Bellingham Cider Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Bellingham WA)

At Bellingham Cider Company, the only thing more stubborn than the Pacific Northwest rain is their devotion to real apples. Every drop comes from 100 % Washington fruit, pressed into small‑batch ciders that contain no added sulfites, sugars or preservatives—so you get the pure bite of the orchard, not a laboratory concoction.

The lineup ranges from the cautious newcomer to the hardened aficionado. Their flagship, the award‑winning Gateway Hazy Hopped, manages to be hoppy without the bitter punch that usually follows, proving that a cider can be bold and polite at once. Seasonal experiments keep things lively; the current Raspberry Rhubarb blends tart fresh berries with dried rhubarb for a summer twist that feels more like a well‑timed punchline than a gimmick.

Food follows the same rulebook (or lack thereof). The menu draws on Northwest ingredients, offering a parade of unusual and vegan options that sit happily beside a glass of cider on the sunny patio, which overlooks a view that would make even a cynic pause. The décor screams ‘fiercely local’, a reminder that this isn’t a chain trying to sound artisanal—it simply is.
