Fremont Brewing from Seattle was founded in 2009 as a family-owned brewery by Matt Lincecum and Sara Nelson, with the motto “Beer Matters”. From humble beginnings, the brewery has grown into the third-largest craft brewery in Washington State and is especially recognized as the region’s leading producer of barrel-aged beers.

Their main taproom has become a beloved community gathering place, while the Fremont West production facility in Ballard serves as a hub for innovation and large-scale brewing. Beers such as Universale Pale Ale and Interurban IPA quickly gained popularity, while seasonal and experimental releases from the Black Heron Project showcase their commitment to exploring new styles.

Beyond quality, Fremont stands out for its continuous support of the community, investment in local resources, and engagement with consumers through events and special releases. Their approach blends technical precision, innovation, and a strong sense of local identity.

Today, Fremont Brewing is a symbol of Seattle’s craft beer movement and a prime example of a brewery that continues to grow while remaining true to its philosophy of sustainability and community.
