"Not only is Fremont one of the biggest local craft breweries with distribution across the Pacific Northwest, but its Sky Kraken Pale Ale has become closely associated with Seattle’s NHL team (stop by the brewery, and you can even get your very own Sky Kraken hockey jersey). But while you can grab Fremont Lush at many a grocery store, the taproom remains the only place to sample the brewery’s more limited releases. From annual Dark Star stouts to experimental sours, these beers are best savored by the indoor fire pit or surrounded by lush foliage in the spacious beer garden — or, if you’re lucky, in the semi-secret back lounge." - Brianna Gunter
