It’s been a long time coming but Chuckanut Brewery is excited to announce that cans of Chuckanut beer are heading out to distributors and accounts as of January 9, 2025! The first beers will be the flagship Chuckanut Pilsner and Chuckanut Kolsch. This step is a culmination of a three year plus project that’s been on-going at Chuckanut Brewery at the Port of Skagit. The brewery building was more than doubled in size in the last two years.

After completion larger fermentation tanks were added and a Belgian washer/filler kegging machine was installed with a robotic arm. The six-head Codi canner from Colorado was set up the first of 2025 and Chuckanut’s brew crew has been busy filling cans since. Chuckanut Pilsner and Kolsch will go to distributors in the northwest counties of WA state (Dickerson Distributing), the Seattle-Tacoma region (NW Beverages), over to Spokane (Odom East) and Vancouver, WA (Craig Stein Beverages) and the greater Portland area and Oregon (Day One Distributors).

Once the crew becomes comfortable with the canning machine Chuckanut will begin adding a seasonal lager to the flagship beers. Later fall and winter will be Japanese Style Lager (an Asian style rice lager), Mexican Style Lager (light and crisp) for spring/summer and Fest Bier (the Oktoberfest favorite) for late summer/early fall. Hopefully small batch beers will be canned when time and supplies allow but that will be later. This is good news for all the Chuckanut fans as up to this point the cans were only available at Chuckanut’s outlets and a few select Co-Ops and bottle shops. Draft Chuckanut will still be available in more styles at draft accounts all around WA and OR.

The last step in the expansion at Chuckanut Brewery in Skagit is to hook up the small 10bbl system that was previously installed in the original Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen in Bellingham. That system was in storage and has slowly been reinstalled in the newly expanded space at the Port of Skagit. Once that is complete the system will be used for small batches and brewery collaborations with friends of Chuckanut. Stay tuned to social media and beer news for that completion, for now enjoy cans of Chuckanut wherever you might go whether on the water, in the forest, in the mountains or in the warmth of your home!

Chuckanut Brewery is no stranger to receiving medals at the World Beer Cup competition. The World Beer Cup is organized by the Brewers Association and held in a different location in the USA during the Craft Brewers Conference. The event was held every other year since its inception in 1996 but has shifted to a yearly competition starting 2022. This year’s competition was held in Nashville, TN with 272 international judges blind tasting 10,213 beers from 2,376 breweries across the world. Chuckanut Munich Style Helles Lager won Bronze in the Helles category along with 201 other entries. This is Chuckanut Helles’ first World Beer Cup Award although it has won 3 GABF (Great American Beer Festival also run by the Brewers Association) medals (2 Gold and 1 Silver) in the past.

Chuckanut Helles Lager has a well-developed bready flavor that rewards the drinker with sublime balance and a subtle elegant maltiness. Brewed with a gentle, sure touch, Helles Lager is the “got to” beer all day long! Excellent with any seafood, salad or lighter meat dishes for a real treat! Available at various accounts around WA and OR in draft. And occasionally for sale in cans at both P. Nut and South Nut locations.
