RATF Classic: #344 Ben Edmunds - Brewmaster @ Breakside Brewery
/We're looking back to March of this year, and our conversation with Ben Edmunds - Brewmaster at Breakside Brewery in Portland - where he oversees the company's production brewery and (at the time) two pub breweries.
Since this interview, they've opened up a location in Lake Oswego, Astoria - and their long talked about Beer Garden and Beer Hall in Beaverton.
We talk about his background, growing up in the mid-west, to what ultimately inspired him to change careers as a high school teacher and go into brewing. Under Ben's guidance, Breakside has won many medals at national and international competitions - including 8 World Beer Cup Awards.
Hear the behind the scenes decision making moments that have made Breakside what it is today - including the introduction of a new year-round witbier. Plus - where does Ben eat and drink when he's not at Breakside.
