Bellingham Beer Week 2017: Come for the beer, stay for the beer

The 2017 Bellingham Beer Week will take place April 21 through April 29. Last year, Tap Trail took over Bellingham Beer Week. This year they chose April for the week-long event after determining that spring is the season that works best for the Bellingham craft beer community. "Bellingham is in spring is a beautiful thing! Let’s show them what we’ve got. BBW is about showcasing not just our craft beer community, but our community as a whole. With so much to do in this town, we want to bring it all together," explains Tap Trail co-owner Scott Pelton. There are also a number of events that will meld well with it. For example:

Earth Day is April 22.
Dirty Dan Day is April 23 in the Fairhaven Historic District, near Stones Throw Brewing.
Bellingham Beer Week will culminate on April Brews Day, April 29.

The details of events, beers, t-shirts schwag and the rest are currently still brewing so stay tuned to Tap Trail and the BBW website for more details. Follow Tap Trail here and BBW here.

We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
