Brewery Profile

Aslan Depot

In downtown Bellingham, the historic Union Depot building gives this Aslan Brewing venue a different role from a standard production taproom. The space occupies a 1916 former station built for interurban electric streetcars and motor buses, later repurposed by Aslan Brewing in 2018 for beer and community use. Visitors walking in should expect a 21+ bar setting rather than an all-ages restaurant. The focus is on organic brews from Aslan Brewing, with a wider drink list that also includes craft beer, cider, natural wine, and cocktails. Its place in the city’s beer scene is partly as a taproom and partly as an event venue, giving travelers a way to sample Aslan’s beer in a downtown historic space.

Travelers exploring beer in northwest Washington often look for taprooms that combine regional craft brewing with a casual social setting, and this stop fits that pattern without being limited to beer alone. The organic beer program is the core draw, but the presence of cider, natural wine, and cocktails makes it workable for mixed groups with different drinking preferences. New York-style pizza is available for dine-in or takeout, so the visit can be a quick pint and slice or a longer evening. Live music is part of the regular rhythm here, with events on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the Depot also hosts beer-related and community gatherings during the year.

For planning purposes, the Depot is best approached as an adult taproom and event space in downtown Bellingham. Because the drink selection may change, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours and any current cider, wine, or cocktail options. Visitors interested in music or community programming should check the current event schedule, especially for Tuesday and Friday performances. Pizza service adds a practical food option on site, including takeout for those not staying long. The building’s history is part of the visit, but the present-day experience is straightforward: Aslan Brewing’s organic beers, a broader bar menu, casual food, and periodic events in a repurposed downtown depot.
