Bale Breaker Brewing Company in Photographs

Name: Bale Breaker Brewing Company

Location: 1801 Birchfield Rd, Yakima, WA 98901

Date of Visit: September 2013

Brief Description: Bale Breaker Brewing Company opened their 30-barrel production brewery in April 2013. Owners Patrick Smith, Meghann Quinn, and Kevin Smith are steeped in brewing heritage. Their great-grandparents started Loftus Ranches (featured last week in Tuesday SnapShots) in Yakima Valley in 1920 and planted their first hops in 1932, the year before Prohibition ended. Today, Bale Breaker Brewing Company pays homage to this hop growing heritage by demonstrating an array of magnificent hop-derived aromas and flavors in their outstanding beers.
