Fremont Brewing (2019)

This is weird as two places in Vancouver had it on tap. Hell it lasted at Final Draft for a full week

 

Bridgetown Beerhouse put it on last Wednesday. It was still pouring as of yesterday.

 

Imperial bottle shop on Alberta got a couple cases of Brew3000 today if anyone is still looking.

 

How much was the cost of Brew 3k per bottle?

 

$25, with tax.

 

I saw it at $22 per bottle.

 

Ha, my comment was tongue in cheek... you said the most expensive place in town got some. Well, that's Green's Corner, lol. And I don't go there either, because of it. I've met the wife/owner a couple times as she does catering, and I flat out told her why I refuse to go into her business.

And most definitely about the pint. But I rarely have time to enjoy a pint anywhere as my 2 young kids keep me too damn busy with their sports/activities!?! Funny thing is, and I feel bad for forgetting your friends name who I met a while back, but I know his sister. She goes out to the Sudden Valley church and I just happened to see them together in line at Structures 2 weekends ago. They immediately left so I didn't get a chance to talk with them, but asked his sister why she was there and I learned they were bro and sister. You've probably met her, I guess she hits the breweries quite often too.

 

Probably Dan. And I forget her name as well.

And, GC isn't egregiously more expensive than the Store Who Shall Not Be Named, on most things. Whereas STSNBN, is overpriced on almost everything.

 

They probably aren't bad on more regular stuff, but they definitely jack the price on limited stuff that is popular like Fremont Bombers. Last Winter I gave them one last chance and called them when BBomb, or some other Fremont bomber just hit Bham and the owner said yes he has them... $30. Pfft... 40+% higher than standard retail. That's all I need to know... no thanks.

 

GC or ES?

 

I’m in Seattle for the day. Anywhere that I can grab a brew 3k draft pour around town?

 

It's very unlikely. The brewery itself ran out on tap about two or three days after release, and I haven't myself seen any mention of it being on tap around Seattle since. There seem to be scattered reports from Oregon. All the Untappd checkins recently seem to be from folks with bottles. Sorry about that.

 

I saw someone posting from Eureka in U-Village that they were having an on-site bottle; they tend to last there because you have to ask.

I remember randomly asking what they had last year and they had a 2014 Bourbon County; to offset the AB/In-Bev Purcahase we also got a bottle of B-Bomb lol

 

A friend just had a pour at Beer Authority, I believe.

 

Good spot, @jpbebeau. I see that Brew3000 is listed on their taplist at this very moment. Get yourself out to Lake City, @WolverineFan1243!

 

That would be me. The Shambles also has it on tap.

 

I thought that was your dad's pour.

 

Well yeah, but when you're family it's all good.

 

Tin Bucket has it but hasn't tapped it yet. I'd guess others do too.

 

Skagit Valley co-op has a shit ton of b-bomb coconut if someone up that way is still looking for it

 

And...., how would you know?

 

Being tulip season, you should plan on 90+ minutes. Any other time, hour is a bit on the long side. Especially once ya get clear of Everett/Marysville. Basically, Skookum-Farmstrong is a touch over a half-hour, given good conditions.

 

Granddaughter played Mount Vernon in tennis - and won 6-3, 6-0 by the way. Stopped in for lunch and what a surprise. I picked up one more for my cellar but you can have it John. I already have a few.

 

Brew 3000 bottles at new Seasons on SW Beav Hills Hwy. They must have received another box. Didnt buy any as im already sitting on 3.

 

I've seen it on tap a bunch of different places around town as well. Definitely not as hard to find on draft.

 

Rumor is a few high end bottle shops in the Pierce County and King County area have kegs of B3K. And are saving it for special occasions and one in particular is sharing it with people in the biz from what I heard.

 

I believe The Shambles has it on tap (at least they did last week). And you don’t have to a be a super special VIP to get a pour.

 

Ah The Shambles. I've been meaning to check it out for quite a while ever since Penguin and others talked about it several months ago. This might just be the excuse I need.

 

Just grabbed a can Fremonts BBW beer, a Helles. Will drink it and report back later.

 

I had a Helles at Fremont a while back, I’m guessing it’s the same beer, just now in cans. It was really nice.

 

My first reaction was puzzled excitement at the thought of a canned bourbon barleywine named Helles.

 

I have enjoyed the HFOD beers from Fremont over the last few years when my work schedule has allowed me to be in Seattle near a release. I will be up in Seattle on the 22nd, and was hoping to get my hands on some of the V11 released today. Does it typically sell out right away?

 

You should be fine, and if it’s gone at the brewery you’ll find it around town in stores.

 

The better stores. ftfy
