Description
Otherlands Beer is our funny little family-owned brewery & cafe nestled into the Sunnyland neighborhood of Bellingham, Washington. While we originally conceived of our pub as a cottage in the woods called “Chickens As Friends” that brewed one beer and served food exclusively from our garden, we decided that a cozy 50-seat cafe was a bit more reasonable.
Dreamt up and founded by two brewing and service industry veterans, Karolina Lobrow & Ben Howe, Otherlands Beer is a celebration of easy drinking beer, thoughtful food, and warm hospitality.
At the cafe you’ll find our modest selection of unfiltered lagers, farmhouse ales, and modern American pale ales served fresh from the tap and gravity cask and paired with old-world inspired meals and snacks from our humble kitchen. We invite you to come explore Otherlands with us.

On tap at Garden Path, pours a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma smells authentic, with bright spicy Saaz hops, straw, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is a little less expressive, with some spicy Saaz, straw, and crackery malt. Soft mouthfeel—maybe less carbonated than it should be, certainly less expressive than the nose suggested. Still, good overall.

On tap at The Walled Garden, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops, juicy sweet citrus, and biscuity malt. Flavour has big juicy citrus peel, bitter pine, and biscuity malt. Finishes citrusy and piney, with ample bitterness. Very good.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has some clove, plenty of esters, some banana… not really much champagne-like effervescence. Flavour is better, with plenty of champagne-like effervescent, light clove, and a touch of banana. Unusually estery for a brut. It’s decent but doesn’t quite hit the mark.
