Summer Trip

We are trying to decide on our summer Island trip.  We have a trip planned to Yellowstone already but have some extra time to go on a second trip.  So far, Aruba is on the short list.  It is fairly inexpensive to stay there and airfare is not bad.

Boundary Bay Brewery

Shawn checked in at Boundary Bay Brewery.

We are a locally and independently owned craft brewery and we opened our doors in September of 1...995 in a restored, historic warehouse right in the heart of downtown Bellingham, WA.

From the beginning we knew that we wanted to make the kinds of beers that we liked to drink: big, bold Northwest brews. We began producing award-winning handcrafted beers and quickly became a place where the locals love to go.

We believe strongly in local economy and in keeping our community vibrant and healthy! To that end, we partner with at least 15 local suppliers/farmers to create a menu of fun, fresh Northwest pub food and help support over 100 local non profits annually.

We are all about community...both in this wonderful little town we live in and online. So thank you for being here. For joining us in our mission to Save The Ales!See More
