Bale Breaker Brewing takes its Frenz Series of beers to a new level

The Frenz IPAs are collaborative efforts involving Bale Breaker Brewing and one or more of its brewery friends. The brewery introduced the Frenz Series in 2016. Bale Breaker has released nearly a dozen of these one-off special collaboration beers over the years. To celebrate the 2024 Frenzgiving season, Bale Breaker teamed up with eight breweries from Seattle’s Ballard Brewery District. This Friday, November 1st Bale Breaker releases Frenzgiving IPA at its Yakima and Ballard taprooms.

Bale Breaker teamed up with Stoup Brewing, Reuben’s Brews, Urban Family Brewing, Lucky Envelope Brewing, Obec Brewing, Wheelie Pop Brewing, Distant West Brewing, and Bickersons Brewhouse. Here is the release announcement with more details.

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, Wash. – October 30, 2024 – Bale Breaker Brewing Company, a brewery located on their family’s 4th 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.
