Bale Breaker Announces The Newest Frenzgiving IPA

Announcing The Newest Frenzgiving IPA
Bale Breaker’s Frenz Collaboration Series is back with their third Frenzgiving release, this time featuring nine Ballard breweries.

Yakima, WA  – October 30, 2024 – Bale Breaker Brewing Company, a brewery located on their family’s 4^th generation hop farm in the beautiful Yakima Valley, is excited to announce that their popular Frenz Collaboration Series is back with their 3rd Frenzgiving IPA, a mega-collaboration IPA released every November. This year’s Frenzgiving Collaboration features 8 of the brewery’s Ballard taproom neighbors – Stoup, Reuben’s, Urban Family, Lucky Envelope, Obec, Wheelie Pop, Distant West, & Bickersons.
"After two years of featuring our neighboring Yakima breweries with our Frenzgiving releases, we decided it was time to swap to the West-side and give our Ballard brewery and taproom some love," says co-owner Kevin Quinn. "We reached out to our pals in the Ballard Brewed Coalition to see who was in and ended up with a rad collab with 8 amazing local breweries."
It was easy for the eight breweries to agree to brew a crushable West Coast IPA, featuring a few of Bale Breaker’s current favorite hops – old faithfuls Mosaic® and Simcoe®, plus their latest obsession – Krush™. With aromas of grapefruit, mango, and blueberry, this IPA perfectly accents a turkey dinner.

This collaboration IPA will be released this Friday, November 1st, at both their Yakima and Ballard taprooms, with a special release party happening at the Ballard Bale Breaker x Yonder Cider Taproom with brewers from the collaboration hanging out all night. It will receive full distribution throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho – find it using Bale Breaker’s online beer finder. Washington customers can also order their beer via their online store after launch.
