Bainbridge Brewing Celebrates 3rd Anniversary with Taproom Party Plus New Logo and Bottled Beers

Bainbridge Brewing is proud to announce its 3rd Anniversary with a two-day celebration on June 12-13 at the brewery’s taproom on Bainbridge Island, WA near Seattle. Coinciding with the celebration is the debut of the brewery’s brand-new logo and long awaited release of its first widely available bottled beers.

The brewery’s anniversary celebration will feature a full lineup of Bainbridge beers, including rare beers from its cellar, and the release of its 3rd Anniversary Ale. Bainbridge's 3rd Anniversary Ale (9.5% ABV) is an intense Whiskey Barrel-Aged Doppelbock, with a complex malt and whiskey character. “Anniversary beers should be something outside the norm, something that pushes you. This year we wanted to make something difficult, something we’ve never brewed before - a really big lager. And we decided to barrel-age it, which is rare for a beer like this,” said Brewmaster and Co-Founder Russell Everett. The beer will be available in a limited edition 3rd Anniversary commemorative glass at the brewery’s two-day event.

Both days will include live music by local bands, including Rye and Barley (Irish Celtic) on Friday and Luau Cinder (Funk Rock) on Saturday. Food will be available from local vendors The Dog Wagon on Friday, and B.I. BBQ on Saturday.

The brewery’s anniversary coincides with the brewery's long awaited release of its beer in 22 oz. bottles. The brewery’s initial bottle releases include its two most popular beers: Eagle Harbor IPA and Kommuter Kolsch. In addition, there will be a limited release of its 3rd Anniversary Ale in individually hand numbered, signed, and wax-dipped bottles. Additional bottled beers from Bainbridge will be released in the months to come, including Downrigger Double IPA.

In conjunction with the bottle release, the brewery took this opportunity to refine its overall branding and to introduce a new logo, prominently featured on all of its bottles. Bainbridge Brewing’s logo has taken on a distinctive modern look with a stylized ferry boat that is unique to the Puget Sound. The new brewery logo is also reminiscent of a hop cone or a stalk of barley. "I think craft beer drinkers will quickly come to like it and identify it with Bainbridge beer,” said Russell.
