We’re coming up on the 2nd annual Bellingham Beer Week (Septmber 20-29th) and this year…we’ve got the events stacked all day and all night.
Celebrate Bellingham’s craft beer scene with an entire week (+ 3 more days because one week isn’t long enough) dedicated soley to the love, exploration, and passion of Craft Brewing. Boundary Bay, and several of the other awesome breweries and pubs in town, are assembling together to give you 10 whole days of non-stop “ale-related” events. (AKA Disney Land for adults.) The possibilities of the potential events you can attend are overwhelming, so TAKE A GOOD LOOK at what might interest you — AND GET OUT AND ENJOY YOURSELVES!

Looking for a great local gift that will make YOU feel good too? Check out the HER Calendar that celebrates Whatcom County women that were nominated by the community AND benefits 12 local nonprofits! Last May, fifthonsixth – a local marketing agency – asked their Facebook community who the most beautiful and successful women in Whatcom County were.
They stressed that they were looking for women who were beautiful and successful inside and out. The response they got was overwhelming! Out of hundreds of answers, over 30 women were chosen to be featured in the calendar’s professional and classy black and white photos…including our very own Janet Lightner!
We had the pleasure of chatting with Christos and Anna, owners of the Old World Deli in Downtown Bellingham last Friday. Old World Deli is a true deli with an impressive selection of meats & cheeses that you can purchase by the pound as well as a staggering array of olives & extras. This place could be Foodie Heaven! You’ll find delights like orange prickly pear soda, black beluga lentils, capers in sea salt, Italian figs covered in dark chocolate, gluten free dark chocolate hazelnut cookies and multitudes of olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars.
And that list isn’t even really scratching the surface of the list of treasures to be found at Old World Deli! They serve breakfast paninis like brie and apple, Nutella or pancetta, fontina and egg as well as lunch or dinner paninis like grilled vegetable, chicken pesto, muffaletta and albacore tuna. They have soups and salads and cheese plates too! Check out the whole menu here.
Old World Deli has an incredible selection of wines that are separated by region and have whole shelves full of bottles uner $10.95. They also serve Boundary Bay Brewery beer and use our ESB to make their own bratwurst! They offer catering services, monthly wine tastings and even live music in their space (occasionally).
Anna and Christos like this eclectic approach to their business. They believe “…a deli is a meeting place where recipes, stories, shared experiences all revolves around how food has always been an integral part of families, friends & culture.” And they want to carry on that tradition…
