Notes

Visited: June 27, 1993

Opened: 1988

Closed: 1994

Annual Production: 2,000 bbl

Re-opened 1/11/1994 when the new management took over from Bill Owens and changed the name to Fremont Brewing Company. Good food, reasonable prices and service. Brewpub-on-the-Green was the first stop on my nine-brewery 1000-mile Beer Odyssey back in 1992.

      It's amber, alright. Just a little dark. No head...maybe it's the glasses here? Very faint hop aroma, not much else. Thin, fruity. Fizzier than I'd expect. Very thin. Not a Real Good beer. Their description: "Amber color. Malty flavor. Strong hop aroma."

      Deep amber, good head. Rich crystal malt aroma. Strong flowery hops behind that. Seriously hopped. Long-lasting bitter finish is intense but not unpleasant. Some astringency in finish. Full body. Crystal malt isn't as obvious in taste as in aroma. Good beer! Special brew for 4th of July.

      Overall Impression (2½)
      Pretty dark, short-lived head. Good roasty aroma with hops underneath. Thin and fizzy. Roasty, but not enough body to carry it. It's OK, but there are far better Porters. Their description: "English style dark beer. Chocolate-coffee flavor with a bitter taste."
