Oregon has forever been renowned as one of the greatest craft beer scenes in North America, perhaps the world, and it's a travesty that we hadn't had a brewery from the state on the pod until now. Ben Edmunds, Co-Founder and Brewmaster at Breakside Brewery, joined Cee to chat about their esteemed 15-year history, how Oregon craft beer hadn't fallen to the trends, how they took the brewery from one location to six across the state, their approach to hospitality, how they drop around 10 fresh hop beers every year, what it's like being 20 minutes from the best hop farms in the world, their barrel program, their flagship beers and his take on Ontario craft beer from his time at the Ontario Craft Brewers Conference in 2024. They got into seven impeccable Breakside beers - White Tea Lager, Tropical Pale, Pilsner, Wanderlust West Coast IPA, West Coast, Best Coast IPA collab with Grains of Wrath, Somebody New In The Old West (2024) Barrel-Aged Stout, and Don't Worry About That Fireplace (2024) Barrel-Aged Stout.

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.

In their latest Fireside Chat, Breakside Brewery's Ben Edmunds and Beervana's Jeff Alworth speak with three brewers whose breweries do not make hoppy ales. We wanted to hear why they chose this path, and what it entails. Because IPAs are overwhelmingly popular among craft beer drinkers, these breweries have had to create interest in other types of beer. How did they do that? And how does the future look for these breweries? Guests in this show: • Bill Arnott, Founder and Brewer of Seattle's Machine House Brewing. • Dan Carey, Co-founder and Brewer of Wisconsin's New Glarus Brewing. • Alex Ganum, Founder and Brewer at Portland's Upright Brewing.
As part of the recent Craft Beer & Brewing Brewer's Retreat, hosted by Russian River in late May 2023, Jamie moderated panel discussions before a live audience of attendees and featured brewers. This episode is a recording of one such panel on West coast-style IPA, featuring Matt Brynildson of Firestone Walker, Ben Edmunds of Breakside, and Sean Lawson of Lawson's Finest. Over the course of the discussion, the brewers cover: using advanced hop products for more hop punch tucking in small amounts of character-building malts dry hopping with dosing vessels mid-fermentation dry hopping with cryo hops for less hop creep and more flavor stability using ALDC to manage hop creep top noting in the dry hop with Southern hemisphere hops managing pH in dry hopping controlling FAN through dry hopping for longevity And more.

You don't have to be an in-the-weeds beer enthusiast to figure out there can be a whole lot of ways to make a beer. Just look at any taplist. There are different ingredients, fermentation options, ABVs, and plenty more spaces in which a brewer can play. When seeking any kind of flavor experience—guided by tradition or new ideas—there can be an endless array of choices to make. In this conversation, we meet with two of the beer world's smartest minds to learn more about the research and development of beer at one of the country's leading craft breweries. At Oregon's Breakside Brewery, collaboration and innovation come together for Ben Edmunds, the company's brewmaster, and Natalie Rose Baldwin, Breakside's R&D brewer. Inspired by food, other beverages, and nature, the pair will share with us how they translate ideas from out in the world into a glass of beer and why it's important to think about ingredients instead of just flavor. When it comes to creating a new beer, what does innovation mean today? And where do successful brewers look to consider what's next? In a world full of Pastry Stouts and New England IPAs that can all feel sort of familiar, it's brewers like these that get to run with fun, weird, and unique combinations of ingredients that can offer new experiences and ideas of how and when we can enjoy a beer.

Ben Edmunds is a London-based painter, whose deconstructionist approach takes him into sculpture, branding, useful objects and wearable equipment. He is best known for his large scale paintings that combine tropes of modernist abstraction with stylised accents of extreme sports. Drawing on his background in sailing, windsurfing and cycling, his work explores the transcendental possibilities of painting as well as these outdoor leisure pursuits, all the time questioning the assumed anti-utilitarianism of painting and asking “what can an artwork do?”. . . Underwritten into his dyed canvases, handmade carbon fibre components and short incidents of text is the sense that we are unsatisfied, in a perpetual state of wanting and desire. We live in a world of seductive adverts, property ladders, job promotions and romantics affairs, all the while searching in the dark as the clock is ticking. His paintings evoke a distant horizon, something you can never reach or obtain, framed by the equipment you might need for the journey. . . Alongside his painting practice, in 2019 Ben set up Aspirational Equipment. A pseudo sports and lifestyle brand for romantics, it provides tools for explorers and dreamers. It recognises the act of searching as a fundamental human driving force, and the state of being on the way somewhere as a part of the human condition.. . .

Jeff talks with Scott and Ben about those ten years, how Breakside, born in a different era, has grown and changed, and what is in store for them as their big celebration has been interrupted by world events.
Breakside Brewery's co-founder and brewmaster Ben Edmunds talks changing business practices, brewing with unusual ingredients, and a ton of collaborations for their 10th anniversary Like every other brewery Portland, Oregon's Breakside Brewery is doing things a bit differently for now. Co-founder, co-owner, and brewmaster Ben Edmunds tells us they are operating on to-go and delivery options. When asked if he's learned anything through this that might impact business going forward he quickly notes that it's too soon to tell, they're just trying to make it through the pandemic. Breakside is know mainly for their stable of award-winning IPAs but Edmunds shares with us some of his more adventurous brews with ingredients like mushrooms, seaweed, and bonito flakes. We also chat about all the amazing hops out there and what varieties are exciting him right now, and discuss a bit about hop terroir.

For Portland, Oregon’s Breakside Brewery (http://breakside.com), beer should offer maximum enjoyment without losing its character and sense of identity. Dual core IPAs Wanderlust and Breakside IPA scratch different hoppy itches, Salted Caramel Stout satisfies those with a sweet tooth, Pilsner offers a slightly less “austere” drinkable option, and the sour and wild beer program gives brewers the chance to play and discover. In this episode, Cofounder and Brewmaster Ben Edmunds discusses the inception and development of their now-classic IPAs, how gravity adjustments impact hops flavors, the “je ne se quoi” of award-winning beers, designing hoppy beers to hit their sweet spot in the time frame when consumers will drink them, hops with greater shelf life, anchoring hops blends with familiar flavors, the vast differences between the core West Coast-style and evolving hazy IPAs that Breakside brews, and more. “The thing I like about competition is… the beers that win, are the beers that are the most pleasant,” says Edmunds. “They’re the most pleasant to a most discriminating group of judges. If you can shave your beers in ways that are optimizing for the most pleasant, you’re going to do well.” Beyond hoppy beers, Edmunds discusses brewing lagers like their year-round Pilsner, their sour process, the challenges brewers face in naming and describing beers for consumers, and the need for brewers to take risks while honoring tradition. “When we put 60 barrels of Marzen out into the trade, we’re taking a withdrawal from our customers, asking them to trust us. But I think that’s how you move the needle. You have to have breweries (who have the brand equity) be willing to spend a little of that [equity] to push the needle with consumers to see if things work. They don’t always work, but if no one is doing that and we’re just giving people more IPA and more IPA, it may be better business, but to me it’s a lot less interesting and I don’t know that it’s good business over the long haul.” This episode is brought to you by: G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): Nearly 2,000 breweries across the US, Canada & Mexico partner with G&D Chillers.

This week we are back after 2 weeks away and are joined by Oregon based Breakside Brewery brewmaster Ben Edmunds! We discuss some of his many world class beers, what it takes to brew a world class IPA as well as some of the differences between the various American IPA's offered in today's market. This weeks beer lineup from Breakside Brewery: Lunch Break ISA Breakside IPA Wanderlust Toro Red Fitzcarraldo (2016 Barrel-Aged Reserve)
Jeff and Patrick visit Breakside Brewery to discuss the history, evolution and culture of fresh hop beers and the fresh hop beer season in the Pacific Northwest. With fist ever live guest! - Ben Edmunds, Brewmaster at Breakside.
This week Ben and Phil take some time to catch up on each others lives and let you listen in. Ben doesn’t remember how to code. Phil is leaving PHP for Rails. They’re both moving again. Since we don’t have any cool tools to recommend this week you should buy our books to support the podcast: Building Secure PHP Apps - Ben Edmunds Build APIs You Won’t Hate - Phil Sturgeon PHP APIs and Security Bundle - Bundle of both books together
This week Ben Edmunds calls in from Portland and Phil Sturgeon calls in from THE FUTURE. They are joined by Steve Corona to discuss Scaling PHP. Most of this conversation centers around Phil and Ben’s horrible facial hair with a few questions thrown Steve’s way to educate us on getting the most out of your LAMP stack. The main takeaways are to stop using Apache and to start using Postgres. Go buy Steve’s book Scaling PHP if you want to be Web Scale.
This week Ben Edmunds and Phil Sturgeon are joined by Jacques Woodcock and Jordan Kasper to discuss virtPHP. virtPHP is a tool for managing multiple environments on your development machine. It is similar to Python’s virtualenv or Ruby’s rbenv, but for PHP. Upcoming Conferences Phil will be speaking at PHP South Africa in April. Ben has no idea what he will attend this year. Jacques will likely be speaking at True North PHP later this year. Jordan will be speaking at jQuery UK in May and at Dutch PHP in June.
This week Ben Edmunds is joined by new guest David Stanley and recurring guest Don Gilbert to discuss the latest Joomla! framework licensing drama. Phil was too busy having a real world life to join us this week, boo! Don does a great job of articulating why switching the Joomla! Framework to an LGPL license would be best for everyone and just might cure cancer. Ben tries to play devil’s advocate but eventually can’t even maintain the ruse. David talks now and then, mostly about his new found love of the AeroPress. Cool things of the week Don recommends you check out Gitter.IM and PageKit. David says you should start using AngularJS and Foundation if you want to be one of the cool kids. Ben promotes DivShot and hasn’t received any sponsorship money yet hint hint.
This week on Fuhmentaboudit!, Chris and Mary invite some brewers to the studio all the way from Portland, Oregon. We have Ben Edmunds from Breakside Brewery, Mike Wright and Josh Grgas from Commons Brewery, and Christian Ettinger from Hopworks Urban Brewery. These brewers tell us all about the city of Portland, which has around 180 breweries – that’s 1 brewery for around every 3,000 people! This program has been sponsored by GreatBrewers.com. “We let that yeast speak loudly in our beers, and the hops and the malt are a little more reserved.” Mike Wright on Fuhmentaboudit!
ExpressionEngine Pro Anna Brown and Testing Hero Chris Hartjes join Ben Edmunds and Phil Sturgeon to discuss the recent rumblings in the ExpressionEngine community and the new EE StackExchange site. We talk about Inversion of Control (IoC), what it is, why its useful and how it’s done. We also talk a little bit about how PHP has been (and is continuing) to move towards a post-framework world thanks to independant framework-agnostic components - and of course we talk with Chris about unit-testing. ExpressionEngine StackExchange /dev/hell Postcast The Grumpy Programmer’s Guide To Building Testable PHP Applications Laravel 4 - IoC Controller Injection & Unit Testing So You Want To Write Tests
In the first episode of the PHP Town Hall podcast, Phil Sturgeon and Ben Edmunds rant about how awesome Composer is; chat with Taylor Otwell about the upcoming Laravel 4 release; and whine about how horrible PHP PAAS hosting is.
At the beautiful Breakside Brewery in Portland, Oregon I interviewed Brew Master Ben Edmunds over 7 tasters of his fine craft beer. Each beer was an exquisite representation of it’s style. The quality of these brews is evidenced by the 2011 Great American Brew Festival medal awarded the Dry Irish Stout. This was no […] The post Breakside Brewery’s Ben Edmunds appeared first on Craft Brew Cast: Brewmaster's Interviews.
