Fremont Brewing
Founded in 2009 by Sara Nelson and Matt Lincecum in the Ballard neighborhood, Fremont Brewing started as a family-owned operation in the depths of the Great Recession and built a Pacific Northwest institution out of it. Everything is built around local sourcing: barley from British Columbia, hops from a fourth-generation Yakima Valley family farm, and water straight from the Cedar River. The result is a lineup that's cleanly Northwest — rich malt character balanced with restrained, elegant hop spice.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
Interurban IPA
Their beers place in the Top 56% of the catalogue on average, across 4 ranked beers. One clear standout well ahead of the rest.
