Fremont Brewing's Lush IPA Now Available on All Alaska Airlines Flights

One of the Pacific Northwest's best hoppy beers,  Fremont Brewing’s Lush IPA, will now be served on all Alaska Airlines flights. The partnership was first publicly announced in an Alaska Airlines blog post on November 13th. Made with a hand-selected blend of malts and Citra and Mosaic hops, Lush evokes the pure essence of the hops that define its clean, juicy, and tropical flavor.
