Route 20 IPA Returns as Next Seasonal Release From Ground Breaker

From Ground Breaker:

Route 20 IPA, a single-hop India Pale Ale, is back at Ground Breaker Brewing. Named after the longest continuous road in the United States, this gluten-free IPA is 43 IBU and 6% alcohol by volume. Route 20 is a unique IPA that was designed to get all of its bittering, flavor and aroma from late additions of Santiam hops.

The road that is this IPA’s namesake spans an incredible 3,365 miles from Newport, Oregon to Boston, Massachusetts. “It was probably the shortest amount of time we’ve ever spent naming anything. I was on my way to Steens Mountain, heading through the Santiam Pass,” said James Neumeister, Founder and Head of R&D. “That’s when the name came to me.”
The packaging isn’t the only thing the award-winning gluten-free craft brewery is changing, they’re also continuing to improve their recipes by expanding their use of malted rice from Chico, California-based Eckert Malting & Brewing. “Since the successful release of Paddy Porter we’ve been working on expanding our use of Jim’s products,” explained Head Brewer Tyler Kueber. “Route 20 IPA is the next step in that process.”

Route 20 IPA is currently available in 16 ounce cans and on draft at the Ground Breaker Gastropub in Portland, OR. It will be distributed to Ground Breaker territories in the last week of June. Ground Breaker beers are distributed in Massachusetts by Atlantic Distributing.
