Atmosphere is great and they have a food truck parked out front if you are hungry. The only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5 was because they didn't have many beers I wanted to try. I tried the uncommon California common and really enjoyed it! I really like ipas and they only had one rye ipa on the list when we stopped by. We will be back for sure next time we r in town! read more

Nice atmosphere. Great sitting area outside. Very friendly staff. Husband didn't care much about the beer but he's super picky :) It's great to sit back and relax on a warm September day. read more

"Wander hall - stumble and loll! " I'm trying to come up with something coherent, but all I get is a bunch of rhymes..."Wander beer shakes my pier!" "Grab a Wander we shall banter!" Puns aside, they brew this beautiful, beautiful session beer Petite Monk. At 3.5% it is wonderfully complex with some spicy yeast, a bit marmalade and grain. You should order it. read more

Great beer and great atmosphere! So happy to see all of the welcome pups while enjoying a citrusy, hazy IPA (my fav).

Hard to give these places less than 4 stars. The beer is great, prices are really reasonable and the place is cool.. industrial old warehouse type thing. The hazy ipa was delish and the house ipa was very good. Didn't try the nitro ESB but will next time for sure. read more

Excellent, well crafted, full bodied ales. This is by far the best brewery in Bellingham with the most unique veriety of brews on the menu. Every beer I've had has been better then the next. Everything from their Coffee Porter to their Siason has been outstanding. After traveling through the west coast and clear through Germany, I can honestly say I have never been to a brewery with so many well crafted brews that I've enjoyed. I find that breweries tend to be good at one type of beer, but Wander is the exception: they are good at ALL types of beer. They do not have a kitchen, but they often have a food truck available for quick bites. All the food trucks they choose pair well with the ales they have, and are quick and tasty. The seating inside and outside is relaxed and enjoyable, with hand crafted wood tables. This makes Wander a great location for a chill afternoon, with friends, food, and good brews. read more

this place has it all - a great beer selection (the porter is perfect for fall and winter), a large outdoor area with a fire pit, and a food truck on site. so happy we stumbled upon it and will be back again. read more

Great beer and cider! Also enjoyed some pretty epic veggie nachos from the food truck vendor (sorry I didn't get their name). Good vibe, looking forward to going back. read more

Delicious!! Their Baltic Mutt Porter (can't quite remember the name) was fantastic. An amazing selection of unusual beers (sours, saisons, Bretts, California common, etc). I loved the sampler - good sizes & a great price ($10 for 5?). Free pretzels & indoor/outside seating. read more

As far as breweries go this place is typical, though still a great experience. The tasting area is located in the front of the warehouse with a large garage door that stays open for people to enter and exit, and a nice little outside area when the weather is nice. Food is served from a food truck where you pay, get a number, and take to your seat, and someone working probably from the truck delivers it. We weren't hungry, but the food smelled great. I ordered the Shoe Toss IPA and was very happy with that selection. I thought it was the perfect embodiment of what an Indian Pale Ale should be. I would come again, though my friend said it was uncharacteristically busy; Probably due to it being first Friday and a beautiful day. Not all who Wander are lost. read more

I tried Wander Brewing for the first time yesterday. Loved the beer and the atmosphere! It'll be one of my regular spots, for sure.

Great beer with great arts label! I kept the empty cans bc the arts are way cool & pretty.

Excellent craft beer establishment. I enjoy the darker beers and had the stout, porter, and belgian brown. I think I got the 2nd or 3rd pour on their opening day, Saturday, May 3rd, 2014. So good I came back the next day and had another porter and filled a growler. This is a beer only establishment, with root beer on tap for the kids. Food trucks outside a-la Kulshan. I did not have any food on Saturday, but on Sunday there was a bbq tent there and I had the falafal, of all things to get from a bbq! The falafal was excellent. "Danielle's Back East BBQ". GREAT ADDITION TO THE BELLINGHAM BREWERY SCENE! WELCOME TO BELLINGHAM!! read more

best beer! best service! Hope is amazing! I love all of their beers, really cool ambiance, awesome food trucks outside and kid friendly. Quite possibly my favorite brewery on Earth. read more

Wander Brewing - After ONE brew, i was a loyal reppin' sipper. - Breweries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Favorite beer in Bellingham, great build-out, fun merchandise. One drawback, the people working always seem put off that you are there. Having worked in the service industry for years, I can be pretty critical of that -- they are working for tips, after all, All in all, I love the place and will continue to go through the summer and bring my pooch in tow. There always seems to be a good vibe with all the other customers, too. Oh!! Great root beer, Wander! read more

New favorite brewery! I've been to over 70+ and this place produces stellar beer. I'm a lover of coffee beers that are not stouts and this was the best Coffee IPA I've ever had (my old favorite was from Bent Paddle). The California Common was delicious and the Farmhouse Ale on Chardonnay barrels was great (I preferred the tart berry version). read more

I had no idea that Bellingham was a place for breweries, but to my surprise this place was very delicious. They have such a great range of brews available and they also have a taco truck outside if you are having a food craving. All in all, this is certainly a place to stop in Bellingham if you haven't been here already. There is ample seating available made out of what would appear to be some hand crafted wood tables as a good amount of seating. The restrooms are very clean and you can see all of the machinery as you are sitting down in the brewery area. They have draft rootbeer for those who are the DDs or just allergic to alcohol. Great spot! read more

The atmosphere and beer here are fantastic! The location is a little odd to find the first time around but once you find it, you'll want to stay there awhile. We ordered a flight of beers and enjoyed their beautiful outdoor seating. If we're in the area again, we'll be sure to stop here! read more

First visit; been open almost a year, I think. But I don't live in B'ham. Very nice, flavorful, Belgian session beer : 3.5%. !! Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Nice space in interesting, old, heavy manufacturing building. Gorgeous brewery setup, all in full view. I will return !! (Love the plethora of fine breweries in B'ham) read more

Wander has a cool vibe. It sits back amongst warehouse buildings so it really is a "wander" to get there. The inside is on the larger side and you get to see the brewing tanks. Food truck outside was good too! They have decent beer and very cool schwag. read more

We love Wander for the beer, friendly staff and great atmosphere. They're doing a great job to keep the place clean and safe during Phase 2 - we popped in during a bike ride. I like the Uncommon Common or a Blonde when they have it. Great beer choices and food trucks. Seating inside and out. read more

Love the beer. Great sours! And I miss you Bellingham. This is one of the reasons I will move back in a couple of years.

Best beer in Bellingham. Great service with an amazing variety of handcrafted beers. Friendly dogs are welcome. Hell even kids can join in the fun. Big screen football when the hawks are playing. Bring your own food or grab a bite from one of the food trucks! It is a great place to unwind read more

Best beer in Bellingham! This brew hall has atmosphere with a groovy PNW vibe - don't be thrown off by the location. Community seating means you'll be sharing elbow space with other happy Bellinghamsters as you down one of Wander's carefully crafted beers and some awesome grub from a cast of rotating food trucks. Can't go wrong with the Uncommon California Common or the Shoe Toss IPA. Global Mutt Baltic Porter and Correspondent Foreign Extra Stout will get you through the winter. They almost always have a cider on a rotating tap for the gluten-free crowd, and they have growlers and bottles to go. Keep hitting it out of the park, Wander! read more

Visited on a Saturday night and it was busy but we still found a table. This fits in the category of "wild west" breweries for me (eclectic location in an old warehouse, picnic table seating, kids and dogs wandering around and a food truck outside). We stayed for a while and played cribbage - could have stayed all night if we didn't have dinner reservations! read more

Did a tour of Bellingham Breweries on Saturday February 24th. We had a Global Mutt, an Uncommon & a Shoe Toss, all 3 beers were exceptional! Like the old school microbrewery warehouse setting, a very relaxing & friendly place to suck-up a few pints! Will visit again on my next Bellingham visit. read more

Chad & Colleen (owners) have put together a great following in a short time. The brewery is hidden away a little bit, but not too far off the beaten path. It has an industrial feel with the huge ceilings and cranes hanging down, but that adds to the atmosphere. Great rotation of food trucks (not that this is news in the 'ham). Oh, I almost forgot - the beer! Fantastic beer with good variety in their core offerings (Shoe Toss, WA Uncommon and Global Mutt being some of my favorites) and great seasonals, to boot. Highly recommended. read more

Love the environment. The lady that helped us was very knowledgeable of beers they had on tap and all other kinds of beer. She gave great suggestions and loved that we sampled a few different kinds of beer. They had a good truck outside and a picnic table area, also dogs are allowed inside and there were probably five when we were there.! There were all different age groups here including kids. I wish I lived closer I want to make a trip back immediately.! read more

Great beer! Shoe Toss Rye IPA is my favorite, keep missing the Fresh Hop Ipa! Feels warm & friendly on a rainy day & sunny gathering outside in sunshine! Screens are only on for local sports & events, no politics! Did get a WABL stamp! read more

Really nice brewery with decent beers and an extensive seating area. Casual but inviting atmosphere for you and a friend or larger groups. Family friendly. read more

Favorite place for a beer in Bellingham. The porter is perfect. Just a little kick of coffee flavor with a smooth finish. I'm also into there Belgian beers. They have a blonde and brown that are both equally as good. Great outdoor seating and a different food truck each day. read more

Best IPA in town hands down. And everything else in on the mark too. The staff is great and it's a chill place to hang year round.

Far and away my favorite brewery in Bellingham and possibly anywhere. They have a wonderful always changing rotation of specialty beers which are so creative and never disappoint. I love that these beers are not your typical hop heavy NW style beers, there is lots of Belgian influence and old world style beer making (but of course they do have a few hop heavy beers). The staff is always very friendly and fast and I love being able to sit outside in the nice weather. Sunday is my favorite day to go when the Danielle's Back East BBQ food truck is there, great BBQ, hush puppies, and tons of homemade sauces. read more

This is one of the best places in town to get a beer and hang out with friends. With the open-space or the outdoor space, you're totally cool to come covered in sweat and/or mud and still be served. Because of this, plus the fact that they make some mean brews, Wander really encompasses what it means to be PNW. We like to bring guests here for a tasting flight/to soak in the atmosphere. They typically have a food-truck available, but I've totally brought some food from home and they didn't seem to mind. Good for dogs. Good for people. read more

Had friends up from Portland (beer snobs) and mount vernon (beer drinkers) and decided we'd try out a couple breweries. Went to Kulshan, Aslan, Wander and finished the weekend at Elizabeth Station for some take home variety. The weekend started out atrociously and finished wonderfully at Wander. Now, I am not a beer drinker. I am a fan of sours which I rarely find and get them bottled, but most beers I can't stand the flavor, bitter or too hoppy, my pallet just isn't accustomed to their flavor profiles and I never drank beer in college to get my taste buds going. So....I came to wander expecting the usual, this is gonna be gross for me. There were 6 of us and we ordered 3 samplers to share amongst the group and everyone picked their favorite. I'm not one to throw any beer knowledge around, but I will say this....Wander is now home to my favorite and my first!!!! Their Monk Table Beer has changed my world with regard to beer. Sure it's only 3.5% alcohol, sure it's what some call a beginner beer. I can't give you all the nuances of it's flavor profile, and I consider myself pretty good at that with food in general being an avid above average cook and baker, but I will tell you, it's delicious, and it's changed me. I came back last week, a solid 3 weeks later and hesitantly ordered a glass, thinking, was being with my friends and a plethora of beer a factor in me liking that beer? Was I just saying I liked it in front of them and will be totally gross now? Hell no, still delicious. Thank you Wander for creating a delicious beer, and according to my friends and husband, many delicious beers and the best in Bellingham. I am so excited I have found a brewery I will gladly go to with my husband and order myself a beer. read more

Wander Brewing - Monk Table Beer - Breweries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Pizza'zza is here tonight. Great pizza and a lot of it. Beer is always great at Wander. Plenty of different kinds. Quiet and relaxing.

Girlfriend and I came in for a beer flight - we're both semi-snobs (living in Denver, a craft beer capital) and we were super, super impressed. Nice laidback vibe, awesome beer, and a food truck. What more can you ask for?! read more

Outstanding beer & really well kept place. Came here after a short hike with the whole family and they really enjoyed the food truck pizza. Will definetly stop by anytime we are nearby & fill up our growlers. read more

Bellinghammer Wee Heavy, Common Uncommon, Pumpkin Ale, Millie Sours. . . I've never been disappointed. . . and that's sayin' somethin'. Most breweries take a while to work out the kinks - whether that's the decor, the waitstaff or the beer itself - not Wander. Pitch perfect from the beginning! I'm no beer aficionado, but I'm pretty sure these pints stack up for a cicerone! The atmosphere is typical of our breweries these days: warehouse/industrial/echoe-y with some outdoor seating near asphalt. Not awesome. Tall benches and tables that don't scream comfort. But, then, I'm older than the average crowd. Linger anyway. Weeknights are quiet and laid back and perfect for catching up. I love their friendly staff and low-key vibe! Bonus: Saturday night's food truck (Hwy. 542) has the best fries in the solarverse. Ohgod. read more

This is a really brewery to check out, lots of seating, huge variety of quality beers and it's really cozy. There's a food truck outside that will serve food inside the brewery in case you're hungry. I'm into lighter beers and really enjoyed the Belgian blonde. Of the heavier beers, I liked the stout on the back of the menu .. Sorry! Forget what it's called. Super fun time with friends read more
