What Structures Brewing does
Structures Brewing is a privately held craft brewery founded in 2015 in Bellingham, Washington, by James Alexander, with Bryan Cardwell joining as co-owner and Production Manager in 2021. The company's core offering is a rotating portfolio of house-brewed craft beers anchored on hoppy ales and lagers — including flagships such as Fuzz IPA, Subterranean West Coast IPA, and Edel German Pilsner — with experimental depth in Imperial Stouts, Barleywines, and Smoothie Sours. Co-branded collaborations with external brands (Dru Bru, Hessian Wheelworks, Monolord) extend the lineup, and merchandise (apparel, hats, decals) is sold online and in-venue.
