Washington breweries Kulshan and North Fork collaborate to release Plank Brothers NW Pilsner.

22 miles. That’s the approximate distance between Washington’s North Fork Brewing and Kulshan Brewery. One from Deming and the other Bellingham, one day the breweries collectively joined forces to create a unique exhibition of cooperation and what a Northwest Pilsner means to the region. 

Brewed with rarely seen hops, Ariana, Saphir, Belma, and Lotus; Plank Brothers NW Pilsner will waken your palate with notes of spice, floral bouquets, fruity citrus, and red berries. Besides these aromas and flavors, the beer has a definite crispness that will work well with almost any holiday side dish or main course; you look forward to this holiday season.

Or as the brewers put it, 

Whether you ride on one plank or two, this beer is here to celebrate fresh pow and comradery out on the mountain. Raise a can to fresh tracks, big smiles, and all your plank brothers and sisters!

Look for this 5.2% ABV, 32 IBU, fun sipper on draft and in cans throughout Western Washington or at your local Kulshan or North Fork Brewing Company. 

Kulshan Brewery is located at 1538 Kentucky Street and 2238 James Street in Bellingham, Washington. North Fork Brewery is located at 6186 Mt Baker Highway on your way to Mount Baker.

About Kulshan Brewery

Founded in 2012 by Bellingham native David Vitt, they are one of the fastest-growing breweries in Whatcom County, highly regarded for making delicious and well-balanced ales and lagers. Just one year after opening, they doubled the size of the brewhouse to 15 barrels in order to keep up with demand. In 2015 they opened a second brewery in the Roosevelt neighborhood, affectionately named “K2,” in Bellingham with a 30-barrel brewhouse. They have a strong following for their extensive line of award-winning beers.

About North Fork Brewery

The North Fork Brewery produces beer in the time-honored, time-intensive style of British Ales, Barrel-aged Belgian style Sours and Lagers, light and black. Our small batches (109 gallons) are hand transferred from fermentation to conditioning and on to serving tanks or oak barrels where they are served directly in our tap room, ensuring a fresh pint every pint.

Our pub is just a short drive from Bellingham on Scenic Mt. Baker Highway 542. Whether snowboarding, skiing, eagle watching, hiking or sightseeing, we’re a quick jog from the Canadian Border and a not-so-quick, yet scenic pilgrimage from Seattle.
