Aslan Brewing Company celebrates 10th anniversary

Aslan Brewing, a local brewery with two Bellingham restaurants and taprooms, is celebrating its 10 year anniversary, according to an email from the brewery.

“No matter how much Aslan has evolved over the last ten years, it remains a launchpad for community growth. That is a source of immense pride for me. We continue to provide a stage for advocacy and a safe space for employees, all while brewing organic beer when no one else dares to. The real magic, however, is in the fun of it all. It’s hard to replicate an Aslan party. I am so grateful for the creative minds that have passed through this organization and shaped who we are today,” Jack Lamb, co-owner wrote in a news release.

Aslan will celebrate its anniversary at both Bellingham locations Saturday, May 18 with live music, a DJ, the Bellingham Circus Guild, face painting and drink specials. For a complete schedule of the celebration, visit the brewery’s website.

The Aslan Depot is at 1322 N. State St., and The Aslan Brewpub is at 1330 N Forest St. in Bellingham.
