Breakside Brewery Releases India Golden Ale, Rainbows & Unicorns IPA and New Fat Head's Brewing collaboration

Portland & Milwaukie, Oregon - 
Breakside Brewery is chasing a green and gold rainbow to hop heaven with the release of new seasonals IGA (India Golden Ale) and Rainbows & Unicorns IPA and new Fat Head's Brewing collaboration - Pulp Free IPA. The popular seasonal IGA, a golden colored light bodied double IPA is being released in 22oz bottles and draft now. Rainbows & Unicorns was originally designed for the 2015 Oregon Brewers Fest and showcases two "new" hop varietals Galaxy and Eldorado. Both beers will be on tap at the release party for new Breakside & Fat Head's Brewing collaboration "Pulp Free IPA" this Friday, April 15, 2016 at The Growler Guys in SE Portland.

About India Golden Ale double IPA
This beer first debuted as a collaboration with our good friends at Ninkasi Brewing. It was a trendsetter when it was first released on draft, as it highlights the route that lots of new hop bombs are headed: light in body, lighter in color, and HUGE in citrus flavor and aroma.

India Golden Ale or "I.G.A." is a showcase for two relatively new hops, Mosaic and Eldorado. Mosaic gives the beer a bright mix of stonefruit and tropical flavors along with a big piney backbone. Eldorados are fruity and soften the finish. We keep the malt bill incredibly simple to allow the hops to take center stage in this elegant and refreshing beer.

Malts: 2 Row, Munich,
Hops: Newport, Eldorado, Mosaic, Chinook
8.1% ABV  80 IBU 

About Rainbows & Unicorns IPA
We are excited to continue a new series of draft-only IPAs with this popular session beer. Originally designed for the 2015 Oregon Brewers Fest, Rainbows & Unicorns showcases two of our favorite "new" hop varietals Galaxy and Eldorado. Galaxy provides juicy notes that are reminiscent of peach and apricot; Eldorado is pure pineapple juice with some underlying lime zest. We back these up with a healthy dose of Comet hops, which is a heritage hop varietal, overlooked for many years and now gaining popularity again due to its intense stone fruit and citrus character.

This beer is also a foray into the "juicier" and "sweeter" style of hoppy beer that is wildly hyped elsewhere in the US. We admire the clean, pure hop flavors that these beers show, and we've massaged our version with just enough Northwest edge to make it our own.
Brewed in small batches and released in limited quantity during the first months of 2016, this beer will be extremely fresh until it quickly disappears.

Malts: Two Row, Maris Otter, Flaked Rice, Light Crystal
Hops: Eldorado, Galaxy, Comet
5.1% ABV  30 IBU

About Pulp Free IPA
Our take on the new-school IPA featuring juicy and tropical varietals like Mosaic, Citra, and Eldorado. This IPA features all the great things we enjoy about the new juicy IPA's but looks and tastes like beer. Big juicy aromas; a round and pillowy mouthfeel; Pulp Free finishes with soft bitterness and tropical fruit flavors. 6.4% 45 IBU

The addition of passionfruit in our lagering tanks gives this beer an inviting stonefruit aroma.
