Boundary Bay Brewery in Bellingham, WA Ranked Largest Individual Brewpub in United States

Boundary Bay Brewery and Bistro in Bellingham, WA is the largest individual brewpub in the United States according to the Brewers Association’s May/June 2017 issue of The New Brewer publication. Each year, the Brewers Association (BA) (a trade organization for the craft beer industry) releases annual production statistics for each brewery in The New Brewer. A brewpub, as defined by the BA, is a brewery restaurant with at least 25 percent of beer sales onsite. Boundary Bay Brewery features a taproom with 10 taps and two cask engines, as well as a bistro and outdoor dining including a patio and beer garden. “In addition to producing award-winning beer, we pride ourselves on our extensive, locally-sourced food menu,” General Manager Janet Lightner says. “We’re thankful to provide a place for our community to bring their family and friends together for a genuine craft beer experience.” Over the years Boundary Bay Brewery has been ranked as one of the largest brewpub in the Pacific Northwest; and with a yield of 6,147 barrels (1 barrel equals 31 gallons) in 2015, they are ranked as the largest individual brewpub, out of over 1,400 brewpubs, in the United States. Boundary Bay Brewery is an independently owned and operated brewpub located in downtown Bellingham. The brew team (Aaron Jacob Smith, Steve Ellison and Bryan Krueger) crafts the beer in the original 17-barrel brewhouse. “The growth of the craft beer industry over the years inspires us,” owner Ed Bennett says. “When we started in 1995 our goal was to provide our community with high-quality handcrafted beer and great food as a complement. After 21 years our goal remains the same.” Link to photos

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
