Notes: Fremont Brewing was born of our love for our home and history as well as the desire to prove that beer made with the finest local ingredients – organic when possible – is not the wave of the future but the doorway to beer's history. Starting a brewery in the midst of the Great Recession is clearly an act of passion. We invite you to come along with us and enjoy that passion … Because Beer Matters.
We are a family-owned craft brewery founded in 2009 to brew small-batch artisan beers made with the best local ingredients we can find ... Because Beer Matters!

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.

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.

One of my favorite places for beer period. Like the folks here and love the beer. They serve donuts and coffee for those inline on release days, my biggest wish is that their location had some good food. But I come back again and again for the brews!
