Our Brewery

The Ground Breaker Ethos

Ground Breaker opened in 2011 as the first dedicated gluten-free brewery in the United States. Our approach to making superior gluten-free craft beer is a simple one: use only premium ingredients which are naturally gluten-free. Our brewery consists of a new 7 BBL brewhouse built in Portland, OR by Metalcraft Fabrication. It was delivered in the Fall of 2011 during the construction of our brewery and we brewed our first batch in November 2011. In addition to the brewhouse we have one 7 BBL fermenter, five 14 BBL fermenters and two 14 BBL brite tanks.
