Ok hands down my favorite brewery that I got to try in Bellingham ! At first I didn't see any available parking so I circled around. They had 3 food trucks available on day of my visit, but I had eaten already. The variety of food trucks is nice. We were promptly greeted by 2 staff. I had one of their hazy ipas and it was amazing. The inside was cozy and comfortable. They had bar seating, tables, and couches available. It all felt very welcoming. They had outside tables too, but it was raining. This location too had a ton of non alcoholic options too which is very inclusive. ( Sodas, kombucha, and even chocolate milk!) I saw signs for trivia too. Great spot! read more

Oh Stemma, you are just one of the best and favorite places in town! I've been a patron since you guys opened and have attended every anniversary since . During their anniversary, they brew a Pickle Seltzer which I LOVE and usually get 2 or 3 growlers of. The owners Jason and Kim are delightful and kind, and their staff is amazing! Year round favorite place to meet up with friends. **The only bad thing I can say is that sometimes it's soo busy that you can't find anywhere to sit, so you stand outside in the cold because this place is a favorite for the whole town! read more

Nice brewery with a large selection of brews and a slew of food trucks onsite. Spacious interior and exterior, so great for large groups and hanging out to enjoy the gorgeous weather (we admittedly hit it on a beautiful Spring day). I enjoyed the variety of brews on tap; any beer drinker should be able to find something to their taste. Dog friendly. Parking - easy street parking available read more

We're always brewery hopping on our trips. We saw Stemma and had to give it a try! Parking can be a hassle, so be warned. They have a lot of ips's for those IPA fans. Theres a huge selection of other drinks. The staff here is very friendly. read more

The OG Stemma location is great for families! Food trucks make it a perfect weeknight meal. Service is always top notch - the crew is super friendly. Vibe is great - low key, not too loud, not too quiet. read more

Stemma Brewing Co. - Stemma Pils -- some say it's Bellingham's best beer - Breweries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Open tap room with three food trucks on site. This brewery came recommended from a couple previous stops. The covered patio was pretty full, a good sign. Parking was a little sparse for spaces. I forgot to ask our beertender who the cut out was of, see pics. I missed it when we arrived but as we left we noticed a lounge-ish area in the corner with comfortable chairs and a couch. I liked how open it was, perfect weather for it. I like color, so I liked the lime green walls. I didn't peruse it but noticed they had a merch area. All the tables were standard height, thanks. Thanks Stemma for the delicious beer in a comfortable tap room, cheers. read more

First, I think Stemma is one of the best of the very, very many breweries in Bellingham. And their original location on Moore Street has a number of food trucks, including Burnt Side Down that is pretty well known for their toasted cheese sandwiches. If I was going to be critical, I would just tell you is that their flight of 4x4 ounce beers which they charge $12 plus tax and tip seems on the high side but... maybe that's just me. Recommend... but don't forget their newer location at the old twin sisters location... That's a good place too. read more

Stopped to check out a few breweries in town while passing through and had heard a lot about Stemma! Super convenient too as it was right off 5 and had a nice little parking strip off the road. Beers: Conditus Lager Ammets IPA Oppan Dunkel Garden Party Hefeweizen I liked the vibe of this spot and they had three food trucks on site, three! It was a Tuesday, that's got to be a big win for them if that's the norm, as I've been to at this point 150+ breweries and that's a rarity. Lindsay is the beer tender on candid camera and she was so awesome! She was so nice, conversational, and attentive. She also hooked us up with a few recommendations of other places to check out in town. The beer itself I thought was solid. Standouts: The lager was a lemon and cayenne pepper with a nice heat to it. Hefeweizen had a solid banana to clove ratio. Only thing I'd change out of the grouping would have been more malt in the dunkel, but perhaps it fits the local palates best less sweet? Definitely recommend Stemma and hope you get Lindsay! Make sure you take care of her ! read more

Great brewery just off the highway with a few food trucks on site! Stopped here on the way back to Portland from Canada and it was a great place to try a few beers and get some food. Big outdoor space and friendly staff. read more

Another stop on vacation! We were driving to Canada on our way from Seattle and Bellingham has it all. First stop there was Stemma. Lindsay the beer tender was so sweet and when we asked her fave brewery aside from here she grabbed a map and walked us through her favorites as well as other places in the area. The beers were tasty and they had a great variety. I really liked their conditus lager. Sweet and spicy! They have food trucks on site and for a weekday they seemed pretty steady. Both outdoor and indoor seating available. Very clean too! read more

We love both locations for different reasons. The original Stemma off auto-row, 2039 Moore St, is small, intimate and dog friendly. I am a big fan of their Super Squeeze Orange Guava seltzer. For bigger groups or on sunny days, we like to meet at the Stemma West location at 500 Carolina. This location includes their Riviera restaurant. Their salads, burgers and tots are great read more

OMG what so I adore best about Stemma ... their Conditus Lager - 5.O% ABV - this spicy lemon and cayenne lager will rock your socks off. If you're into beer with a bite give this one a try. Haven't found anyone else that's doing this. Have turned many folks onto this beer. I've tried their other non-IPA beers and enjoy those as well but the Conditus is my favorite. They have good food truck outside to add nutrition to the alcohol. And there are other food trucks and food options nearby. Service is good. Parking can be tough on sunny warm days, but if you can walk a bit no big deal. The interior has an industrial feel, not uncommon for modern breweries. It's an area favorite. read more

Most chill brewery in BHam imo. Food trucks all slap! Come drink and eat here! Service is chill and friendly.

Stopped into Stemma specifically to try Sweet As Waffles! Waffles and beer, y'all! What could make it any better?!?!? Well, tiny dinosaurs and an otterlope, that's what! We both opted for sweet waffles - a Coconut Cascade, add toasted marshmallows, and a Baker Blast. Both were wonderful and paired nicely with Stemma's Pluitt Porter and Three Points Berey Smoothie Ale, respectively. The waffles are warm and crispy and not too sweet. The toppings are plentiful without overpowering the waffle. Nicely balanced!! Oh, and each is topped with a tiny dinosaur. (My only question is trying to figure out "who they are as an artist" (h/t American Idol)... how do you tie together "Sweet As Waffles", dinosaurs, and an Otterlope?... inquiring minds want to know!) Just keep making those waffles!!! Stemma is a great venue - nice outdoor space with shade and sun, and a roomy indoor area. Lots of tables to enjoy your waffle (or Mexican delights from Chihuahua). And, of course, Stemma has great beer across the styles as well as a selection of hard seltzers and ciders. And if you need dessert after your waffle, they also have West Coast Pops! read more

Disclaimer: not a beer person so probably not a good person to ask for a beer review. That being said I will tell you that I enjoyed my time at Stemma today. Never been and had always seen the sign off Iowa, so when the Bellingham Yelp Elite Ambassador ask me come and enjoy one of their beer on a Sunday afternoon, I said yes and when? First, love, love the quirkiness, bright colors, and artsy feel of their decor. From talking to other fellow yelpers there the location was once a auto repair and last a women's gym? And now its a bewery for the locals around. I ordered the Super Squeeze. Pleasantly surprise it taste like a mimosa. Perfect drink for a beautiful warm sunny Sunday on the patio with friends. Only giving it a 4.5 stars (if there was a half star) because I planned on coming back to try more of Stemma's beer option instead of just trying their seltzer and wine today. While there, I got to order Da G.O.A.T from the Sweet As Waffles food truck that was recently station at Stemma about 2 months ago? Check out my review under "Sweet As Waffles." Back to Stemma-- great place to grab a beer or two and chat the day away with friends. I saw dogs and even kids, so kid friendly(check) and dog friendly(check check). While I did read about a resident cat on previous Yelpers' reviews, I did not see him/her today. So they could possibly be cat friendly too? Thanks Stemma for good drinks and an enjoyable Sunday afternoon. Thanks to Erin for introducing me to Stemma. I can't wait to try more of Stemma's beer. read more

I've only been here a few times but every experience was a good one! The staff are always friendly and I never wait long for my drink. It's a great place to hang out with friends! I usually have ciders when I go out. I've noticed when I ask about ciders they have you sample their seltzer they make. It's not bad but it's not my kind of drink. There's been a good truck whenever I've gone. There is also a waffle place right next to Stemma. I haven't tried it yet but I really want to! I recommend this place! read more

I happened upon this place actually looking for another venue . I am SO GLAD I did. What a great vibe the other patrons were so much fun and the food recommendation was top notch.

We sought this out as part of the Bellingham Tap Trail. I was happy to find a new brewery I had not previously experienced in the Bellingham area. We showed up on a Sunday and it was pretty crowded, we were happy to have been able to find some street parking and almost opted to go elsewhere when we saw how all the nearby spots were filled up. We snagged a seat at the bar, it was a bit of a tight squeeze in and out of those seats. However the tap list was pretty great, the person behind the bar was super friendly and they had the cutest cat taking a nap in the brewing area. Everyone who walked by snapped a picture of it and I also didn't want to miss out. They had 4 IPAs on tap at the time, and we both opted to try one although I was also tempted by the Hazy. I had the Ammets IPA, intrigued by the hints of watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe, but can't recall which one my partner chose. Even though we had planned to just have one beer we soon realized that we had mistakenly overlooked the Conditus Lager which was a spiced beer with hints of lemon and cayenne. I'd definitely make this place a regular stop off if it was in my area. read more

Three cheers for another amazing new brewery in Bham! Stemma came onto the burgeoning beer scene this summer, and just happens to be the closest brewery to my house (danger danger). I'm in lovvvvve with their Amber ale, which isn't the easiest beer to find in this IPA-centric town. It's rich, malty, and complex with not too much (but just enough) hops to keep it interesting. I also love Stemma's light industrial, open-yet-welcoming vibe. They've got a nice bar to sit at if you're alone, and plenty of tables for groups large and small. In the corner is a cozy seating area with couches, and outside is a small beer garden for the sunnier days. If you go, be sure to keep an eye out for their brewery cats - including Zeus, quite possibly the world's cutest kitten. I'll confess I've been back twice recently, just to cuddle with him! (While enjoying my beer, of course.) read more

The only issue I have with Stemma is there isn't one closer to my house in Bellevue! I have to drive all the way to Bellingham to enjoy this gem of a brewery. Who else routinely has smoothie beers? The banana slushie ale was delicious, and they even let me get it in a sampler size! The employees here were super friendly, and all of the beers were solid. Outside seating was delightful and they had a good taco truck out front. Next time I'm in Bellingham I'll be making it a point to visit Stemma again. read more

For somebody who likes iPAs, it's always a good sign when 7 out of 14 beers on the menu are iPAs. When on top of that they are tasty it makes it even better. Color me surprised when I discovered another beer that blew me away. Conditus Lager. Try it if you can. Some of their brews are available for takeout in normal 16oz cans, and for those that aren't (like the Conditus Lager) you can get in a 32 oz. crowler. The space is clean and modern with very quiet background music, so it's easy to have a conversation. Family and pet friendly to boot. They don't have their own food, but a food truck Mon-Sat, and a waffle place Thu-Sun. I enjoyed it, and I'll be back soon. read more

I really enjoyed Friday beers with colleagues. As a non-beer drinker, I had a very affordable ($3) 5oz super squeeze seltzer, which was fruity, crisp, and a little tart. I appreciate that unlike some other breweries in town, they had an in-house fruity seltzer option. I also liked the 2 food cart options, the waffles and mexican food truck, which were both affordable and complimented the overall chill vibe. While the parking situation can be tricky, especially during peak hours, I referenced the convenient parking map they had on the Stemma website. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking to hang out with beer, non-beer, and foodie friends! read more

Stopped on the way back to Seattle. It seems to be in the warehouse district of Bellingham if they had one. It was such a lovely day, the place is expansive - a lot of outdoor seating and plenty indoor too. I loved the cat mascot! And the fact that they had, what looked to be, actual employee cut outs around the space. For beer we got - Ready To Roll Grapefruit IPA, Stemma Pils, Stemma IPA, and POG. I will say with this place the title tells you everything you need to know. We did prefer the Pils and Stella IPA to the more adventurous options. They are just classic staples down well. Couple things to note - if it's a windy, dry day the wind my bring over some particulates, sawdust or something along those lines. They do have a space for multiple food trucks - when we were there there was a Latin place and another place that was closed. read more

Dogs....dog and more dogs! Cat logos....did I mention dogs?! Love this place, I walked in with my husband on a Friday evening and I was greeted by everyone's dog. I mean, some people might be annoyed, but I absolutely loved it. You can tell this place whole heartedly embraces pets and everyone knows it. If my dog wasn't a diva who didn't like other dogs, I'd bring her. There's also cats on the glasses, I mean. I'm sold. As for the beer and seltzer, delish. But to be honest, I'm going to come back for everyone's dogs. read more

About once every two years I am out in the area to visit my friend Jenna D. With every one of those visits is a stop at Stemma. They have continued to grow since my very first stop there. They now have three food trucks on site, BBQ, Mexican, and grilled cheese to complement their delicious beer offerings. Slightly more parking space was another observation this last trip as well. The brews obviously all different, but the quality of the beers still just as good as my other visits. Always a great, fun vibe! read more

Stemma is a new brewery that has emerged since I was last in Bellingham. I'm guessing about a year ago that was. Stemma proved to be a great stop as I was catching up trying new breweries, cideries and meaderies on this trip. I was instantly intrigued with the beer menu here and had my mind set on a lager. Well that made it just a bit harder. Now I had to try one lager first! Lol! They had a spiced lager which I decided to get and man oh man... that was a great beer! It had plenty of kick to it but didn't prove to be uncomfortable in heat either. Of course it was a lager and a lighter beer which is perfect on warm summer days. I really look forward to coming back here and trying more of their beers. If that lager was any indication of the rest of their beers being that good then Stemma will indeed continue to being a real treat for me and very likely a must stop whenever I'm visiting town! read more

Stemma is a favorite brewery. Never disappoints. We were there on opening weekend years ago & haven't stopped buying their great beer. You'll find Stemma offerings all over town - restaurants, bars & other breweries. This local, family owned place is SO worth your time. read more

I definitely, definitely need to update my review. The beer is super tasty and I do love the 0.3L serving size. They've expanded the beer menu quite a bit since their opening, and I daresay it's gotten much better. While I am still a huge fan of the amber, the various IPAs (especially the hazy) have been kicked up a notch. The food truck outside is a little on the spendy side, compared to other trucks that frequent other breweries. However, you are allowed to bring your own meals and snacks, so that's always an option. The service is still a bit on the slow and distracted side, but I have high hopes it will get better. If it improves with the same speed as the beer, I have no doubt it will be right up there with the other Bellingham staples. read more

What a wonderful place to go. The food trucks are awesome. I can take my dog inside. They always have dog treats for my dog. Great outdoor setting and beautiful inside setting. And also of course the best selection of IPAs in Bellingham. read more

Stemma is my new favorite brewery. They're working with some of the newer hops, like Talus and Sabro, as well as old favorites like Centennial, making exceptionally good IPAs. The service here is top-notch professional too. My first visit was on a rainy August day in the midst of the pandemic, so everyone sat outside. After getting my beer, bartender Zach followed me out with two big towels, which he used to dry off my table and four chairs (even though I was only going to sit in one of them). They care! Zach's still there, and still kicking butt. Bellingham's a tough place for a brewery to stand out, but Stemma certainly does. read more

During our oil change at Wilson Toyota we walked over here to give this place a try! And we absolutely loved it, the staff are really nice, I got a hazy ipa which was phenomenal. We ordered some hamburgers from the food truck and had their beer and sat outside and it was totally perfect. Would I come here again: yes, 100% Atmosphere: it's pretty cool, lots of indoor and some outdoor seating. Cleanliness: the place looked really clean! Bang for your buck: a pint cost me 6 bucks, but 2 hamburgers with chips were about 30 so not the cheapest, but not terrible. read more

Yay! There is another Brewery that is really tasty! My only complaint is most the beers are IPAs, but something that is amazing is that they all taste different. They also have a really great porter and a stout (it is on Nitro and I don't drink stouts), a lager and an Amber. So they had some choices if you don't drink IPAs. They also allow dogs and kids. I spent all weekend looking for a brewery with a caffeine free root beer and they have one. It was for my niece who can't have caffeine after a certain time. I wish I would have known about this place sooner. Lol They had a food truck called Franks? With grilled sammys. Next I will try the food. Also, the patio is big and so is the inside. It is so clean and the colors are easy on the eyes. The beer tenders are super nice too. I can not wait to come back. Maybe my new favorite spot?? read more
