USA, WA: Melvin Brewing opening a brewery in Washington

Melvin Brewing is opening a brewery in Washington, Seattlepi.com reported on May 31.

Jeremy Tofte, the owner and beer-loving visionary behind Melvin Brewing, is actually a Washington native. He was born in Mount Vernon and spent his formative youth shredding the slopes at Mount Baker. His love of snowboarding down mountains of dry powder is what led him to Jackson, Wyoming in the first place.

Melvin Brewing intends to open a new brewery and restaurant in Bellingham within the year.

They decided to open a brewery in Washington to keep up with demand and to re-establish Jeremy Tofte’s roots in the Seattle region. Jeremy grew up in a beer family, working for the family’s beer distribution company. Back in the day, he spent his youth loading trucks, repacking beer, delivering beer, and merchandising store shelves for breweries like Redhook, Pyramid, Grants, and Thomas Kemper. That’s when he became fascinated with craft beer and started home brewing at the age of 19.

Until the new brewery opens, Melvin Brewing will continue to establish its presence around Western Washington.
