Fremont Brewing Company

 

Awesome. Came here on my trip to Seattle. Really cool taproom and cool merch. Service was great. Selection was awesome. I got a flight of five different beers. Really cool place. I read about this brewery in a beer book and glad I got to see it.

Finally made it here after years of looking forward to going once I made a trip to Seattle. And it met the lofty expectations. An expansive space inside and out with a large draft list, plenty of beer to carry out, lots of swag, and a food vendor. A bit disappointed that they didn’t have any special releases available but their staples are good enough and they had a few unique offerings like an Italian Pilsner. Patio is an actual beer garden with shared tables and lots of vegetation. Quite pleasant even on a hot day. Worth the trek and will return any time I’m in Seattle!

Near the water, with a decent view of a residential hill behind. Large patio outside, with two bars inside. Inside seating includes stepped bleachers. About a dozen tap selections. Cordial staff. Mellow and laid back.

 

 

Visited on a Wednesday evening, it was still quite crowded, took a while to find somewhere to park. Large outdoor patio area with water misters throughout the patio, plenty of indoor seating as well. They had two bars open, serving almost the same draft selection. Selection was ok, all of their year round beers, a few seasonals and one special release saison. I was sad to see that they didn't have a single BA beer on tap, considering that is what they are known for. It is in the middle of a fun neighborhood to explore with plenty of food options.

 

Huge area outside and tons of seating outside. Was a bit disappointed by the tap list. I was really surprised that there wasn't a single barrel-aged beer on tap. Most breweries that specialize in this sort of thing will almost always have one on tap. Otherwise it was a cool experience and the service was good.

 

 

Right by the ship canal in Fremont. There is a very ample amount of umbrellaed tables out front, with a big wall door that opens up to the interior. There is a little fire pit in the fairly small taproom. The interior is basic polished dark concrete flooring with varnished laminated wood benches. What one sees on the tap list wall are the standard styles of beer, but like Goose Island, in the background, there is a whole other operation, which is a comprehensive barrel aged imperial stout program.

 

 

 

 

This place is a perfect stop for any beer lover visiting Seattle. The ambiance is upbeat and welcoming to all, from brew hall newbies dipping their toes to craft connoisseurs hunting the unique and complex. Indoor seating consists of chalk board bleachers (where children are welcome to flex their artistic talents), lounge seating encircling a glass encased firepit, and some beer hall style tables. The beer garden outdoors is beautiful with plenty of tented beer hall tables and tower heaters in the colder seasons. Apples, pretzels, and water are free of charge, and patrons are encouraged to bring their own food. Water bowls are also available for tag along pups, and chances are you'll see a few on your visit. The staff is convivial, attentive, and helpful. They are happy to suggest a pour to your tastes from their extensive and eclectic offerings. With over a dozen high quality options, frequently including cask, barrel aged, and randalized beers, there is something for everyone. Stop in for a pint or two; you'll be happy you did.

 

Great spot to check out in the summer, as their outdoor seating area at the urban beer garden is pretty awesome. Great selection of beers on draft and two ordering areas within the tap room. Two coolers of two go options, and nice selection of merchandise. Nice spot to bring a group or some craft beer friends while in the Seattle area. Follow their Instagram to keep up with their limited bottle releases, which includes the best beers their produce.

 

 

 

My favorite brew venue in Seattle. Great atmosphere... sort of an outdoor/camping vibe going on here.

A great brewery and taproom in the heart of Seattle's Ballard/Fremont neighborhood, fairly basic beerhall type interior. Large interior seating area, nice exterior porch seating during the summer. Not much in the way of entertainment except discussing the beers. Kid and pet friendly.

A larger assortment (15 or so taps) of A-/A caliber brews covering a wide variety of styles. Regular offerings, seasonals and taproom only offerings, cans, bottles, crowlers, growler fills and kegs to go are available. Prices on cans/bottles, growlers and kegs are reasonable, service is very friendly and knowledgeable on their offerings. Free light snacks, rotating food trucks and menus from local eateries for you to order from.

One of the best breweries and taproom stops in Seattle, definitely worth stopping by, trying some fresh samples of some of Seattle's finest and picking up some beer to go. The one negative is parking in the area is hard to come by, so you might have to walk a ways.

This brewery has a wide selection of beers on draft and the beer is very high in quality. I visited during a barrel aged release party so the options were probably better than usual. To go options are also available.

Friendly service, but no table service this day and a long lineup mid-afternoon. Mixed on the brews available and my buddy less so. Nice place in front of the marina but bugs. Noisy place for young company teams to shout.

 

 

 

A neat spot that had tons of people. No food, but you can bring in food with you (I recommend going to Pie, about a 6 min. walk from the brewery!). Not very big, but lots of seating outdoors.

Nitro Dark Star was amazing! I also enjoyed Sky Kraken and Head Full of Dynamite. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.
