Brewery Profile

Bastion Brewing Company

For visitors exploring Anacortes’ beer options, Bastion Brewing Company presents itself as a working brewpub rather than a small tasting counter. The facility sits off Highway 20 and is arranged for people who may be stopping briefly or settling in for a meal. On arrival, guests find indoor seating, an outdoor patio, a food ordering counter, and a separate brewery room where beer and other drinks are served. The setup makes the brewing side visible without removing the casual feel of a restaurant. Its place in the local beer scene is tied to that combination: house-brewed beer, a full kitchen, and enough seating to function as a gathering spot for families, travelers, and regulars.

Travelers in this part of Washington often look for a brewery that can cover different tastes in one stop, especially when groups include beer drinkers, non-beer drinkers, and children. Bastion’s tap list is described as broad, with lighter ales, lagers, multiple IPAs, red ales, and dark beers, along with cider and wine options. The food program leans toward BBQ and burgers, with menu items such as brisket dips, pit-smoked wings, and mac and cheese served through a fast-casual counter model. Visitors interested in the brewing process may have a chance to talk with head brewers Jeremy and Lance, who are often visible during scheduled brewing days on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Brewery tours are also part of the visitor experience, though the taproom is the place to confirm timing and availability.

Practical details make Bastion straightforward for mixed groups. The brewery is family-friendly, with kids’ meals and non-alcoholic choices, and it is also dog-friendly. Outdoor seating gives guests another option when weather and space allow, while the full kitchen supports longer visits than a standard tasting room might. Because the building separates food ordering from the brewery room, first-time visitors should expect to order meals at the dedicated counter and get beverages from the bar area. The tasting room is the best place to confirm the day’s beer lineup, cider or wine availability, tour details, and any current seating guidance for dogs or families.
