The Fremont Brewing thread

Tradin' rusties for handies?!?

Lol, I love that the post is accurate AND sexual...nice work.

Opened up a Coffee Cinnamon BBomb last night. Absolutely insane.

Coffee Cinnamon BBomb is absolutely amazing! The best Fremont I have ever had.

 

[ExcuzM3]

They have Coffee Cinnamon on nitro at the brewery....holy ****

A Fremont RS would surprise me a bit...though I would join ASAP.

Also on Rusty Nail...I traded one for a BTAC Thomas H Handy.

I feel like i missed something. You traded what for what?! I just traded mine off for some Side Project bottles. And how likely would someone be willing to trade another btac for rusty. yeesh

I'm surprised anyone traded Rusty away. I'm a sucker for cinnamon stouts, especially barrel aged versions, and Rusty Nail was absolutely ridiculous. I'd rather drink it than Handy, but I can also have a glass of that about anytime I want too.

So quality of beer-wise I'm not surprised someone would trade a bottle of BTAC for a Rusty. First rare beer in WA!

For any of you curious about what that take home bottle was for the Heron Hunting Club. It's a 1978 Heaven Hills barrel aged B-Bomb called "The Ancient One." 1 per member.

Clarification: 2014 B-Bomb aged in 1978 Heaven Hills barrels, not a time traveling 37 year old bottle of B-Bomb.

Someone really wanted some Rusty Nail and put up a THH for it in one of the forums. I had to oblige the person as I love THH. Rusty was extremely limited and also extremely delicious. I hooked him up with some sweet extras too. I am not sure it would be easy to replicate my trade but you never know.

I thought it was a 50% blend of that and 1-year old 2014 B-bomb?

I know. It was on nitro at Brouwer's during Big Wood just before the official release. Crazy delicious.

I think that's the case. I don't have one, just heard from friends who were there.

 

[juanmalamunga]

Had two glasses of the nitro cbomb. Best. Evar.

Fremont had a Gose on tap this past Friday but the keg didn't last very long. Hopefully it will be back soon.

2014 bottles of First Nail for sale at the brewery.

 

[SeattleBeerPenguin]

2014 bottles of First Nail for sale at the brewery.

They sat on the bottles too long (ie. cinnamon faded). Can't wait for the 2015 bottles hopefully next month, that stuff is awesome right now on tap.

Does anyone know if any of this is in barrels ?

Yes, in bourbon barrels for tentative late 2015 release.

Agree completely. Why brew a cinnamon forward beer (which is delicious) only to sit on it and let the cinnamon fade?

To clarify, the 2015 First Nail is in bourbon barrels, not the 2014.

They felt that it was way too hot out of the gate. Long story short, I think they ****** up the fermentation, and they wanted to see if bottle conditioning would fix things.

Cheers to Fremont brewing today on their BA Brew 1000 marking their 1,000th brew. Fitting that it is delicious. Their barrel program is really hitting its stride. Can't wait for KDS and BBomb.

Is this getting distro/will it be available at any online stores like the other BA fremont ?

Sold 50 cases at the brewery today and 150 supposed to hit distro. Don't know if that leaves enough to find its way online.

The guy that poured my beer said that there were 36 cases to be sold at the brewery and 36 cases to be sold in distribution. Not sure my source knows his **** but that's what an employee at Fremont said...

200 cases seems high considering what OBR was. But what the hell do I know. Srs. No idea.

Not sure where I read my numbers, but you could be right.

By the way readers, the beer's good. Very bourbon forward, which is nice considering how tame OBR was on the barrel side. Reminds me a lot of a sweeter Central Waters BBBW.

Had brew 1000 at WTF last week. Best beer I had that night.

[waltersrj]

I've heard 40 sold at the UBG and 50 distro'd.

 

[chrispy1]

When I was there Wednesday I heard an employee say they sold 1 pallet. I don't really know what that is in terms of cases.

KDS this year is 14.5% daaaamn.

 

[Podunkparte]

KDS this year is 14.5% daaaamn.

And it comes in a box. And it's $87. And it won't trade for A&T. And people will keep it for 8 years thinking its value will skyrocket because they're stupid.
