OPENINGS
Aslan Brewing
Craft beer nerds, rejoice: The highly anticipated Fremont taproom from the Bellingham-based craft brewery Aslan Brewing opened this weekend. The new location will serve hearty sandwiches from cured-meat mainstay Salumi and enable wider access to seasonal offerings, barrel projects, and specialty can releases. A new restaurant serving seafood called Local Tide is set to open in the same building later on, and the acclaimed Korean restaurant Revel, which is temporarily taking up residence in South Lake Union, will re-open there too.
