Breakside Brewery Announces Partnership Deal with Maletis Beverage

Breakside Brewery of Portland, OR, not long after announcing their new expansion with a 30-barrel production brewery in nearby Milwaukie, OR, has further declared that they will be partnering with Maletis Beverage mid-next month for distribution.

Breakside Brewery under owner Scott Lawrence and Brewmaster Ben Edmunds have greatly enhanced the craft beer scene in Portland since opening in 2010, winning multiple national awards for their craft beer and received local praise for their food pairings with regional artisan culinary specialists.

This new move also enhances the growing craft beer portfolio of Maletis, which carries other popular and award winning Oregon brewing companies such as Lompoc Brewing, 10 Barrel Brewing, Burnside Brewing, Oakshire Brewing, Ninkasi Brewing, Widmer Brothers Brewing, Southern Oregon Brewing, Occidental Brewing, Pelican Brewing, and more.

Here’s the full scoop on the new Breakside-Maletis partnership from the brewhouse:
