(Visited 09/2012 on the Seattle Road Dogs Tour): Fremont Brewing is located on Woodland Park in Fremont not too far from the Fremont Troll and close to the lake. Street parking is available in the surrounding area.

The inside is open with a clear view of the brewing equipment, and a walk-up bar in the rear for pints or growlers. Some merch by the bar too. Part of the garage is converted to picnic table seating.

Fremont has around 6 of their beers on tap, including Universale, Interurban IPA, Summer Ale, Wandering Wheat, Dark Star and Harvest Ale on my visit.

Service on our visit was pretty good, although there must have been a misunderstanding between our tour guide and the staff because we didn’t stay long, I assume because we were supposed to have a table reserved. It didn’t bother me but the guide was irritated.

I did not have any food on my visit.

Overall this place is a nice neighborhood brewery and I would like to visit again.

Sort of out of the way in the Fremont area. Just watch the turn or you will be going over a bridge which makes Garmen mad and no U turns on a bridge. Great tap room with the brewery right there. Good beers on tap and you find a few extras at the tap room.

Visited around 6pm on Thursday 8th November ’12. Place was booming and we just bagged one of the last small tables. Medium sized single room establishment with what I can only describe as small stadia style bench seating as you enter then to the left the main room which has a large central bench and then a few small tables scattered around it. All house beers - 8 on tap and one on cask, sample tray available. Server brought the tray over to me, where as ordinarily it’s bar service, so nice touch. We didn’t have food but free snacks were available in the form of mini pretzels - help yourself. Dog and child friendly, 2 or 3 of each variety on my visit. Decent place, some good beers and a good vibe. For reference I came in a cab from the Space Needle area (in rush hour) and this cost $16 with tip.

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.

I really liked this place - an informal drinking area in a corner of the brewery. Staff were welcoming, I got my half pints, beers were good, I would definately go again despite being a bit out of the way. However I started a great crawl from here ending at Urban Family!

This place is quite relaxing. Unfortunately, you get a lot of douchebags coming into this place, thinking they’re cool because they don’t know any better. I very well may be a douchebag, too, but I do live in Fremont, so I consider this a neighborhood hangout. Anyways, this place is very chill, again, except for the douchebags. Some of the staff seem annoyingly proud of their beer, but they’ve got a long, long way to go before they can be considered a well-known, domestic brewery. They have all of the potential, and when they do things right, - they do it really right, such as their Summer Ale, and Barrel-Aged Abominable. Lot’s of open space here, and they do the classy thing by serving free pretzels. Love the simplicity in the space, but some employees here, need to get their head out of the clouds, and realize there’s plenty of competition in Seattle. Stick to your craft, and keep making good shit, and you’ll do fine. No need to be so proud. Cheers. The self-service is nice, and I love finding the variety of their own stuff, when you go in.

Great place to swing by for pints and growlers of fresh hoppy beer. They also sell bottles and some brewery swag. Definitely looking forward to trying all their brews.

So I was walking through a neighborhood looking for this brewery, and it turns out it is part of the neighborhood. Just a big garage opened up with the mash tons in the back. Open seating to everyone that wants to come buy. Lots of people stop here when they walk their dogs. There is even a toy box for people that have children. There were free pretzels and nuts, and any food you want to bring in you are welcomed to. All they serve here is beer, and the prices are cheap. The simplistic nature of this establishment truly charmed me.

Fremont brewery is awesome. Not intended for the masses, but they’ve got their taps open a few days a week. Oh yeah, it’s in the brewery. Like you can see the beer being brewed in giant vats. It’s obviously all Fremont stuff, but that’s not bad, and it’s the best prices you will see for them. It’s a pretty cool place.

Garage door Entrance to Working brewery. Picnic table seating. Cold. Limited, but good quality brews. Eclectic in keeping with Fremont reputation.
