With all the challenges of opening a brewery these days, coming up with names for beers is usually low on a brewer’s priority list. If anything, it may be viewed as one of the “fun” tasks. But it shouldn’t be taken lightly, as it’s an important part of a brewery’s brand. [...]

As the beer scene in Bellingham and Whatcom County continues to expand and defy any preconceived expectations of its growth, it’s interesting to note how many from our brewing community came to their beer making from vastly different walks of life. Most – if not all – embarked on careers [...]
Many of us drive by Aslan on a Friday or Saturday night, and peer through our car windows into the brewery to get a gauge on how busy it is. The answer is always the same; it’s packed, and there’s a wait for a table, the case with every Bellingham brewpub [...]
In Series #1, we ran down a list of breakout beers that were in some way significant to the local beer scene. It was a short list based mainly on my experience of being a part of the scene in the late 90’s and early aughts as well as my [...]
With every decision Aslan Brewing’s owners make, they ask themselves: Does this support our principles? And as you may know, one of their core principles is producing 100% organic beer, which is a challenging and expensive way to make beer. Raw ingredients are limited and difficult to source, additives that [...]
Correction: The article previously stated Austin of Aslan was introducing "yeast cultures" that's, clearly, not true. Editorial regrets the error. Aslan Brewing is one of the Northwest's hottest craft breweries. And while they are burning hot, they aren't burning without direction or purpose. Jack, Frank, Pat, Boe and the whole [...]
One of the nicest things about being a beer lover in the PNW is the fact that our region grows the majority of American grown hops, upwards of 70% by some reports. The Yakima valley is home to much of the commercial Aslan Leather Coaster - Get one w/ [...]

I was reading craft beer news on my phone this morning when a text came in from Aslan GM Pat Haynes, with a picture of their brand new 60bbl fermenter hanging from the tip of a skid. The text read, We're at it again. Placing the 45bbl bright tank this [...]
I'm not sure I've seen a brewery like Aslan Brewing. Maybe it's because I've gotten to know the owners, the brewer, the servers and many of the good people that work there. They've weathered storms like few others in town and evolved into something Bellingham and their fans should be proud [...]

I met up with Aslan's Marketing Director, CJ Good, last week for the canning of Aslan Brewing's popular Dawn Patrol. We all shotgunned a can off the line and talked about what was in store for Aslan in 2016. When Jack, Frank, Pat and Boe started Aslan they knew they wanted to [...]
Andy Beer, Aslan Brewing Education Director Andy Beer brews beer. He's also a certified cicerone beer server, a BJCP judge and he's training to be a Certified Cicerone. With the last name of "Beer" (it is his real last name, if you're wondering) and because he works at [...]
Courage. Power. Strength. These were all the qualities Frank Tosset and his partner Jack needed to take on their unconventional way of starting a brewery. They needed a powerful mascot that could help push them to where they needed to be. Aslan, the Turkish translation of lion, was the perfect representation [...]
Imagine a life without beer Being part of the Tap Trail provides me with a great opportunity to try amazing beers inside and outside of Bellingham, and while having this access to amazing beers has definitely spoiled me and my palette, a recent event in my family made me realize just [...]

Aslan Brewing Company and Base Camp Brewing Company recently collaborated on two separate beers, but one style.

The first collaboration beer was brewed at Base Camp about 5 weeks ago, [...]

This past week was controversial for the Bellingham Tap Trail. It started with a scathing review of Aslan Brewing's beer by the Bellingham Herald.
