I visited my brother in Bellingham back in July, and we hit the Chuckanut and Boundary Bay brewpubs. Both are nice spots, but Chuckanut was smaller and more relaxed than Boundary Bay. I took pictures of the sampler trays at the time, but, unfortunately, those pictures are now gone. I could take photos of their logo glasses here in my apartment, but it’s just not the same. Sigh. Larry and I each ordered a sampler tray at Chuckanut Brewery and Kitchen, and we each had different favorites. There were three organic and three non-organic (inorganic?) beers represented. Contrary to my usual green side, I liked the three non-organics better. Ah well.

Rob’s Picks
• Shwarzbier – mmm, just right
• Pilsner – good hoppiness, light
• Helles Lager – good all-around lager, very drinkable

The Rest
• Organic Golden Ale – very bubbly, a bit too apple-y, kinda big for a golden
• Organic British IPA – okay, decent hoppiness but not so crisp
• Organic Amber – “clean, smooth” – yup. Not the most interesting, though.
