Fremont Brewing
United States · built 2009
Fremont Brewing is a brewery located in the West Woodland area of the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States, with a taproom and beer garden located in the Fremont neighborhood. The brewery creates small-batch artisan beers and was founded in 2009 by Sara Nelson and Matt Lincecum. The production brewery in Ballard is among the largest in the city. Fremont Brewery is the third largest craft brewery in Washington state and the largest producer of barrel-aged beer in the state. The brewery distributes products in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Idaho, Colorado, Montana and California. Originally consisting of only a few tables in the brewery, the tasting room has expanded into a large beer garden with indoor and outdoor seating. In 2017, the brewery opened the Black Heron Project, which specializes in serving farmhouse and barrel-aged beers. An expanded brewing facility has opened in neighboring Ballard to meet demand. The increase to 250,000 barrels a year would put it among the top producing craft breweries in the United States. Fremont Brewing is named after the Fremont neighborhood in Seattle. The location of the urban beer garden on N 34th St. is in the Fremont neighborhood, which extends to Stone Way. Co-founder Sara Nelson was elected as a representative on the Brewers Association beginning February 2020 and will serve for three years.
