About this beer

Breaksidede Brewery’s Life Volume 1 is a barleywine-style ale, weighing in at a substantial 9.5% ABV. The label describes it as “our love letter to malt, for each volume of life,” and this sentiment rings true in its deeply rich flavor profile. Brewed with grains from a different maltster for each volume, this iteration presents a complex tapestry of flavors—notes of toffee, dark fruit, and caramel are prominent, balanced by a warming alcohol presence and a subtle hop bitterness. The beer is brewed and bottled in Portland, Oregon, and the label features striking artwork portraying a stylized anatomical heart rendered in shades of deep purple and blue, with glowing veins suggesting vitality and pulse.

Warning labels cover a significant portion of the can, addressing responsible consumption and associated health risks, but do not detract from the overall aesthetic. This beer is intended for savoring—a slow sip reveals layers of malt complexity that unfold with each taste. It’s a pint (16 fl oz) offering from Breaksidede, and the label includes a QR code encouraging further exploration of the project behind the Life series.
