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 Otherlands, pours a very cloudy peachy yellow with a small white head. Nose is very yeasty and muddled, with muddled pithy stone fruits, not much for clear hop expression. Flavour comes across muddled and yeasty, with none of the classic PNW hops really expressing themselves cleanly; fairly muddled but inoffensive. Meh.

On tap at Otherlands, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has some metallic notes, bready malt, some toasted notes, and very minimal bitterness. Flavour is dry and fairly nondescript, with dry bready malt, hardly any hops. Not much going on here but not terrible.

On tap at Otherlands, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a medium white foamy head. Aroma has a nice spicy Saaz hop character, crisp biscuity malt, and some straw. Flavour is fairly crisp, with lots of spicy Saazy goodness, crisp crackery malt, and a dry bitter finish. Nice bright spicy bitterness. Very good.

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 Garden Path. Pours clear golden blonde with a white head. Tons of peppery, spicy grass and cracker malts on the nose. Flavour has soft cracker malts, biting hops, nice peppery grassy character. Moderate carbonation. Palate is a bit more muddled, less expression from the Saaz, on the palate than on the nose. Still very good.
