E-Malt.com News article: USA, WA: Stones Throw Brewing Company to open in Bellingham, Washington

Bellingham is loaded with fantastic breweries. If a brewery was ever designed to fit right into the Fairhaven scene, Stones Throw Brewing Company is the one. The brewery’s residential-style setup and creative use of small space will make their patrons and neighbours alike feel right at home. Billing itself as “The Closest Pint to Adventure,” Stones Throw has the added advantage of being the only Bellingham brewery located in Fairhaven, WhatcomTalk reported on May 20.

Co-owner Tony Luciano is looking forward to their official opening in June or July. Like a lot of new breweries, they plan to start with the basics and the favourite.

Tony began brewing in 1998 after meeting the owner of what was then the Whatcom Brewery, on a ferry to Alaska. He joined him in brewing and learned rather quickly, brewing 10 kegs at a time. A few years ago Tony realized Fairhaven was his spot to make the dream a reality. “All the trails are here. It’s where I go crabbing, kayaking, and now, plan to run a brewery.”

Subdued Brewing Company is just getting off the ground. K2, Kulshan’s second location at 1538 Kentucky Ave. and Gruff Brewing at 104 E Maple downtown Bellingham both plan to open this year as well.
