Wave Breaker: How Peter Marcus’ Legacy Continues To Help Youth Paddlers
Peter Marcus is a well-known name in the Bellingham community. From starting the Bellingham Rough Water Race (now Peter Marcus Rough Water Race), Paddle4Food Relay, and the Paddler’s Film Festival, racing in and being Chair of the Kayak Leg of Ski to Sea, and working with Bellingham Youth Paddlesports, Peter was a pillar of the Bellingham and greater PNW paddling communities. He used his love of the sport to help others and create positive change within these communities.
A year after his passing, friends of Peter came to us looking for a way to create a beer to honor Peter, and continue his legacy of giving back to his community. This resulted in the brewing of Wave Breaker Pale, in which a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the local non-profit, Bellingham Youth Paddlesports.

Utilizing the classic Cascade and Centennial hops blend, Wave Breaker Pale’s golden radiance glides over the taste buds with profound aromas of pine and grapefruit, and a subtle bready spiciness.
