As we creep closer to Bellingham Beer Week, the city will become alive with the various beer-centric events happening. Here is what to expect from Aslan Brewing during these busy days of Beer Week. ALL WEEK FUNDRAISERS AT ASLAN // Nine for Nine: Beer for the Planet Nine days, nine nonprofits, nine percent. All week long, Aslan will be donating 9 percent of beer sales to 9 local, environmentally oriented nonprofits. Come into Aslan any day during Bellingham Beer Week and your pints will help a different cause. Here are the nine different nonprofits that will be apart of Aslan for Beer Week.
We're kicking off Bellingham Beer Week with a local brewery tee day. Wear a t-shirt from a local brewery to our brewpub and drink $3 pints all day. All Whatcom County breweries are included: Boundary, North Fork, Chuckanut, Kulshan, Menace, Wander, Structures, Stones Throw, Bellingham Beer Lab, Gruff, Atwood Ales, Subdued. It’s our way of saying thank you to the awesome breweries and beer lovers in our community.
This Earth Day some of Bellingham’s finest establishments are teaming up for an all-day, city-wide event, Beers & Gears! Join Aslan Brewing, Boundary Bay Brewing, and Bayou on Bay as we encourage car-free transportation to each location to raise awareness for energy efficient travel. Both breweries will be swapping their new beers; Aslan will be selling Boundary Bay’s Cedar Dust IPA, Boundary Bay will be selling Aslan’s Captain Planet IPA, and Bayou on Bay will be selling both. Proceeds from Aslan and Boundary’s drink sales will go to the Washington Trails Association and Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association, while proceeds from Bayou will go to The Hub Community Bike Shop. Pick up a Beers & Gears stamp card at any of the three locations and acquire all three stamps from each establishment to qualify for the raffle. The raffle will be held at Bayou on Bay at 7 p.m. Grand prize includes two VIP passes to April Brew’s Day. No beer purchase necessary and stamps can be acquired in any order. Just make sure you’re traveling car-free.
