The first release of the year has arrived at Ground Breaker Brewing, the Portland-based 100% dedicated gluten-free brewery out of Portland, Oregon. Paddy Porter will kick off the seven-time Great American Beer Festival medal winning brewery’s 2019 Experiment Ale Series.
Medium bodied with a thick creamy head, Paddy Porter is made with roasted chestnuts, roasted lentils, cacao nibs, and dark roasted rice malt from Eckert Malting. It will be released in a 16 ounce can package. Paddy Porter first debuted from Ground Breaker in January 2018.
“We were very pleased with Paddy Porter, people have been asking about it since the last 2018 case was sold,” said James Neumeister, Head of R&D at Ground Breaker. “The decision to bring it back in 2019 was a no-brainer.”
“It was a hit on the festival circuit last year,” commented Tyler Kueber, Head Brewer at Ground Breaker. “The name comes from the variety of rice we use, and we should have seen this coming, but it was very in-demand for St. Patrick’s Day.”
Paddy Porter 16 ounce cans are scheduled to be released in the first week of February. It is already available on draught at the Ground Breaker Gastropub.
