Ground Breaker Brewing, the Great American Beer Festival® and World Beer Cup® winning dedicated gluten-free brewery, released their latest seasonal beer this week. At 5.1% alcohol by volume Luella is a Belgian Pale Ale with pleasantly complex notes of bread, toast, biscuit, and caramel. Fruit and spice characters provided by Belgian yeast round out this sessionable ale.

Luella is a namesake for Luella Love of Love Farm. Love Farm is a family-owned community-supported agricultural farm nestled in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range. Luella Love founded Love Farm in 1905 with her husband John where for over 100 years the Love family has been dedicated to growing fresh produce and berries. Ground Breaker Brewing’s Gastropub at 2030 SE 7th Avenue in Portland is a drop off location for Love Farm CSA members.

“Most of the beers we produce at Ground Breaker start with ‘what do I want to drink right now?’” said James Neumeister, Founder and Head of Research and Development at Ground Breaker Brewing. “A Belgian pale ale is an any time of the year beer but with a lower ABV and its fruity-spicy yeast character, it is well suited for a late summer to fall transition beer.”

Luella was first released by the brewery in early 2015. “With the many new ingredients available to us, it is very exciting to revisit a style like Belgian pale,” remarked Head Brewer Tyler Kueber. “We’re really happy with how it came out.”

Luella is currently available on draft and in 16 ounce cans at Ground Breaker Brewing and Gastropub. It will begin shipping to distribution partners in the coming weeks.
