A One-of-a-Kind Brewery Discovered in Bellingham
Otherlands Beer is a rare European-style specialist in the American craft beer scene. While American craft beer is dominated by IPAs and stouts, they deliberately focus on lagers and farmhouse ales (saisons, geuze, etc.). Their unwavering commitment to European styles earned them recognition as a Top 10 Brewpub in America.
The taproom has an open, welcoming atmosphere. It was heartwarming to see local families relaxing with their pets. All food is vegetarian, and the vegetarian dumplings with rich sauce paired exceptionally well with the beer. Substantial enough for a full meal.
Beers I Tried: Stein-Style Lager
From the many taps available, I chose a lager served in a classic stein style. The golden liquid topped with fluffy white foam was the picture of a classic beer. On the palate, clean malt sweetness and pleasant carbonation spread beautifully.
Flavor Profile (Lager)
| Style | European-Style Lager |
| Appearance | Bright golden, white fine-textured head |
| Aroma | Clean malt, subtle grassy hops |
| Taste | Clean malt sweetness, crisp finish |
| Food Pairing | Pairs exceptionally well with vegetarian dumplings |
European lagers are all about fermentation temperature and aging time. Bottom-fermenting at low temperatures for extended periods creates that crystal-clear appearance and clean flavor. A brewery specializing in this in America is truly rare!
It’s truly rare to find an American brewery this committed to European styles. The vegetarian dumplings were delicious too, with seasoning that complemented the beer perfectly without overwhelming it!
It says pet-friendly! That means I can go too! The smell of those dumplings is so tempting!
