Oh Stemma, you are just one of the best and favorite places in town! I've been a patron since you guys opened and have attended every anniversary since . During their anniversary, they brew a Pickle Seltzer which I LOVE and usually get 2 or 3 growlers of. The owners Jason and Kim are delightful and kind, and their staff is amazing! Year round favorite place to meet up with friends. **The only bad thing I can say is that sometimes it's soo busy that you can't find anywhere to sit, so you stand outside in the cold because this place is a favorite for the whole town!

The OG Stemma location is great for families! Food trucks make it a perfect weeknight meal. Service is always top notch - the crew is super friendly. Vibe is great - low key, not too loud, not too quiet.

Open tap room with three food trucks on site. This brewery came recommended from a couple previous stops. The covered patio was pretty full, a good sign. Parking was a little sparse for spaces. I forgot to ask our beertender who the cut out was of, see pics. I missed it when we arrived but as we left we noticed a lounge-ish area in the corner with comfortable chairs and a couch. I liked how open it was, perfect weather for it. I like color, so I liked the lime green walls. I didn't peruse it but noticed they had a merch area. All the tables were standard height, thanks. Thanks Stemma for the delicious beer in a comfortable tap room, cheers.

First, I think Stemma is one of the best of the very, very many breweries in Bellingham. And their original location on Moore Street has a number of food trucks, including Burnt Side Down that is pretty well known for their toasted cheese sandwiches. If I was going to be critical, I would just tell you is that their flight of 4x4 ounce beers which they charge $12 plus tax and tip seems on the high side but... maybe that's just me. Recommend... but don't forget their newer location at the old twin sisters location... That's a good place too.

Stopped to check out a few breweries in town while passing through and had heard a lot about Stemma! Super convenient too as it was right off 5 and had a nice little parking strip off the road. Beers: Conditus Lager Ammets IPA Oppan Dunkel Garden Party Hefeweizen I liked the vibe of this spot and they had three food trucks on site, three! It was a Tuesday, that's got to be a big win for them if that's the norm, as I've been to at this point 150+ breweries and that's a rarity. Lindsay is the beer tender on candid camera and she was so awesome! She was so nice, conversational, and attentive. She also hooked us up with a few recommendations of other places to check out in town. The beer itself I thought was solid. Standouts: The lager was a lemon and cayenne pepper with a nice heat to it. Hefeweizen had a solid banana to clove ratio. Only thing I'd change out of the grouping would have been more malt in the dunkel, but perhaps it fits the local palates best less sweet? Definitely recommend Stemma and hope you get Lindsay! Make sure you take care of her !

Great brewery just off the highway with a few food trucks on site! Stopped here on the way back to Portland from Canada and it was a great place to try a few beers and get some food. Big outdoor space and friendly staff.

Another stop on vacation! We were driving to Canada on our way from Seattle and Bellingham has it all. First stop there was Stemma. Lindsay the beer tender was so sweet and when we asked her fave brewery aside from here she grabbed a map and walked us through her favorites as well as other places in the area. The beers were tasty and they had a great variety. I really liked their conditus lager. Sweet and spicy! They have food trucks on site and for a weekday they seemed pretty steady. Both outdoor and indoor seating available. Very clean too!

Stemma was awesome! Great beers, food trucks outside, and dog friendly; what more could you ask for? The staff here were awesome, super helpful in picking out which beers to try. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Stemma is definitely now among our favorite breweries in Bellingham!

Stopped into Stemma specifically to try Sweet As Waffles! Waffles and beer, y'all! What could make it any better?!?!? Well, tiny dinosaurs and an otterlope, that's what! We both opted for sweet waffles - a Coconut Cascade, add toasted marshmallows, and a Baker Blast. Both were wonderful and paired nicely with Stemma's Pluitt Porter and Three Points Berey Smoothie Ale, respectively. The waffles are warm and crispy and not too sweet. The toppings are plentiful without overpowering the waffle. Nicely balanced!! Oh, and each is topped with a tiny dinosaur. (My only question is trying to figure out "who they are as an artist" (h/t American Idol)... how do you tie together "Sweet As Waffles", dinosaurs, and an Otterlope?... inquiring minds want to know!) Just keep making those waffles!!! Stemma is a great venue - nice outdoor space with shade and sun, and a roomy indoor area. Lots of tables to enjoy your waffle (or Mexican delights from Chihuahua). And, of course, Stemma has great beer across the styles as well as a selection of hard seltzers and ciders. And if you need dessert after your waffle, they also have West Coast Pops!

Disclaimer: not a beer person so probably not a good person to ask for a beer review. That being said I will tell you that I enjoyed my time at Stemma today. Never been and had always seen the sign off Iowa, so when the Bellingham Yelp Elite Ambassador ask me come and enjoy one of their beer on a Sunday afternoon, I said yes and when? First, love, love the quirkiness, bright colors, and artsy feel of their decor. From talking to other fellow yelpers there the location was once a auto repair and last a women's gym? And now its a bewery for the locals around. I ordered the Super Squeeze. Pleasantly surprise it taste like a mimosa. Perfect drink for a beautiful warm sunny Sunday on the patio with friends. Only giving it a 4.5 stars (if there was a half star) because I planned on coming back to try more of Stemma's beer option instead of just trying their seltzer and wine today. While there, I got to order Da G.O.A.T from the Sweet As Waffles food truck that was recently station at Stemma about 2 months ago? Check out my review under "Sweet As Waffles." Back to Stemma-- great place to grab a beer or two and chat the day away with friends. I saw dogs and even kids, so kid friendly(check) and dog friendly(check check). While I did read about a resident cat on previous Yelpers' reviews, I did not see him/her today. So they could possibly be cat friendly too? Thanks Stemma for good drinks and an enjoyable Sunday afternoon. Thanks to Erin for introducing me to Stemma. I can't wait to try more of Stemma's beer.

I've only been here a few times but every experience was a good one! The staff are always friendly and I never wait long for my drink. It's a great place to hang out with friends! I usually have ciders when I go out. I've noticed when I ask about ciders they have you sample their seltzer they make. It's not bad but it's not my kind of drink. There's been a good truck whenever I've gone. There is also a waffle place right next to Stemma. I haven't tried it yet but I really want to! I recommend this place!

We sought this out as part of the Bellingham Tap Trail. I was happy to find a new brewery I had not previously experienced in the Bellingham area. We showed up on a Sunday and it was pretty crowded, we were happy to have been able to find some street parking and almost opted to go elsewhere when we saw how all the nearby spots were filled up. We snagged a seat at the bar, it was a bit of a tight squeeze in and out of those seats. However the tap list was pretty great, the person behind the bar was super friendly and they had the cutest cat taking a nap in the brewing area. Everyone who walked by snapped a picture of it and I also didn't want to miss out. They had 4 IPAs on tap at the time, and we both opted to try one although I was also tempted by the Hazy. I had the Ammets IPA, intrigued by the hints of watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe, but can't recall which one my partner chose. Even though we had planned to just have one beer we soon realized that we had mistakenly overlooked the Conditus Lager which was a spiced beer with hints of lemon and cayenne. I'd definitely make this place a regular stop off if it was in my area.

Three cheers for another amazing new brewery in Bham! Stemma came onto the burgeoning beer scene this summer, and just happens to be the closest brewery to my house (danger danger). I'm in lovvvvve with their Amber ale, which isn't the easiest beer to find in this IPA-centric town. It's rich, malty, and complex with not too much (but just enough) hops to keep it interesting. I also love Stemma's light industrial, open-yet-welcoming vibe. They've got a nice bar to sit at if you're alone, and plenty of tables for groups large and small. In the corner is a cozy seating area with couches, and outside is a small beer garden for the sunnier days. If you go, be sure to keep an eye out for their brewery cats - including Zeus, quite possibly the world's cutest kitten. I'll confess I've been back twice recently, just to cuddle with him! (While enjoying my beer, of course.)
