Summertime

Lager

It’s Summertime. We jokingly say that it’s always beach season at Breakside, but we all know that Northwest summers hit different. And to celebrate the summer of 2026, we’re releasing a new, low cal, low carb, low cost light lager, called simply, Summertime. For a long time, these ultra light beers had a bad rep amongst beer snobs, while remaining ever-popular with beer drinkers worldwide. We’d like to think that our team always appreciated these beers for what they are: subtle and innocuous, easy-to-enjoy on any occasion, and difficult to make well.
 
After 15 years of brewing different variations at our pubs and in occasional production releases– all malt, rice and corn, only rice, only corn – we’ve brought our learned experience to bear in Summertime. We’ve taken a few moves out of the playbooks from our friends at big breweries to create a craft version of a delicious light lager. We use two Northwest-grown two row malt, a grip of Canadian-grown Pilsner malt, and real flaked corn to give the beer a light body and crisp finish. Like all Breakside beers, this is ingredient-driven, with a crackery malt base at the forefront with just enough support from yeast and hops to balance the beer perfectly.
