History
Fremont Brewing, founded in 2009 in Seattle, Washington, created Brew 5000 to celebrate a significant milestone—their 5000th batch of beer1. This beer is aged for 16 months in 10-15 year-old, single-use bourbon barrels, which imparts a unique depth and complexity to its flavor1. The brewery uses floor-malted English barley and Noble hops to craft this ale, making it a standout in their lineup.
Released in April 2021, Brew 5000 is a limited-edition beer that has garnered high praise for its intricate taste and aging potential. It’s a testament to Fremont Brewing’s dedication to quality and their craft beer community.
