SEATTLE, WA – Fremont Brewing is summoning something rare for Memorial Day Weekend. On Saturday, May 23, 2026, the Seattle brewery will release Ride the Dragon, an exclusive barrel-aged blend available only at Fremont’s Urban Beer Garden locations in Fremont and Columbia City.
Ride the Dragon is a decadent fusion of two of Fremont’s most sought-after barrel-aged beers: Barrel-Aged Dark Star, an imperial oatmeal stout aged for more than two years in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, and B-Bomb, Fremont’s imperial winter ale aged for more than two years in cinnamon vanilla whiskey barrels. The final blend is conditioned on toasted coconut and cinnamon bark, creating a rich and layered beer built for slow sipping and special occasions.
Get ready to experience a deeply expressive barrel-aged release that balances dark chocolate, bourbon warmth, vanilla, cinnamon spice, toasted coconut, and oak with a velvety body and lingering finish.
“Ride the Dragon is one of those beers that only happens when patience, creativity, and great barrels come together at the right moment,” said Matt Lincoln, Director of Brewing Operations at Fremont Brewing. “Both Dark Star and B-Bomb have incredible depth on their own, but blending them together with toasted coconut and cinnamon bark creates something completely unique that is rich, complex, and immersive.”
Ride the Dragon continues Fremont Brewing’s long-standing tradition of pushing the boundaries of barrel-aged beer through blending, extended aging, and layered ingredient additions.
