Now you can have a beer brewed on premise AND get married at the same time in Bellingham, WA. The North Fork Brewery offers not only a brewery, but also a “Beer Shrine” and wedding chapel! This from the HuffingtonPost:
We entered the wood-paneled house with stained-glass windows and saw a woman pouring beers, making jokes with customers and doing a few dance moves as she deftly moved behind the bar. North Fork Brewery definitely had the everybody-knows-your-name Cheers ambience (rustic logger style), but if this was a wedding chapel in Bellingham, what was the minister like?
Come to find out, the lively barwoman was the minister. Meet Vicki Savage, who has owned North Fork since 1997 with her husband, Sandy. We started talking to her about the 13 beers brew master Eric Jorgensen brews in rotation onsite, and which wood-fired pizza she recommended. Vicky's energy was radiant and irreverent, an ideal minister for an unorthodox matrimony.
"We wanted to be more than just a pizza and beer pub. We considered adding a kim-chi tasting room, a shoeshine shop, a CD factory or a beer museum. Then my husband I settled on a wedding chapel to complete the North Fork Brewery road-side attraction," Vicki says.
