You don’t have to be an up-until-all-hours night owl to appreciate
a fine brew. Sometimes kicking back with a unique, well-concocted
IPA is the best way to de-stress after a long day at the office.
So, if you’re on the hunt for a new home
and you love a
good beer, know that there are plenty of bars and breweries near
apartments in Bellingham … and we’ve got the perfect selection for
you.
Swim Club Wet Bar
Don’t get it twisted. While this might sound like some kind of
party-centric pool party, it’s anything but. Come here for the
extensive cocktail menu that includes such concoctions as Kalimotxo
(Tempranillo, lime essence, spices, and cola) and The Corduroy
(naked grouse scotch, Averna, and orange bitters). Nibbles include
delectable plates of chickpea fries, salmon Crudo, and steak
tartare. Feeling extra adventurous? You can even order The Full
Monty … or, every single plate on the menu. (We suggest bringing a
friend or two for this one.)
Boundary Bay Brewery
With a self-professed mission to “save the ale,” this place seeks
to brew only the best that you’ll find in all of Bellingham. (They
also concoct a fine selection of lagers.) There are some staples
you’ll always find on the menu (like the Best Bitter ESB,
Bellingham Blonde, and Cedar Dust IPA), but be on the lookout for
the specialty, rare batches (like the Dad Bod IPA and the Ekstatik
Nostratik). The latter is never around for very long, so if you see
one on the menu, we'd suggest ordering.
Aslan Brewery
The four-vessel system at this brewery is responsible for making a
whole line of award-winning beverages, including the Berliner-Style
Weisse, Brown Porter, and Hazy IPA. As much as this brewery is
about the beer menu, it also has a food selection that includes
vegan, vegetarian and even gluten-free options. Start off by
digging into a creamy-crispy plate of waffle-fry poutine before you
try to wrap your mouth around the towering bison burger. (Trust us
... the latter is quite the feat.)
Kulshan Brewing Co.
Sustainability is the name of the game at this brewery, while still
delivering high-quality ales that reflect the tastes of the Pacific
Northwest. No matter the time of year, you’ll always be able to
find their Heliotrope, Bastard Kat, and Sunnyland (all India pale
ales). But also be on the lookout for seasonal choices like the
Greenwood (summer ale), Kitten Mittens (winter ale), and Party in
the Woods (a session IPA).
As you can see, bars and breweries near apartments in Bellingham
abound. The toughest choice you have now is deciding which one to
visit first.
