Bellingham, WALocal News

Osbaldo Hernández and Dennis Ramey opened El Sueñito Brewing Company in Bellingham, WA, in early 2023, following a successful decade of selling tamales in Seattle. The couple, who are partners in both business and life, focus on creating an inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community through their brewery. They regularly host drag brunches and sell pride-themed merchandise, including their "Un Poco Gay" Hazy IPA. Hernández, who immigrated from Mexico in 2002, learned to make tamales from his mother, who sold them to support their undocumented family. The couple chose Bellingham for its affordability and outdoor activities, which they cherish as avid outdoorsmen.

Hernández noted the importance of celebrating queer identities beyond just Pride month. Their commitment to inclusivity has resonated with the community, as evidenced by positive feedback from patrons. El Sueñito Brewing Company represents a blend of cultural heritage and modern entrepreneurship, fostering a welcoming environment for all.
