Fremont Brewing Announces Release of 2018 Bourbon Abominable, aka B-Bomb

Seattle's Fremont Brewing makes some of the finest barrel-aged beers in the country. One of the most sought-after is Bourbon Barrel-Aged Abominable Winter Ale, aka B-Bomb. Fremont Brewing is excited to celebrate the release of 2018 B-Bomb (formerly known as Bourbon Abominable) on November 23rd at Fremont’s Urban Beer Garden on #BBombFriday. B-Bomb will be on-tap and available to-go in 22oz bottles at 11am. Then at 5pm, the legendary Yeti will join the party to help tap three release-party-only B-Bomb infusions! B-Bomb bottles are $20 each with a four bottle limit per person. Full distribution will follow the event.

About: This year’s release of B-Bomb is aged in 8-12-year-old American Oak bourbon barrels and is a blend of 9, 12, and 24-month old barrel-aged Winter Ale. B-Bomb achieves distinct bourbon, oak, cacao, leather, toffee, and dark coffee notes from its extended barrel aging and barrel blending. Each barrel contributes a different note, and combining each barrel to create a coherent tone is a distinct art and true pleasure. Please do enjoy this unique barrel-aged ale today but know that B-Bomb will age gracefully for at least another 5 years. Don’t Be Afraid To Be Abominable.
