USA, WA: Chuckanut Brewing closing their Bellingham brewery

Famed lager makers Chuckanut Brewing are closing their Bellingham, Washington based brewery and kitchen, The New School reported on September 28.

The company is not slowing down though, just refocusing with expanded production at their larger location in Burlington at the Port of Skagit where they will more than double in size. Combined with a new Portland taproom location dubbed the P Nut Chuckanut Beer Hall, the expansion will allow the brewery to bottle and can more of their beers.

The upcoming Portland location on SE Division district will have indoor and outside seating with beer, cider and sodas by the glass and the option to purchase packaged Chuckanut beers for off premise including party kegs.

The contraction part of the equation is that the building in Bellingham where Chuckanut started has been sold and the new ownership wishes to use the building for their own project. Chuckanut will be leaving Bellingham for the time being, but always on the look-out for another good location. With two big projects to work on through 2022 the company will be busy. The last day the Bellingham site will be open for food and beer will be mid-October.
