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.

500 mL bottle, gifted by Bren. Thanks! A really delicious, smooth drinking lager. Nice bready malt aromas, and more than enough flavor. Creamy body, long lingering cracker malt, bready grain finish. Smooth and delicious brew here.

Draft pour pint enjoyed at Chuck's 85th. Clean pour, pale golden with an active foam head. Lively carb, inviting aroma with soft straw.grqins and a grassy hop pairing. Slick taste, smooth and refreshing with a crisp, cracker like grain, and constant, but subtle grassy note. Just enough hop character to this to really seperate it from any other pils. Solid brew here for sure.

On tap at Otherlands, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma reveals British bready malt, moderate roast, and just a touch of molasses. Flavour is fairly dry, with bready malt, a little roast, and a touch of caramel. I'm not a huge fan of the malt bill here—it's clean and well dialled in, but the malt character almost has a holiday spiciness undertone to it that I could do without. Decent, but not my thing.
