First time having their beers at their brewing. I tried to go there a few years back and it was way too busy. Even though this time we still ended up waiting about 45 minutes there was space for us to wait comfortably. The outdoor seating was well spaced out. The beer was refreshing and good. Price was reasonable. The staff polite and friendly. Brought our takeout and had a good time drinking, eating and talking story. Street parking can be challenging but we lucked out. Worth checking out. read more

Absolutely obsessed with this place. Such an amazing area, atmosphere, and view. Just an overall happy place to be. Also many children around so not just a fun place for adults. Ordered a virgin drink while my dad ordered a couple beers. They were both delicious and were quite inexpensive. They also had a station where you could grab yourself some free pretzels and apples. There was even a keg with a sign that said "high quality h2o" which gave me a laugh. Overall a great place to get some beers and A LOT of free pretzels. read more

Fremont Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Favorite brewery! Beers, atmosphere, location, and staff! Dog and kid friendly. Always my must-stop when I visit Seattle!

tl;dr: solid brewery near the waterfront. Can be pretty crowded on a nice day. Get the sampler for only $8ish for your first time and you get to try 5 different beer! Bring food if you are not into pretzels --------------- I work nearby and this has been our go-to place after work to grab drinks with the coworkers. There are always 10+ beers on tap from IPAs to sour beer. Free pretzels for you to munch on and apples if you are lucky. Sadly they don't serve food BUT you can bring food in and literally have an indoor picnic if you want. It's a very dog and family friendly place O.o. You can see parents drinking while their kids roaming around. Not that I mind but I just find it a bit odd. Oh and bike parking right in front of the entrance! read more

Fremont Brewing - Love the pint glass!! - Breweries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great beer, Bad service. Though 30 minutes left before closing, Staff clearly did not want to be there.

Such an awesome brewery to get into that's dog friendly and has a great patio for the summer months. Pretzels are provided and brews are a good price. Housemade soda is also available to those that don't drink! The soda that day was strawberry, ultra refreshing for a hot day. read more

I have been to about 30 breweries and I haven't come across a concept of a fixed set of beers per flight. The idea behind buying a flight is to choose and try different beers and not force customers to try a fixed set of beers. If I'm not a stout person, I still have to pay for it. It is so pissing off because one of the reasons people go to a brewery and not a bar is to try different beers. While Fremont brewing has got all the glory from Washingtonians how amazing it is, I'm not even gonna compare it to the Northeast breweries I have been to. For a brewery that is supposed to be one of the best around Seattle, FBC is a big letdown. The thing is about beers is that It doesn't have to be amazing. Just try brewing a decent one. I mean the golden pilsner and Giovanni pilsner were basically the same beer. Lush IPA was not lush enough. Most of the beers (including the stupid stout on tap which was forcefully added to the flight) gave all the aroma and hype at the first sip and were flat after you gulp it. No, I'm not asking for a Kolch experience. Just a good beer. The 2 beers which were decent were the Ollie IPA and summer pale ale. Thank god. They got something right!! FBC, if you want to improve customer experience, the first thing is to let people choose what they want in a flight. It's not rocket science for your staff to provide different combinations. I'm rather okay to hear that there are flights no more because of COVID. Second, maybe get your beers some long-lasting flavours or get something going in the brewery like live music or serve longer hours or throw in some freshly baked pretzels. The "beer garden" is nice, but most breweries have outdoor seating anyway. I have been to okay breweries where I drank the same amber ale just because they had outdoor seating with fire when it's chilly and amazing live music all year long (yes, during snowy winters). Good luck to Washingtonians who rave about this brewery. In the words of Ygritte "You know nothing, Jon Snow". read more

I love this beer garden! Fremont has reliably solid beers and a great space to hang out and drink beers.

The beer is decent, atmosphere acceptable, wait staff friendly! Food could be much re plentiful...

Beautiful little brewery with plenty of outdoor seating. The COVID precautions are top notch and well enforced with assigned seating-- they spaced out all the tables and benches as well. read more

Came on a Saturday evening before dinner. Place was pretty crowded for that time. Nice outdoor space and indoor space. Dog friendly. Good variety of beers. Fireplace available for those cold days.

Loved this spot! After visiting the Fremont troll my friends and I walked down to this brewery. It's such a nice spot with a great vibe to it.

Came here during my last visit to Seattle to kill some time. I had a flght of IPAs. Don't remember the names, but they were all enjoyable. They have free pretzels, which is always a plus. The atmosphere is really chill and open, definitely a good date night place, but still a good place to just grab a beer and enjoy the evening. read more

Happy to see Fremont is back after COVID shutdown. We put our name in and waited 90 minutes for a table, but that's no big deal. Got to sit outside on a beautiful day and enjoy the beer. read more

Fremont Brewing is the coolest place for my California Native self. Offering both indoor and outdoor seating, this brewery is a comfy place to catch up with friends, try some great beer, and have a good time. I stumbled upon this place as it was selected for a social event in my class. Since it has both outdoor and indoor seating, the outdoor seating is more suitable for larger groups like ours. They have long picnic style tables outside surrounded by shrubs to give you an inclusive feel. While you drink and chat away, they also offer free pretzels to munch on during your stay! That was a big plus since they do not offer any food items for sale. Other than the amazing atmosphere, I would have to say that the service here was great. I was able to both sample and order beers with the friendly staff who made me feel comfortable being at the brewery. Since this is about a 6 minute car ride from my place, I'll definitely be back for more beer! :) read more

I LOVE ME SOME BEER!!! Can't go wrong with my go to lush IPA :) I also tried the Mountain Daisy IPA and it was pretty delicious! Aside from the beer, I absolutely love this place because the cutest dogs make their appearance here. read more

Fremont Brewing has such a great space. There's indoor seating, but the front yard is where it's at. Tons of communal beer hall style tables, and barrels for you to put your drinks. The place is incredibly dog friendly, and they make bicyclists feel welcome too with a big rack right outside (I like big racks). I did a flight - gose, cask, summer ale, Interurban IPA, and their porter. My favorites were the gose and IPA. Oh, and free pretzels and free stickers! read more

I really love breweries and this one had some really good beer. My uncle and my dad came to town to visit. I decided that after that cool ride the ducks tour of Seattle, I had found this awesome brewery. Too bad the Duck tour didn't stop here, would make the tour like 10 times better. Anyway,I came with my uncle and dad and when we got their the line was nil and we got beer within about 7-10 minutes maybe 5 people in front of us around 1 ish Saturday. Ok second round, the line is like 12-14 people, like 20 minutes. Ok why not open more lines? Third round, same 20 minutes line, now bathroom line is like 1-15 min. Ughh to get a beer and use bathroom like 40 minutes. Not fun after about 2pm. Overall loved the beer just had some challenges on the logistics and bathroom situation. Things that could be improved maybe with porto potties even just to get the guys off to another line and allow the girls to go a bit easier. Also buy another register or another IPad to take orders, could speed things up quite a bit. Thanks for the good drinks though. read more

Fremont Brewing is a great place to hang out, especially in the summer where there's plenty of seating in their outdoor beer garden! It gets crazy busy sometimes, but the bartenders know what's up and they move the line quickly. This place is simply a brewery, so they have some snacks, but they don't really serve food. Feel free to get take out though -- there are a TON of awesome choices in the locality and you'll be able to please the entire group. read more

My favorite brewery stop during my Seattle visit! Huge space indoor and outdoor, and just has a "cool" and "hip" feel to it. Fremont is a great part of town, and from my short time there, one I'd consider living in. There's the Fremont troll, Theo Chocolate and Fremont brewing as some highlights in the area. The brewery has a cool set up inside with seated steps that you could sit on, which are reminiscent of high school bleachers. Part of the steps is made of blackboard, so you could pick up the chalk and leave your mark. We tasted some great beers, and I must say this was one of the best parts of my trip. read more

I mean honestly, who doesn't love this place? To no fault of its own, I knock a star off this review due to difficulty with nearby parking and the frequent crowds (aka long lines). Of course a crowd is a sign of a great establishment so it's a double edge sword There's a pretty large selection of beers and there's always a cider on tap. I was even excited the last time I visited given a sour was on tap! Just like any Seattle based company, there's more than enough IPAs as well. Always free pretzels and apples (how cute!). Prices are pretty standard. The establishment is large but almost too large for the number of bartenders and bathrooms. read more

Fremont Brewing appears to be one of more successful local Seattle breweries. Just judging by their huge outdoor patio beer garden and intricately detailed wood interior, I could see that for myself. I often spotted their cans on store shelves which further led to this conclusion. They only offer a 5 at a time sampler served on a wooden tray. Sure you might be able to get two of those 5 taster samplers but they didn't offer that option to me. The service from the two gals manning the bar was great. Especially the shorter girl with great recommendations. They generously offer up pretzels and apples for your munching pleasure. Be sure to bring a knife though cuz they're not pre-cut. Who eats a whole apple at a brewery? All of their IPAs and pales were just the right amount of hoppy. They aren't going for hop bombs, yet they're certainly not stingy with the green stuff either. Interurban and the single hop IPAs were particularly nice. They serve their full pints in those cool looking can style glasses, so that's an added bonus and a great excuse to order an extra pint after trying all their beers. I've had a few beers brewed with the special Ale's for ALS hop strain. Fremont easily treated this rare hop in the most endearing manner. Their ALS beer is the best of the few that I have tried. Their IPA on tap which featured this hop was one of my favorites. Their dark beers are just as good, if not better. The Bonfire is a tasty brew that would go great standing next to it's namesake on a beach. They had Dark Star and regular on tap that day. Both were delicious. They were a bit pricey but that's to be expected with this style. My only minor peeve was the bottle of Barrel Aged Dark Star that my honey bought me for my birthday was $20+ in the taproom. We later found it for $17 at Total Wine. We felt scammed but I'm happy she bought it for me straight from the source with L-O-V-E. I've yet to crack open that precious little bottle, but if it's anything as good as the reviews say, I might have to bump this up to a five star review. Even with the minor price gouging. read more

Such a fun place! I was on vacay with my hubby and his family and we decided to walk to the Gasworks park from our AirBnB to get a little break from the family. Then we headed over to Fremont Brewing. I loved the sour beers they have on tap! Its so hard for me to find sours that I enjoy! We sat inside on the stadium benches and people watched. It was a beautiful summer day in Seattle and there were tons of people and dogs out on the patio. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting. It is friendly and the vibe is relaxing. read more

Fremont Brewing - Flight of beer - Breweries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is a bit overrated. The beers here are not that good and leave a rancid, hoppy taste in your mouth until you eat/drink something else. Got their Interurban IPA which was supposedly one their best beers but could not finish it- not because I was all beered out, but because it was not good. I ended up getting a few other mediocre, overly-hoppy beers here as well. I went here with 3 other people who accompanied me to other Seattle breweries and in the end, it was a consensus that Fremont was our least favorite place so I don't just speak for myself. It's a quaint hipster spot and the vibe is cool, but their beers flopped. Try Georgetown Brewing instead - those guys know how to do it. read more

I am officially in love with Beer (light still) because of Fremont Brewing! You can bring your own food. Since they don't serve food, you can bring your dogs with you. First time here, I met up with my Yelp friends for coloring UYE the day before Easter. There were (must be) eight or ten of us. We brought crayon, color books, Easter candies, food, etc (I only brought my dogs). We had a good time hanging out, coloring, and drinking beers. I was very clumsy that I totally forgot to close my tab and I went home. I realized that when I was in my PJ. I called them up around 8PM and let them know I would be back and close it. Since I flew out the next day for a personal trip, getting my card back is super important. The staff was polite and friendly! Second time here, I gave a friend of mine a mini tour of Greenlake and Fremont. And, I decided to take her to Paseo for a Cuban Roast (but, she insisted to pay), famous Fremont Troll, and Fremont Brewing. We had great time hanging out and catching up. She liked the beer Fremont Brewing has; therefore, she bought a growler of house IPA for the friends she stays with. When I walked out, the staff knew my clumsy record and reminded me closing my tab. I really appreciated! (I was about to walk out again and he caught me). This is not a fancy place! A warehouse / garage looking building one block up from water (Lake Union). There are a big long table (picnic looking table) by the garage door and a few small tables on the side and in the back. Plus, there's a big space in the back behind the seating area (probably for bigger groups or beer garden). I am a light beer gal (I call myself entry-level). The staff recommended me Summer Solstice and Wandering Wheat. They both are very refreshing. However, Wandering Wheat is a little sweeter than Summer Solstice. But, I love them both. I say, the price is CHEAP! $4 per beer (a big beer glass). read more

First and foremost for the beers--these guys turn out a nice lineup of IPAs and stouts, with other styles showing up regularly as well. You can find their kegs and bombers all over town these days, and you can find growlers of their beer filled and chilled and ready to go here at the brewery. But when you come visit the place, you get a good experience to go with the good beer. It's on the east side of the aurora bridge, away from most of the places where people go out for a beer in Fremont. It's kind of its own little world, but that doesn't stop it from getting a nice steady crowd. You walk in and you know right away you're in a working brewery. There's a wall of bright tanks about 15 feet past the little foyer, with banquette seating cordoning off the working area from the drinking area. Past this is the register, where they fill tasters, schooners, and pints, and will you ring you up for growlers and bottle sales. They had Bourbon Barrel Abominable, capped and waxed, for sale in bombers yesterday. Nice! Turn from the register and you get more banquette seating and a long beer hall table made of kegs and old lumber. There's obviously a lot of rough and ready carpentry happening here; they clearly built the stairs and much of the upstairs offices themselves. It gives it a nice neighborhood feel, along with the sense that you'll not be bilked on beers so they can pay off the contractor loan. There's a roll-up garage door at the end of the beer hall table, and you know this place is fun in nice weather. Even on a somewhat dreary Sunday afternoon, there were all kinds of people here enjoying themselves. As the afternoon wore on, musicians showed up, along with dogs and kids. All good signs--being dog-friendly and kid-friendly makes it easy for people to make it in here, and live music is a nice touch. What they don't really have here is food, aside from boxed pretzel sticks and maybe a couple other little bar snacks. They do have great service, though, and everything else about the place is a slightly offbeat and very welcoming addition to the Seattle beer scene. read more

One of the best microbrews out there! On our short visit to Seattle, my boyfriend and I decided to visit Fremont neighborhood. While on our way back from Gas Works Park, we stopped by Fremont brewing and ended up staying for quite a few hours longer than expected! What pulled us in, of course, was the enchantment of beer, but after that, it was everything else this brewery had to offer. Fremont brewing is really spacious, having indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is what made me so excited to come in - there were white canopy tents set up, with wooden barrels and cute lights and shrubs to section it off from the street. The brewery is off the beaten path, in a more industrial back alley, not much foot or car traffic. But that lonesome vibe completely changes when you walk in. There's plenty of seating everywhere, mainly communal tables, including one long communal table inside stretching from the bar to the outdoor area. There's couches to lounge on inside as well, and it's pet-friendly! So many dogs and happy people here, it felt like a great local spot to come and hang out. As for the beer... it was elevated by the atmosphere. We LOVED the Brother IPA and other notables were a guest cider and their session ales are ...refreshing, delicious, etc, etc. In other words, just drink it. We both ordered a flight, then a few pints after. With the comfy couches, the soft sunlight and open breeze, we could have spent much longer than 3 hours there... But then we got hungry and decided to leave. Only reason to ever leave great beer: great food. We ended up leaving with a cute Fremont pint glass and their Brother IPA hoodie, because tourist tendencies. Highly recommend this local gem! Excellent beer, friendly staff and amazing atmosphere! read more

Fremont Brewing is located in, you guessed it, Fremont. Fairly close to the troll, so it's a perfect place to check out after taking out-of-towner's to see the troll. :) Fremont Brewing is very cute, first off. All of the big wooden tables outside and strung tea lights make it a dead giveaway that this place is a brewery. Inside, there's chalkboard walls and lots of barrels, making it a pretty cool place to take a look around. I had the wheat beer (can't remember what it's called), Lil Woody's, and one of their stouts... The wheat beer was my favorite, and it tasted pretty close to Blue Moon. The stout was a coffee and cocoa nibs beer, and I actually liked it! It was different and I probably wouldn't be able to drink too many in a row, but it's a nice flavor I could have every once in a while. read more

Probably one of the best breweries I've ever been to. The selection of beers is fantastic (All brewed by them), and they're actually delicious. Along with the delicious beer, the atmosphere can't be beat. There's two sides of the brewery, each with a walk up to get beer. One side has awesome private couch tables, and the other has a huge communal table and an indoor fireplace. The outside, is unlike any outdoor patio in the area. Completely covered when it's raining, completely open when it's sunny, with built-in heaters above pretty much every table. Highly recommend. read more

Dog friendly. $4 pints for every beer. They have prefilled growlers to go and cans of beer to go also. Decent sized tasting/ drinking room. Staff was friendly and helpful in decided which beer we should choose. They have a big parking lot out front that was fenced in to make room for the Fremont Solstice crowd. read more

I went here to meet up with some friends while visiting Seattle. There is tons of indoor and outdoor seating/standing options and plenty of beer to choose from. I got the wheat beer which was super good, and I tried the summer ale but didn't really like it. Most of the beers are $5-$7 and you can try any of the drafts. The free pretzels are nice, but I do wish they had food or appetizers that you could order, I believe they only have drinks. read more
