About this audio guide
This guide to Fremont Brewing's Urban Beer Garden in Seattle follows a small mystery: did the taproom open in 2008 or 2009? It traces the story back to lawyer Matt Lincecum, who moonlighted as a home brewer for fifteen years while hiding the idea from his wife, Sara Nelson, who worked in politics. It follows the secondhand fifteen-barrel brewhouse that arrived from Red Lodge Ales and the roll-up-door tasting room built with no wifi on purpose. Listen for why nobody thought to write the exact date down.
