Fremont Brewing is unveiling two limited releases for the start of spring: Kush IPA (Chronic IPA), a bold and aromatic hop-forward beer, and Orange & Cacao, a layered barrel-aged cuvée that blends citrus brightness with rich chocolate depth.
Kush IPA (Chronic IPA)
Kush IPA is an unapologetically expressive IPA built for hop lovers seeking depth, aroma, and intensity. Brewed with Citra, Mosaic, and Citra Cryo hops, and enhanced with a water-soluble botanical terpene blend, Kush leans into a distinctive profile of grapefruit, citrus peel, and tropical fruit layered over resinous, dank, and grassy notes.
At 7.0% ABV, the beer delivers a subtly sweet entry balanced by moderate bitterness and a mouthwatering finish, all wrapped in a medium-bodied structure that keeps the experience both bold and drinkable.
“Kush is about pushing into that resinous, aromatic space in a way that still feels balanced and intentional,” said Matt Lincoln, Director of Brewing Operations at Fremont Brewing. “It’s expressive, a little wild, and rooted in the kind of hop character that defines great IPAs.”
Kush IPA is available now in limited quantities of 16oz 4-packs.
Orange & Cacao (Barrel-Aged Cuvée)
Orange & Cacao is Fremont’s latest barrel-aged release, a complex cuvée that brings together multiple layers of flavor and process. The beer blends an imperial oatmeal stout brewed with licorice and cinnamon bark, aged in 10-year-old bourbon barrels, with a second imperial stout brewed specifically for the blend. The result is then finished with orange zest and cacao nibs, creating a rich, multidimensional drinking experience.
The final beer delivers chocolate-forward richness balanced by bright citrus lift, with underlying notes of anise and cinnamon that add warmth and intrigue.
At 11.0% ABV, Orange & Cacao pours deep black and opaque, offering a full-bodied, decadent profile suited for slow, intentional drinking.
“This beer is all about layering, building depth through blending, barrel aging, and complementary ingredients,” said Lincoln. “You get the richness of cacao, the brightness of orange, and the structure of a well-built stout, all working together.”
Orange & Cacao is available now in limited release 16 oz. 4-packs.
