Great spot for gatherings of friends. Dog friendly, great service. My favorite is the Fruited Apero - Raspberry or Blueberry . Next fave is the Kolsch . Many options for seating inside and outside . They just recently got a shuffleboard , and that's always fun! Their food options is limited to a Pretzel, but they have a delicious food truck that is open most days . read more

This brewery, IMHO, is Bellingham's finest! We love to come to K2 for the variety on tap. Today we are treated to the 2022 Kitten Mitten launch!! The Coffee Kitten Mittens Nitro is amazing and the Spicy Kitten is a delightful variant. Come here. Drink beer. Leave happy! read more

A happening place with amazing fresh hop ale. Can't wait for my smash burger from Get Smashed. read more

Great place to watch baseball and drink beer. Generally good service. Rustic ambience that a lot of dudes with beards seem to like.

Love the K2 location! They have both indoor and outdoor seating with a food truck in the outdoor area. The beer is yummy and the service is great. They also have a nice selection of to-go beer. For anyone that you come with that does not drink beer, wine is available. Can't wait to go back. :-) read more

This is one of my regular places. I like the atmosphere. It's a great place to hang out with friends. The cider I had was lavender black currant cider. It was delicious! I love the taste of lavender but it wasn't too forward with the flavor. There are usually only a few cider choices. That's the only real downside of this place. But my friends that drink beer always seem to find something they like. There has always been a food truck available whenever I've visited so you can enjoy some food with your beverage of choice. I've also noticed that there are several people that stop by just to buy beer to take home. If you check out their fridge you will find some drinks to choose from, including some non-alcoholic beverages. read more

Always a good choice. Large selection of beers, clothing, and cans. The staff are always great and friendly. I love the inside with the bent metal supports on the tables. read more

Oh, Apero....how I love thee. So happy to have it on draft! Service was excellent and Carve food truck nachos were sublime with at sauce! read more

Kulshan Brewing - K2 - Can't go wrong with an Apero. - Breweries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Your experience will depend upon which bartender you get, so I recommend avoiding Wednesday afternoons. I've enjoyed this location many, many times over the years, but when a bartender approaches to take your order and doesn't say a word and looks at you silently as if you're scum with their hand hovering over the POS tablet, I suggest heading for the exit before you're tempted to ask, "am I not even worth a greeting"? read more

My wife and I were fortunate enough to have visited the original Kulshan Brewing operation on the day that it opened. I believe that our shared view of the brewery was that this was going to bring something wonderful to Bellingham. Our vision turned out to be correct. At the K2 facility, Dave and his talented staff have moved the majority of their production brewery to the new location. This has provided even more opportunities for amazing beer in our fair city. All of the Kulshan standards are still available here at this gorgeous tasting room - Bastard Kat, Red Cap Red, Good Ol' Boy, and their stout. But along with it are a number of new beers that the second facility has allowed them to create and offer to beer-loving patrons. The tasting room itself reflects all of the wish list items that the owners garnered from the original location. There's plenty of seating, both at individual tables and at the long wooden bar; and the far wall is lined with fridges full of cold canned beer and growlers waiting to be adopted by loving homes. And near the top of the wish list are the nicest bathrooms of any brewery around. K2 is a great add to the Bham beer scene. read more

I'll admit it: I was a little skeptical when I heard that Kulshan Brewery was opening up a second location just a mile or so away from its flagship establishment on James Street. Don't get me wrong - I love Kulshan and their beer, and a second location made sense, it just seemed odd that it was so close to the first. Well, I was wrong! Now that I've visited "K2" a few times I realize what the vision was for opening it, and I LIKE IT! It's hard to believe that just turning a couple of corners and going under a freeway can cause such a different vibe in a brewery's location, but this is just what is happening at K2. While "K1" is more of a neighborhood joint, with families and dogs and bicycles everywhere, "K2" is a little more urban...a little more blue collar...a little more (for Bellingham, at least) on the edgy side. The tasting room itself is large and comfortable (and, blissfully, air conditioned). There's a long counter and plenty of taps offering Kulshan's greatest, from the immortal Bastard Kat IPA to the stalwart Dude Man Wheat to the smooth-drinking Kulshan Red (plus several other faves) you will find something here to suit your beer palate. They also have large coolers full of grab-and-go growlers - just like "K1." There are lots of tables around the room, a nice selection of Kulshan gear, and HUGE bathrooms (if you've ever waited in the long lines at K1, you will LOVE this place)! There's also some really neat local art hanging on the various walls that make a great conversation piece while you're sipping your beer. Food-wise, K2 offers the classic Kulshan menu of either peanuts or pretzels. Thankfully there's usually a food truck to be found here in the afternoon and evening hours! They also recently added a beer garden, albeit a smaller one than the other location. Still, it's a nice place to sit on a warm afternoon. The biggest change that you'll find at K2, though, is that it's a 21-and-over establishment. So if you're bringing the little ones along, you'll need to go to K1 and save K2 for date night! read more

Kulshan Brewing - K2 - Mountain Beaver Brown... love it! - Breweries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

This is the second Kulshan location located in Bellingham and I actually liked it quite a bit better. The windows are wide open and spacious and lets in lots of light. The beer quality is good and is consistent with the first location. At the K2 location I ordered the Transporter Porter and shared it with Steven. It had a nice, warming feel for the the somewhat chipper Spring day. Nice location and good beer! read more

Their older sister, Kulshan, may have a grand location, but K2 avoids the busy street hype and indulges in the most INCREDIBLE specialty beers on tap. Their rotating menu is always sure to evoke longing and the folks there are more than happy to allow tastes of all. Bourbon barrel aged nitro's called my heard and did not disappoint. They have various rotating events happening through the week- such as trivia and specialty performances. Food trucks abound, and you'll never be hungry if you need a bite. Make sure you're not parking at another local business while sipping your brew. There are sneaky yellow lines around the area- but parking is free! Fun, cool factor decor with lots of wood, and yes, TV's for games! You'll definitely enjoy the whole experience. read more

Seriously would like a full pint. I have had this happen more than once. Over an inch of foam on my "pint". Not busy, not in a hurry, beertender couldn't be bothered. ** I recieved a reply asking why I wouldn't just ask for another beer, well, this is not the first time. I have asked and I have been given another beer, or they topped it off. My frustration comes from this being a common occurrence. Seems like a small issue, just a bit more attention to detail and customer service. I love the beers, that is why I come back, but I shouldn't have to ask for a proper pour. ***So I went back, had the same issue, ordered a second beer, ask her to take her time, I was in no hurry and I knew the nitro took a bit to settle. Take your time to give it a proper pour. Still the same. Such tasty beer, but sad at the less than pint. read more

Kulshan Brewing - K2 - Seriously......so much foam! - Breweries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Super fun brewery with a great atmosphere. I've attended several events at K2 including trivia night and yoga. I have yet to be disappointed by the service and beverage availability. There are often food trucks set up with delicious food options. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Parking can get pretty ridiculous. If you're attending an event, come early. A nice bike rack is available for use. read more

This was my first visit to K2. The interior was warm and inviting with a pretty Christmas tree twinkling in the corner. We went on a Thursday around 7pm. There were no lines and we received fast friendly service. Had the Cask Porter. At first he thought something was wrong with the keg as the beer was on the warmer and flatter side. We mentioned this to the waitress who told us that this special cast beer is ment to be enjoyed around room temperature and has very little carbonation. He ended up having 3 of them. He would have liked them to be cooler, but nevertheless still enjoyed the flavor. I had a bottle of the Finn River habanero hard cider. It was perfectly chilled and delicious. They had an abundance of beer on tap and a full cooler too. This brewery does not serve food but they do have rotating food trucks. Tonight they had a cuban truck there serving up delicious sandwiches. If you are in the area definitely stop by and give them a try. ****************************************************** If you like this review, please give it a thumbs up and follow me for more reviews.

Kulshan Brewing - K2 - Celebrating the start of the Weeknd. - Breweries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

It took me a while, but I finally went to K2. I used to go to Kulshan at the main location, but it was so busy I rarely got a good seat and didn't like sitting outside in the rain. K2 is a good bit bigger (maybe not) but on this visit I sat outside on a quiet Sunday evening. K2 is on Kentucky Street and it's a pretty quiet location. The bar is fairly large though I did not check out all of the seating. They have large coolers with lots of beer available for sale, to go. I've had growlers filled here, it's fairly accessible and easy to stop by on my way home. Kulshan Beer is top notch, they have quite a few beers here on tap, lots of local choices. But like everyplace else in Bellingham, you better like the Ales! I'm grateful they have a Belgian blonde on tap. This place is super chill, it's enough off the beaten path that I think a lot of people feel more comfortable coming here and just taking a seat in a quiet corner. There's usually a food truck out in the parking lot, so there are food options, but they do vary. I have not tried any of the food here, but I think it's great that it's available. read more

K2 is such a perfect location for me...literally steps away from my office. It's a perfect location for a casual business meeting. One of several food trucks alternate setting up in the parking lot. Their beer on tap is truly very very good. And it's easy to grab a growler and bring it home as well. It's always busy and festive in the late afternoons...but not too crowded. Seems just right. The service is always helpful and friendly. read more

This place is just neat. Generally, it seems to be a local's only place; away from the hubbub of downtown chic, it's truly an everyman's establishment. Staff is usually very chill. Regarding cleanliness, everything seems especially sterile and spacious. No kitchen onsite, but they almost always seem to have a food truck in the side lot and they have beer+food discounts. Outdoor seating available, pups ok outside. Big glass walls let you see the brewing in action and if you're there on the right day, the whole place wafts hops breezes so you really feel like you're experiencing part of the brewing process. #nerdalert read more

My favorite brewery house in all of bellingham. The setting is just right, and the tap selection always has a good mix. They don't make you feel stupid for trying different beers, which is a nice thing. Great selection of IPAs. Typically you find one of the many food trucks in the adjacent parking lot, or just get some pretzels for a bug! read more

Very pleasant beer. Ipa's are nice and hoppy. I had a real socal vibe when tasting these beers

First thing I saw walking up to the door was a Philly Cheese steak food truck. Sorry, I am from the Philly area and can't get my self to try out of the area cheese steaks! Ordered one IPA hazy which was fine. read more

These guys are efficient and super friendly with the new covid rules. They have it down. Beer was excellent. The food truck that day was Hot Mess Phillys and it was SO GOOD. read more

It was like a Chuckie Cheese in there today. I stopped going to K1 to avoid dogs and kids. Great beer, need to stay as an adult getaway. BTW, i don't live in SF, I live in Bellingham and i told this to Yelp. U usually avoid YELP, they stink, but need to get the message out read more

Kulshan is a great spot to go with your friends or girlfriend/wife/side chick and enjoy good locally made award winning beer! We absolutely love the seasonal raspberry gose, and you can never go wrong with any of their ipas! I think Kulshan red is one of the best reds I've ever had:) so thanks guys! read more

We came late and missed the food truck. beers were delectable! Will return to try out the food, they have a different truck everyday. There was also a trivia night going on. read more

Great beer great atmosphere. Plus you can bring your pups outside and let them join in on the fun

Only went to this location so can't compare. Large taproom with outdoor seating. Parking can be limited depending on where the food truck sets up shop. Staff was very responsive & friendly. I love the selection of games - including zombie cribbage! We tried the sampler. The Russian Stout was fantastic and so was the Bastard Kat but some of their beers tasted a little flat. We got there right at opening but after 20 or so minutes the place really started to fill up. read more

Beer was the tits. Did a stein holdings contest, lost but had a blast doing it. Staff was steller, vibes were solid, and beer was dreamy. Be back next weekend. read more

I much prefer location to over location one! Pros? Less busy Comfortable seating Open atmosphere Delicious beer Food truck that rotates Cons? Some of the staff need to be versed in beer so they can understand what they're selling better read more

This place is awesome. Great big taproom. The beer is always great. I recommend the Pale Ale. Its kind of in a working mans area of town. Great after work spot in the center of town. Its my new go to being i work 100 feet away. Great food trucks park in the parking lot too. I like Streat Food on Tuesdays and the Salmon dog from Kermit Dogs on Wednesdays is great. Give it a shot. read more

Kulshan Brewing - K2 - Breweries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Normally one of my favorites places. Happy people. Good beer. Good food trucks. But today... Disappointed today #KulshanBrewingCo. Went to K2 and your attendant was more interested in getting names and phone numbers for something personal rather than helping customers. Kinda tough to leave a tip for a $6 drink. Was going to order another but decided against due to service. It would also be nice to have fewer IPA's. I know Bellingham is a hipster IPA Meca but come on! Do you really need to brew 7 different IPA's with often 3 of them year round? read more

Kulshan 2 offers a slightly different experience than the Sunnyland. The space is open and airy, but there are not as many restaurants within walking distance. Luckily, the food trucks keep our tummies filled with tasty treats. There are TVs and tables of various sizes: Something for everyone. As always, Redcap Ale, Transporter and Kitten Mittens remain my top three beers. Cheers! read more

Really solid beers - these people know what they're doing. Nicely done bar, good music playing subtly in the background so that you can still have a conversation. I dig it. read more

My office away from the office (is just across the street). Not a beer afficionado so can't address the brews. They're all good to me, I just ask for a recommendation from the BT. Food trucks main attraction. 542 best, delicious mischief close second, arrest fud next. Simmerings tava not my cup of tea or kombucha. Needed: kombucha in cooler. I don't drink beer at lunch, soda never, si Cary 3 types kombucha. read more

Discovered this on a recent visit to Bellingham and loved everything about it. As you would expect, great beers and a broad selection, including nice hoppy IPA's. Nice dog-friendly patio for sunny days. Friendly helpful wait staff and good food truck service. read more

Best microbrewry in bham by a long shot... But...never show up drunk because in the off chance you throw your keys behind the bar you wont get them back with out a good freind that will come in to represent your soberness. Trust me it happened. I couldnt beleive such a cool person would take my keys after throwing them at her. It was weird. Any way just wanted to give everyone the heads up. If your way too drunk dont go to kulshan. read more

I love K2 but it takes them for ever to serve you a beer. You could honestly sit at the bar for 30 minutes and they won't even notice you. To focused on washing glasses and staring off into space. It's annoying but great beer great atmosphere. That's the only reason I can't give them 5 read more

This off the beaten path place is a winner. Unlike the original Kulshan, this place is normally less crowded. Great beer and always a food truck outside, it's a wonderful place for a pint and some great food. They also have tv's to watch the game. read more

I love IPA's and Kulshan's Bastard Cat is the best in Bellingham, WA! K2 is a beautiful tasting room with friendly staff and rotating food trucks. Treat yourself to a sampler or grab a growler to go! read more
