Bellingham Beer Week is back for a 10th year! Breweries and taphouses all around Bellingham will be celebrating our city’s vibrant craft beer culture with a week of creative events and beer releases, leading up to the grand finale of Bellingham’s biggest beer festival- April Brews Day! For the last decade, Bellingham Beer Week has been an annual celebration of the creative and unique beer scene in Bellingham, making our city a destination for beer drinkers across the Pacific Northwest.
This year, Bellingham Beer Week was planned by 15 of the breweries in Bellingham gathering together to get organized. So organized, in fact, that not only did we plan Bellingham Beer Week, but we also created an organizing committee for our beer community - Bellingham Beer Alliance. The BBA will be planning and promoting BBW, and will also be looking for other opportunities to continue to celebrate and grow the reach of Bellingham beer through other events and collaborations throughout the year.
“We’re all really excited about the potential of the Bellingham Beer Alliance. Planning for Bellingham Beer Week has certainly been our first priority, but we also can’t help but look forward to other event possibilities throughout the year, like an Oktoberfest or a Winter Beer Festival in Bellingham. We’re looking forward to being able to apply for grant money, and continuing on the momentum of Bellingham Beer Week.” - Emily Mallos, Communications Lead.
This April, breweries and taphouses all across Bellingham will be holding beer-centric events every day for the 11 days of BBW. From block parties, to brewery tours, to beer and food pairings, and collaboration beer releases, Bellingham Beer Week brings something for every beer lover! Bellingham Beer Week will be a true showcase of collaboration and camaraderie in our community, and sure to craft an experience as unique as each of the breweries in Bellingham!
