Pint Points
- Join Atwood Ales, Boundary Bay and local firefighters for the Operation Warm fundraiser on July 20th at Boundary Bay. Each year, Atwood, Boundary and local firefighters team up to make a special beer raising funds to buy coats for underprivileged kids in Whatcom County. This year, they’ve made a killer raspberry saison, so make sure you get your hands on some for a good cause. The fundraiser will be one of the few places you can try the limited amount of this very special beer!

-New Beers-
Stones Throw Brewery
Vienna Via Skagit
A moderate-strength lager with amber undertones and mild floral aroma. The simple, subdued noble hop character pairs with the 100% Skagit Valley Malt creating a slightly bready and light flavor.
4.5% ABV
GRUFF Brewing Co.
Black Labs Lager & Vienna Lager
Two new GRUFF creations (one popular returner) are new on tap this week! Both are light but malty, the perfect balance.
Kulshan Brewing
Inspiration IPA
A finely crafted NW-Style IPA, Inspiration features an assertive hop profile that is nicely balanced by bready and smooth malt notes. Aromas of pine, tangerine, and apricot dance out of the glass to greet the nose, accompanied by light notes of sage and lemongrass. On the tongue, this beer is clean and dry, with slight lingering bitterness and robust citrus and pine flavor notes, making for a classic and smooth drinking IPA.
Ocean Eyes Hazy Pale
Fermented with a small amount of mango puree, this pale ale is fruity, hoppy, smooth, and sublimely delicious. Flaked Oats and unmalted wheat combine to create a balanced and smooth body, while the marriage of mango puree and azacca hops impart juicy notes of ripe mango and tangerine. Full of bright fruity flavors, Ocean Eyes Hazy Pale Ale is an easy-drinking summer beer that will have you coming back for more.
