Sensory Description:

Hustle opens with a vibrant bouquet of orange and grapefruit citrus, lifted by sweet aromatics, pine, and subtle tropical notes reminiscent of white wine. On the palate, layers of moderate sweetness and resinous hop character intermingle with a medium body that is both warming and approachable. A measured bitterness lingers through the finish, leaving behind a clean, refreshing dryness that invites another sip.

Brewer's Background:

Founded in 2009 in Seattle, Washington, Fremont Brewing was born out of Matt Lincecum’s and Sara Nelson’s shared desire to blend sustainability, community building, and world-class craft beer. From their humble beginnings with a 15-barrel brewhouse to their expansive Fremont West facility, they remain committed to brewing with the finest local ingredients, supporting their community, and leading with environmental stewardship. The Great Blue Heron, their emblem, symbolizes resourcefulness and loyalty, qualities at the heart of Fremont Brewing’s identity.

Serving Suggestions:

Best enjoyed at 45–50°F, Hustle Double IPA pairs perfectly with robust dishes that can stand up to its strength and complexity. Try it with spicy Thai curries, blackened salmon, grilled pork ribs, or sharp aged cheddar. For a sweeter pairing, complement its citrus and tropical tones with pineapple upside-down cake or orange-zested dark chocolate.

Hustle Double IPA is a celebration of Fremont Brewing’s spirit, bold, fearless, and always rooted in quality. For those who work hard, dream big, and savor each reward, this beer is your perfect companion.
