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 Chuck's Greenwood, pours a clear copper bronze with a small white head. Aroma brings out moderate smoke, bready malt and a hint of toasted caramel. Flavour is nicely smoky, with peated malt, bready malt and a hint of caramel. Attenuated out quite a lot, with low residual sugars. Smoky, bready finish. Pleasant.

Draft pour pint at Tapped, Mill Creek. Really flavorful lager worthy of celebration. Clean golden amber appearance. Rockybfoam head. Very clean first sip, flavorful biscuit grains with a cool and crisp palate. Gentle nutty side to the malt bill. Ultimately flavorful while remaining light and refreshing. I feel like I'm rarely impressed with or find thisbstyle to stand out. At least one exception here.

Sort of a dull colour, almost greyish. Thick head. Some banana and sweetness but actually leans towards dry, maybe a touch of wheat.

Dull gold with a medium head. Buttery nose. Less butter on the palate but yeah it'�s a bit distracting to say the least.

Light, pale, with some haze. No head. Full gloppy pale malt - even this style needs some hop. Vaguely biscuity. Yeah, this is just underhopped.

On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a mostly clear bright golden with a medium white head. Aroma smells like an American tripel, with plenty of candi sugar, light cotton candy, and some esters — doesn't smell authentic. Flavour also has that yeast fermentation issue that most American breweries have when attempting this style: estery, boozy, and lightly sweet. Messy and poorly fermented but not a disaster.
