A flight of beers from Kulshan Brewing served on a cute Washington state shaped platter. Located in Bellingham, Kulshan is a great spot to grab a beer, chill on their awesome patio and listen to live music. They have rotating food trucks outside or you can bring food from elsewhere and eat there. Bonus: Trader Joes is a block away so you can load up on snacks, grab a table and some beers at Kulshan and hang out! #beer #bellingham #america
