Beer Release: Collaboration IPA with Breakside Brewing

At Mother Earth, we’ve always believed that collaboration is at the heart of what makes craft beer so special. It’s more than just getting two breweries together to slap their names on a can - it’s about sharing ideas, learning from each other, and creating something that neither of us would’ve come up with on our own. That spirit is exactly what drove our latest project: a brand-new IPA brewed in collaboration with our friends at Breakside Brewing.

If you’re not familiar with Breakside, they’re one of the most respected breweries in the Pacific Northwest - creative, technical, and not afraid to color outside the lines. We’ve admired their work for a long time, so when the opportunity came up to brew something together, we jumped at it.

The result is a bright, expressive IPA brewed with a killer combo of Superdelic™, Krush™, and Citra® hops. Flavor-wise, this one’s all about fruit—passionfruit, grapefruit, white grape, and tropical vibes for days. It’s juicy and aromatic without being overly sweet, with just enough bite to keep things crisp and drinkable.

Working with Breakside felt natural from the start. We both value balance and drinkability, but we’re also obsessed with exploring new hop varieties and layering in complexity. Superdelic and Krush are two newer hops that are still flying under the radar for a lot of drinkers, and pairing them with the always-reliable Citra gave us a whole new range of flavors to play with.

As our Head Brewer Matt Watterson put it:

“We wanted this beer to feel like a fresh tropical breeze with just the right amount of complexity. Working with Breakside gave us a chance to experiment with some really expressive hops. Superdelic and Krush are still under the radar for most drinkers, and pairing them with Citra made for this super vibrant, high-toned fruit character that we’re really proud of.”

At its core, this beer is a testament to the collaborative spirit that defines the craft beer industry—a space where competition often takes a back seat to camaraderie, shared learning, and a mutual drive to elevate the art form.

“Collaborations like this one give brewers the opportunity to exchange ideas, and challenge each other to keep innovating.” 

Watterson continued:

“They’re a chance to learn something new, geek out over hops, and create something special. That’s the magic of it.”
