Bellingham Brewers Tap Takeover to Tap Bellingham Beer Week Beer
This year Chuckanut Brewery was chosen to brew the collaboration Bellingham Beer Week NxNW Lager. With Chuckanut’s reputation for making great lager beers the Bellingham Beer Week lager is brewed using Skagit Valley malts (barley grown and malted in Skagit Valley) and Yakima hops. Tapping the beer will take place at The Alibi Room, Vancouver, BC at the Bellingham Brewers Tap Takeover on August 31 at 6pm. An additional Bellingham Brewer’s Tap Takeover will also take place September 3 at Naked City in Seattle 6-9pm. In Bellingham selected accounts will tap their NxNW Lager on September 11 to start Bellingham Beer Week!
Both Bellingham Brewer’s Tap Takeovers will feature beers from each of the six breweries in Bellingham including: Chuckanut Brewery, Kulshan Brewing, Boundary Bay Brewing, Wander Brewing, Aslan Brewery, and Menace/The Local Brewery. The selection will feature each of the brewery’s signature style beers.
The NxNW Lager showcases northwest ingredients including Copeland and Alba barley from Skagit Malting Co. and Yakima hops Chinook, Cascade, Amarillo, and Mt Hood. NxNW Lager is a zesty, citrus and pine scented full flavored easy drinking lager brew with 6% ABV and 39 UBI. Only available on tap at very selected accounts in Bellingham during beer week (all the local breweries plus Copper Hog, Elizabeth Station, McKays Taphouse, and Cliff House Restaurant) NxNW is very limited in supplies.
Bellingham Beer Week runs September 11-21 with a full calendar of events including Chuckanut Oktoberfest September 12, Dick Cantwell Beer Booktalk September 15, Copper Hog Barleywood Squares September 12, Boundary Bay’s Women in Beer September 14 and more.
