Fremont Brewing Celebrates Fresh Hop Season with Five Limited Releases Showcasing the 2025 Hop Harvest
SEATTLE, WA – The wait is over as Fresh Hop season has arrived! As the Pacific Northwest’s annual hop harvest kicks into full swing, Fremont is once again embracing the fleeting beauty of the season with five vibrant, hop-forward releases, each brewed with whole-cone hops harvested and brewed within 24 hours. From crisp and classic to juicy and dank, the 2025 lineup includes returning fan favorites and a fresh new take on a Fremont staple.
THE 2025 FREMONT FRESH HOP LINEUP

Fremont’s flagship fresh hop pale ale is a tribute to the harvest itself. Brewed with fresh Centennial hops and dry-hopped with Cryo Fresh Simcoe, this special release offers aromas of delicate citrus, melon, and floral notes, followed by hints of fresh-cut grass and resinous pine. Crisp bitterness and a clean finish make it endlessly drinkable.

“Fresh Hop season is the best time of year to be a brewer in the Northwest,” said Matt Lincecum, Founder and Owner of Fremont Brewing. “It’s a way to connect directly to the land, to the farms, to the moment. These beers are made fast, fresh, and with purpose. You can’t replicate this flavor any other way.”
“There’s nothing quite like seeing a truck pull up with just-picked hops and brewing with them the same day,” said Matt Lincoln, Fremont’s Director of Brewery Operations. “It’s brewing at its most raw and rewarding and we build our entire production calendar around making it happen.”
Fremont’s Fresh Hop releases will be available in 16oz cans and on draft throughout Washington and select West Coast markets, as well as at Fremont’s Urban Beer Garden locations in Seattle.
