Aslan Brewing Company

What Aslan Brewing Company does

Aslan Brewing Company is an independent craft brewery headquartered in Bellingham, Washington, that produces and sells certified organic beer through a multi-location taproom and wholesale model. Founded in 2012, the company operates five taproom/brewpub locations across Bellingham (Brewpub on N. Forest St., Depot on N. State St.) and Seattle (Fremont on N. 36th St., Tangletown on N. 56th St.), with a sixth Seattle location in Seward Park announced for 2026. Aslan is the only 100% organic craft brewery in the Pacific Northwest and a Certified B Corp, sourcing organic and Regenerative Organic Certified ingredients from local suppliers including Skagit Valley Malting, Yakima Chief Hops, and Roy Farms. The company notably produced the world's first Regenerative Organic Certified IPA in partnership with Patagonia Provisions, using Regenerative Organic Certified Kernza grain and Pilsner Malt, alongside flagship beers such as Batch 15 Hazy IPA, Disco Lemonade Berliner Weisse (Silver at the 2026 World Beer Cup), Dawn Patrol Pale Ale, and a rotating lineup of seasonal and collaboration brews.

The business operates across three primary revenue streams: on-premise taproom/brewpub sales (the largest segment by activity), wholesale beer distribution to restaurants, bars, and event organizers via a keg sales program with $50 keg and $20 party pump deposits, and e-commerce sales of branded merchandise and digital gift cards through the Toast Tab platform. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer first, with a community-driven marketing approach built around monthly nonprofit donation round-ups, cause-related beers (B Proud for LGBTQ+ youth via Northwest Youth Services, Say It Loud for BlackGirlsCode and the National Black Brewers Association, Earth To Beer for Washington Conservation Action), live music at the Depot, and cross-brewery collaborations. Distribution is regional Pacific Northwest, with a re-entry into Oregon through Upstanding Distribution and intercontinental collaborations (Bitburger in Germany, Nomcraft Brewing in Japan) signaling brand ambition beyond the local market. The company has 11-50 employees, is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, and is owned by its founders including Co-Founder Jack Lamb and led operationally by COO Layne Carter.

Direct peers

• Pelican Brewing Company: Pacific Northwest craft brewery with a taproom-driven, quality-focused brand comparable to Aslan. Overlaps in IPA/lager portfolio and PNW regional identity.
• Hopworks Urban Brewery: Portland-based B Corp certified organic craft brewery with multiple taproom locations. Closest peer on the organic + B Corp + multi-taproom positioning that defines Aslan's brand.
• Georgetown Brewing Company: Seattle craft brewery operating its own taproom and producing a comparable portfolio of IPAs, lagers, and sours. Comparable in size, geography, and on-premise/wholesale mix to Aslan's Seattle locations.
• Boundary Bay Brewery: Long-established Bellingham craft brewery with taproom and brewpub operations. Comparable footprint and direct competition for Bellingham craft consumers.
• Fremont Brewing: Seattle-based craft brewery with a taproom-driven model and similar regional PNW focus. Aslan shares the same neighborhood-level direct-to-consumer playbook and competes for overlapping taproom traffic and wholesale accounts in the Seattle market.
• Ecliptic Brewing: Portland craft brewery with a full-service taproom and diverse rotating lineup. Aslan has directly collaborated with Ecliptic (Leo Rising Porter), indicating peer-level product and community overlap.
• Wander Brewing: Bellingham craft brewery and direct local competitor for both on-premise taproom traffic and PNW wholesale accounts in Aslan's home market.

Broad incumbents

• Sierra Nevada Brewing: Major national craft brewery with sustainability credentials (including organic lines) and broad distribution. Represents the larger-scale incumbent that Aslan's organic positioning partially differentiates from.
• New Belgium Brewing: B Corp certified national craft brewer. Shares the B Corp + sustainability framing with Aslan but operates at national scale across multiple categories.
• Stone Brewing: Large, established craft brewer with a broad national portfolio and taprooms. Competes for the same craft consumer wallet but at much larger scale and broader geographic reach than Aslan.
