Launch Party at APEX on November 17, 2015, 4 – 8:00 pm
Press Release - SEATTLE –
Fremont Brewing of Seattle, Washington will be distributed in Oregon by
Columbia Distributing
beginning with draft sales later this month. To celebrate their
entry into the Portland market, Fremont Brewing and Columbia
Distributing will host a launch party featuring ten Fremont brews at
APEX in Portland on Tuesday, November 17, 4:00 – 8:00 p.m. APEX is located at 1216 SE Division St. 97202.
The
Seattle-based brewery and taproom was founded in 2009 by Matt Lincecum
and Sara Nelson and is now the fastest growing brewery in Washington,
with sales
projected to increase significantly since Columbia Distributing assumed
Fremont’s WA distribution in August of this year.
Winner
of countless awards, including World Beer Cup and GABF medals,
Fremont’s brews include their flagship Universale Pale Ale; Interurban
IPA, WA’s best-selling
craft beer; and local seasonal favorite Summer Ale; as well as numerous
barrel-aged and special release styles.
In
addition to its reputation for consistent quality and innovation,
Fremont Brewing is a recognized leader in sustainable brewing operations
and community
engagement such as giving generously to non-profit organizations,
promoting the organic hop and local grain markets, and reducing their
carbon footprint through conservation and green technologies. It is for
these and many other initiatives that they won Washington’s
Manufacturer of the Year Award for 2015 and King County’s Best Small
Business Award in 2014.
“We’re
excited to offer our craft beer to our brothers and sisters in Oregon
with our partners, Columbia Distributing. APEX is the perfect spot to
begin this
chapter in Fremont’s future because they know that Beer Matters,”
Lincecum said. “We will travel throughout the great nation of Oregon in
the coming weeks and hold events and tastings for the good people in
Oregon…Because Oregon Matters!”
“We’re
thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Fremont. Their success in
one of the most competitive craft markets in the country is a testament
not
only to the quality of their beers but to their exceptional people,”
said Jesse Ferber, VP of craft and imports at Columbia Distributing.
“Their team stood out to Columbia as one of the best in class, the more
we learned about their organization; the more
we felt this was a very strong match for us.”
