FAQ

How long have you been here? We opened on July 17, 2006.

Are you open year round? Yes! Believe it or not, we have the business to sustain us during the winter. We may not be quite as busy as we are during the summer, but people are always out and about. Not to mention our awesome regulars that also keep us going!

Did this used to be Birdsview Burgers? Nope, that’s another few miles up the road.

What’s the best beer? What WE think is the best beer, might not be what YOU think is the best beer. If you tell us what kind of beer you like, we can steer you towards something we have that you will like.

What do you have like a Bud Light? NOTHING! We want our beer to be delicious and flavorful. Our lightest beer is the Pilsner, but it is much tastier than a domestic light beer.

Where do you make the beer? We make all of the beer on site, in the brew room at the back of the building. We only carry our own beer, plus a guest cider.  

How big is your system? We have 7 barrel system, which makes about 200 gallons of beer per batch.

How long does it take to make beer? From brew day until the day it is ready to come out on tap is generally around 30 days.

Why do you only fill growlers with certain beers? Our top priority is for our customers to be able to come here and drink all of the beer we make, at any given time. If we filled growlers with all the beers all the time, we would run out of several beers before they were ready after brewing them again. It is more important to us to have all of our beers available for consumption in-house, than have them available for take-away. And no, you can’t pay extra to get the Ditsy Blonde in a growler, and no, you can’t buy four pints and pour it into your growler.

Where else can I find your beer? Our distributor is Walton Beverage, and they distribute our beer throughout Skagit, Whatcom, Island, and San Juan counties. It gets difficult to pinpoint where our beer is on any given day, because most places have rotating taps. Our website offers a list of all the places that carry our beer periodically. We are usually always on tap at Porterhouse Pub, Roundtable Pizza, Railroad Pub & Pizza, the Hub, Lone Star, Village Pizza, Rockport Pub, Slo Pitch Grill & Casino, Bullpen Bar & Grill, Local 20, and Double Barrel BBQ.
