Beach Cat Brewing nears opening date at new location on Bellingham Waterfront

Bellingham, WALocal News

Beach Cat Brewing is set to open a new location on the Bellingham waterfront in 2025, marking a significant expansion for the popular brewery. The new facility will feature an indoor-outdoor layout and 16 taps, significantly increasing production capacity from seven to thirty kegs per brew. Owners Jake Gobeille and Darin Hamm highlighted the importance of offering a variety of beverages to meet customer preferences, including hard seltzer and non-alcoholic options. Gobeille takes pride in the reclaimed wood bar, sourced from a decommissioned music stage, which aligns with their sustainable theme. As the brewery has grown in popularity since 2020, the demand for diverse drink options has also increased.

Gobeille expressed gratitude to the Beach Cat team, friends, and family for their support in building the brand. The brewery is still finalizing preparations for the new location and has not set an exact opening date. For updates, patrons can visit the brewery's website.
