    Firstly, the music selection is amazing if you like metal. Nice variety of very quality beers. They have a smattering of styles. The do not have flights, but will do 10oz pours. Also the space can be a little tight, but the beer is great! The girl pouring at the front was very nice and welcoming! Great place, check it out!

    Visiting Bellingham for the first time and I'm fascinated how awesome this city is. They have so many breweries and restaurants in their downtown area. After I finish my tourist places and etc, it's time to grab an ice cold beer! This was the first brewery I stopped by. It's a great spot, I decided to give them a try. Good vibe when I walk in. They are not really busy nor slow, so it was a decent crowd. I was really surprised by how cheap the drinks are over here in Bellingham!!! Like 16oz for like $4-5. What could go wrong with that price? I forgot the drink that I had but it was refreshing taste, there was a bit of lemon to it too. I do like light beer. Service is friendly and is very welcoming for the visitor. Explaining their history and etc. I will definitely head back there again when I'm in town. I do have to mention is that the washroom is dark haha. I'm never a fan of dark and gloomy places. Should light the washroom up mang!!!

    Structures was #1 on my list, to try on our Bellingham Beercation. And let me tell you, it didn't disappoint! This was stop #2 on our beer tour. We were sad that they didn't offer samplers, HOWEVER.... they do schooners (10oz pours) for $4!! That is insanely cheap! I mean some breweries charge $3 for a 5 oz sampler! They are really on to something here! My husband and I love beer, so when we do brew tours we like to stick to samples so we can try a lot and not get toooo hammered. But we each had 2 schooners so we basically had just over a pint! Structures had a few New England styles on their tap list. They were delicious! They also had a brown that I really enjoyed. Great little spot for beers in Bellingham. (It is little, and PACKED!) I loved Structures! In all of our beer stops (5 all together) Structures has the best beer, by far in the B-Ham area!

    This was one of our stops when we were trying to hit all of the breweries in Bellingham. It was not in my favorites but by no means was bad. Most breweries in Bellingham are pretty good, but there are so many great ones that it takes a lot to stand out. One of the reasons why I did not care for it as much, but why my girlfriend and many others might like it, is because of the huge focus on IPAs. The majority were either IPAs or double IPAs and even had a triple IPA coming in soon. If you are really into IPAs, this is the place for you, but did not have as many other options. Other than that, it seemed like a good place. The atmosphere was pretty decent and I really like their logo and beer barrel seating. The seating style was pretty cool, but I was sitting in the corner and had to squeeze past people a lot. (Its a small place so the seating can be a bit cramped.) Also I believe they only take cash, though the prices are good so that is not too bad. Pros - Good IPAs - Good selection of IPAs - Cool seating - Good prices Cons - A bit cramped - Not many other beer options - Cash only (I believe)

    Came here on a Monday afternoon after reading the other rave reviews. Got a pale ale and my wife tried the saison. Overall, I wasn't incredibly impressed with the beer selection nor taste. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad! It's just not on par with Aslan or Wander. Pretty small joint, limited seating, scream-o type music. Nicely decorated though, felt like a repurposed garage. All in all, I wouldn't say don't go here. I just wouldn't put it at the top of your list with the countless options this town offers!

    A nice and relatively new addition to the Bellingham craft brewery scene. Loved that 6 of the 9 beers they had on tap were IPAs and also that their tasting room was a more intimate affair, more in line with the tasting rooms in Vancouver and with a food truck out front. Structures is located in downtown Bellingham, a stones throw from Aslan and several other craft breweries. I sampled their Juice on Juice double IPA (8.6%) and enjoyed the flavours. Would have liked to sample a few more of their IPAs but they are not equipped to do tasters / samplers. It was a positive craft beer experience and happy to recommend Structures Brewing.

    I can't say enough good things about these guys. Seriously, no matter how many good things I say about them, it won't be enough. At this point, you have about five more minutes before it'll be impossible to say you made it in before they got discovered and completely overrun. It might actually be too late for that already. Word moves pretty fast these days. They've taken over a small garage-like space with a large rollup door, in the middle of what B'Ham can call its main business district. They're on State Street, with some potential for street parking, and a parking lot next door that you enter from the other side of the block. Make sure to bring cash. They're young hippie idealists, or something, and do not accept electronic payments from your advanced capitalist society. UPDATE: As of May 2016, they have succumbed to the realities of modern living, and will accept your filthy plastic credit card as a form of payment. Inside, there are a couple of pieces of wood serving as tables, and then a few old oaken barrels serving as other tables. There are not really any tables serving as tables, but that's okay. I'm a table, you're a table. We can all get along. There are some basic little metal stools, and there's a bathroom that they probably had to build themselves. There's some rough half-inch pine lumber on the walls. It looks very finished, but they're not messing around trying to convince anyone that this is a lavishly-appointed taproom. It's a clean and organized place to drink delicious beer. There are 6 taps, all available to take home as growlers. You can order beers in various sizes to get a sense for what you want. You can buy glasses or t-shirts. But what really matters here is the beer, without a doubt. They're making special stuff--not because nobody else could make them, but because some of them are somewhat difficult to make this well, and they make everything really well--the more-common styles as well as the more specialized stuff. The prices are reasonable, and they're still, at this point, doing everything themselves. They brew, they do everything during the week, and then they man the taps and the cash register when they open the doors. It's a great place and I hope to get to try dozens more beers from them. Can't wait to see them distributed in Seattle.

    I have always enjoyed the beer from Structures and was excited to finally come to their brewery. At the time, they had their City of Solace Hazy IPA, which has been one of my favorite beers from Structures Brewing. I enjoyed the inside of the brewery with the exposed brick and they had a decent amount of tables with seats. We were also able to bring our dog inside, which is always a plus, to me. I can't wait for my next trip to Bellingham, Structures Brewing is definitely at the top of my beer list in the area.

    Structures is tied for first for my fave brewery in town - a tough choice in this town! The beer is never a let down, the flavors and the styles are always on point. There's always fun art on the walls and the vibe is not a bore.

    Structures is, for me, the missing puzzle piece in the burgeoning Bellingham beer scene. The owners somehow found their way to Bellingham from the East Coast, and are cranking out amazing versions of craft beer that are not found anywhere else in our area. Their IPA's, for example, are not the typical hop bomb of your West Coast IPA's, but are low in IBU's, delicious and refreshing. Lately, they've been swinging out with some more out-of-the-way offerings. The growler of Blackberry IPA that I recently bought for a camping trip to the San Juan Islands was one of the more creative and imaginative brews that I've come across this summer. Some of my other favorites include the Empress DIPA, which is phenomenal, and the juicy and delicious Splash is low on bitterness but maxes out on the refreshing scale. I have yet to be disappointed with any of the beers I've enjoyed at this wonderful establishment.

    I love structures. The vibe, the building, and the beer is the best we've found in Bham for IPA's as far as we have yet to discover. We knew they'd be solid when we saw a Hill farmstead bottle on their shelf! Like ok they "know what's up" ! as east coasters with the best IPA's from breweries such as alchemist , tree house, Lawson's, long trail... list goes on, this place makes us feel like we are at a brewery back east.

    I'd rate this place 3.5 stars, all things considered. (Rounding to 4 because I can't imagine giving…read morethis view a 3 star!) To me the biggest pro is the location and views! The outdoor patio is sprawling with space! Tons of outdoor seating and quite a bit inside as well (for the rainy days I suppose!) Although every time I have visited (sunny days!) there were people sitting inside and I am not sure why anyone would choose to sit inside on a beautiful day!! I digress. The annoying thing about the patio, the music was on what felt like, volume level 7 out of 10. It was blaring. I could not hear my friend speaking to me across the table. While I totally dug the music selection, it was way too loud to have a conversation. The speakers are on like every other post so there was no getting away from it. At one point I did ask them if they could turn it down a few notches. (I apologized and said "with risk of sounding like a Karen or an old lady, but it is so loud and I cannot hear across the table). She laughed said no problem and she could turn it down a little. (Funny inside it was like on volume level 4, but outside it was blasting!) The beer is decent, also about 3.5/5. For me the star of the show is the location and the view. The food truck out front the last time we went (January 2026) was Indian fare. It was honestly terrible. Looked like cat food (how fitting). Probably had a total of 3 pieces of chicken in my tikka masala. I would recommend avoiding that truck entirely. It was a thumbs down for all 4 people in our group.
