As another year comes to a close, we look back on a year of good memories...and even better drinks! Bellingham and Whatcom County are known for their great breweries, and for good reason. See for yourself why so many people flock to our corner of the Pacific Northwest to sample craft beers, ciders, and even wines as we reflect on another big year of awards and honors.

This new brewery on State Street in Downtown Bellingham is a taproom-focused brewery focused on "wild and spontaneous fermentation." They are dog- and kid-friendly, and also offer various local beers, ciders, and wines.
In 2022, this Mount Vernon brewery opened a new location in Ferndale, just north of Bellingham. In addition to two dozens taps serving up delicious District brews along with other local beers and ciders, they also offer a food menu featuring burgers and more than 10 flavors of chicken wings.

The Barrel House - The North Fork Brewery
Now you can enjoy delicious North Fork beers in Bellingham! The Deming-based brewery expanded in summer of 2022, creating a dedicated location for fermenting as well as a taproom where Bellinghamsters can taste the brewery's sour projects, ales and lagers from their Deming location, along with various collaboration brews. Though the Bellingham location doesn't offer pizza or food, it does have the same beer-shrine vibes as its mountain town counterpart.
