There are craft beer trends we are excited about or are coming and then there are craft beer trends some want to see end. Allen Park over at Paste Magazine is over the following four trends. The last one is a insightful. Maybe craft beer just needs to get over railing on Big [...]
The craft beer landscape is ever changing. Breweries evolve to meet the advancing tastes of their fans and they are always shifting with market forces. Local beers are what sell. There are over 3,500 breweries in the US and 2,000 in planning. Most of these sell below 15,000 barrels a year and [...]
As many of you know, we recently announced Bellingham's next brewery, Subdued Brewing Company. This comes on the heels of Fairhaven's Stones Throw Brewing making amazing progress on their incredibly unique brewery. Years ago, Subdued co-owner Dave Morales and I toyed with the idea of opening a brewery ourselves, but reality set [...]
The popularity of IPAs are unmatched. They are, without a doubt the most popular beer [and most hated!] in the US. The growth of this style has been a major factor in the growth of the craft beer industry itself. IPAs are so loved the very use of "IPA" has led to [...]
Craft beer has gluten in it. Like tons of gluten. It has 3-7 times as much barley as a macro light lager. Gluten that'll make your stomach churn if you have extreme gluten sensitivity, or, if you suffer from celiac disease, it can kill you. One-third of the US claims to be gluten [...]

Washington state now has roughly 250* breweries, and at least a third of them have opened in the last few years. Among this sea of new breweries, Bale Breaker Brewing is one of the rising stars. Since opening in April of 2013, it has already garnered many awards and accolades. Among [...]
The oldest beer I've had was a 2010 Abyss, unless you include the mid 1990s Bud Dry I found in the back of my fridge. Real good stuff there. This beer trumps my Abyss AND my Bud Dry. In 2010 divers found 170 year old beer and champagne off the coast [...]
I have a friend who flies and drives to Russian River Brewing every year to wait in line and get the year's batch of Pliny. Every. Year. That is commitment I do not have. Fortunately, my friend is kind and counteracts my slothliness with generosity by inviting me over to drink it. No [...]
