Evil IPA

IPA

6.66% ABV // 75 IBU // 14.5 P

pine + citrus + herbal

Collaboration brew with Evil Bikes

It doesn’t matter if it’s mountain, bike packing, touring, or commuting we’re just stoked to be on bikes! When the idea of brewing up a collab with our pals at EVIL came up, it was a no-brainer. We landed on a crystal clear IPA made for easy drinking while packing a mighty punch. An almost savory pine character dominates the aroma while citrus and herbal notes mingle throughout. Those characteristics transfer into the flavor and pair with a light mouthfeel and a smooth, drying carbonation. A perfect beer to pair with whichever form of biking you chose!

BKIND

HELLES

4.5% ABV // 20 IBU // 11.2 P

light + crisp + malt forward

Collaboration brew with Downtown Bellingham Partnership

B KIND is a campaign spearheaded by the Bellingham Downtown Partnership and in it’s essence it’s all about kindness and inclusion. We brewed this beer in collaboration with the BDP and we thought there was no better style to encompass those ideas than a Helles. This beer is easy drinking with a malt-forward presentation that is balanced with a restrained hop bitterness. Cracker, white bread malt characters give way to an herbal, citrussy, minerally hop profile. This beer is incredibly drinkable and designed to be consumed in a German beer hall, (if you can't find one, the Depot patio will suffice).

Hefeweizen

Hefeweizen

5.0% ABV // 40 IBU // 12.3 P

clove + tropical banana + lemon zest

It finally feels like summer! We can’t think of anything better than sipping on a cold, refreshing beer during a hot, sunny day. We have the perfect beer for such an occasion. Our ode to summer is a traditional German Hefeweizen that has been double decocted for a deeper malt profile. Traditional German yeast is paired with noble hops creating an expressive bouquet of lemon, herbs, and clove and tropical banana. This beer finishes with a lightly prickling carbonation that dries the palate and encourages another sip. Cheers to summer!

Rauch Bock Hell

Smoked Helles Bock

5.9% ABV // 25 IBU // 14.5 P

beechwood smoke + full bodied + smooth

*draft only*

SRauch Bock Hell is a smoked helles bock, created simply because it’s what our brew team wanted to drink this weekend to celebrate our 9th Anniversary. Beechwood-smoked malt creates a smoky flavor that’s undeniably the primary tasting note in this beer, but is well complemented by the rich and smooth characteristics of Vienna and Caramunich, lending to the ultimate balance in this malt-forward lager that we’ll be drinking all weekend long.

Purrsuasion

Pale Ale

5.3% ABV // 40 IBU // 12.3 P

citrus + tropical + light bodied

To celebrate our 9th Anniversary, we really had to ask our team… “what’s most important to us?” The answer was unanimous-- our cats. A fun representation of the 9 years of Aslan (or 9 lives!), this SMASH pale ale is as simple as a pale ale can get. Using a single malt (pilsner) and a single hop (HBC 586), Purrsuasion has notes of pineapple and mango on the aroma. On your first sip, you’ll immediately taste citrus, specifically grapefruit, all the while maintaining a soft mouthfeel. Purrsuasion is simple, easy and fun, and the perfect nod to our 9th year of making beer for the people. Plus all the kitties on the label are modeled off of our staff’s cats!

Collaboration brew with BottleWorks, Ponderosa Beer & Books, and Artivem Mead

What’s better than a low ABV dark lager on a sunny spring day? We don’t think there’s much better, which is why we are so happy to have Hive Mind on tap today! Brewed with our friends Artivem Mead, BottleWorks Beer, and Ponderosa Beer and Books, this dark lager was brewed with over 75 lbs of local honey to create a unique and enjoyable beverage! This beer is bursting with flavors and aromas of graham cracker, sweet sage, and (of course) honey. A lovely, clean lager finish helps showcase the more nuanced flavors that the honey has to offer!

Frauenbier

SCHWARZBIER

4.8% ABV // 30 IBU // 12 P

dark roast coffee + toffee + slight bitterness

Created by and dedicated to the women of Aslan.

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we’re bringing back a favorite amongst our staff, Frauenbier- a schwarzbier made in collaboration with the women on our staff. Frauenbier is a full-bodied dark lager, with notes of roasted toffee, dark roast coffee, and rich chocolate, all while maintaining the drinkability of a lager thanks to a low ABV. A slight bitterness rounds out the depth of the dark malts, and sweeter flavors, making this a beer that can do it all… just like the women of Aslan! We’re so grateful for the women on our staff who make Aslan, Aslan. Whether they’re pouring you a beer, working on the canning line, or planning events, (the list goes on!) we have a truly amazing team of women to thank for making Aslan a success.

Baya Gose

BAYA GOSE

4.5% ABV // 10 IBU // 10.5 P

sea salt + berry + coriander

We wanted to brew a beer with our new friends at the soon to be opened El Sueñito Brewing. We wanted to brew a beer with big flavors and a more "summery" feel. Baya Gose accomplishes just that, this beer leaves us dreaming of sunny summer days. With a blend of raspberries and strawberries, citrusy coriander and generous helping of sea salt, this beer is balanced and deep. No flavor over powers the others and the tartness blends with the prickly carbonation to dry the palate. Cheers to new friends and welcoming a new business to Bellingham.

Bloom

FRESH HOP IPA

6.5% ABV // 14.2 P // 80 IBU

pineapple juice + spicy + bitter

Bloom is our final fresh hop of the season and is a complete study of Chinook hops. We used 500 lbs of fresh Organic Chinook from our friends Roy Farms. The resulting beer has major pineapple juice vibes to go along with all of the piney and resinous characteristics. The massive hop bill pairs with a light carbonation that leads to a lingering bitterness and a drying mouthfeel.

Beer Of Choice

DRY-HOPPED PILSNER

5.5% ABV // 12.5 P // 30 IBU

honeydew + drying + snappy

Collaboration with Wander Brewing

Fourteen Whatcom county breweries came together to find a way to support reproductive rights. We crafted a plan to brew 5 unique beers, released in 5 consecutive weeks during the month of September, Sexual Health Awareness Month.  We got together with Wander Brewing to brew a tasty Dry Hopped Pilsner.

Pouring a bright, golden hay color, this pilsner is intentionally unfiltered to express the delicate, nuanced flavors that the hops and the dry hop presented. The hop bill enlisted the help of entirely American hops, Azacca, Chinook, El Dorado, and Strata being the stars of the show. A hint of cracker and white bread holds up flavors of honeydew and candied strawberries. A generous dry hop presents aromas of pineapple, grass, and a hint of mint.

All of the proceeds of this beer go to The Afiya Center.

We are so grateful to be surrounded by a community and other awesome breweries that wanted to help support something we are so passionate about.

Arcade Awakens

NW PALE ALE WITH COFFEE

5.3% ABV // 40 IBU // 12.3 P

coffee + easy drinking + earthy

*Draft Only*

You know that time of day where it’s just too late for an iced coffee, and too early for a beer? It’s a small window, but we wanted to create something for that time, and any time of day. After looking through our archives, it was time to bring back a retro pale ale from years ago… Arcade Dreams.

After adding the Big Bear blend from Bellingham Coffee Roasters, Arcade Awakens was born! The coffee provides a delicate roasted aroma, as well as a bitter earthiness, curbed by the perfect amount of acidity.

While the coffee is the star of the show, this pale ale maintains its classic notes of resin and pine, thanks to Centennial, Simcoe and Chinook. It’s a twist on a classic that’ll keep you buzzin’!

Heavily hopped with Eureka, Citra and Sabro, Cape Sundew is packed with fruit flavors ranging from stonefruit, to coconut and citrus, with the slightest amount of bitter resin. Deep in color and smooth on the palette thanks to the malted oats and Vienna malt, Cape Sundew delivers as a well-rounded, crushable double IPA perfect for all your late summer shenanigans

A blend of pilsner malt lends to both a crisp and complex flavor profile. Flavors of fresh dough and crackers are balanced with a subtle hop presence of honeysuckle and fresh cut grass— all combining with a quiet carbonation to create a thirst quenching beer for a hot summer day😎

This label was designed by Ivan Colin. Ivan drew inspiration from Mexican Talavera ceramic vases from his wedding that his father brought from Mexico. “I decided that I would honor my heritage, the style of the beer, as well as stay true to my style,” he said.
