Seattle, WA – Ghostfish Brewing Company (GBC) has today announced the acquisition of brewery assets from Green Lake Brewing Company, LLC dba Fremont Brewing Company.
The new home for GBC beer production is located approximately 2.5 miles south of the existing GBC brewery taproom & restaurant in the Georgetown area of Seattle, WA. This strategic move marks a long-awaited expansion project, allowing for substantial growth in production and paving the way for future growth within the existing taproom & restaurant location.
"This expansion is a long time coming and a major milestone for us," said Brian Thiel, co-founder/co-owner of GBC. "We started a process of identifying and viewing potential vacant warehouses around the greater Seattle area with the intention to build out a new state-of-the-art brewery back in early 2024. After learning about the former Pike brewery opportunity from our friends at Fremont Brewing in late 2024, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that it checked most of the boxes we were planning to create on our own. The timing of acquiring the new production brewery aligns perfectly for us to meet the growing demand for Ghostfish beer."
GBC's new production brewery was originally built out in 2023 by Seattle's iconic Pike Brewing. The brewery's brewing and packaging equipment is nestled in a 26,000 square foot facility with easy access to major transit lanes. GBC anticipates the new production brewery will support a 6x – 7x greater production capacity than its current annual production.
"Our goal, from the beginning, has been to make the highest quality dedicated gluten free beer while providing an amazing experience for our customers," Thiel stated. "We've been oversold the past 3-4 years. The new production brewery provides us with the opportunity to achieve sales that we unfortunately haven't been able to obtain out of our current production brewery. More importantly, we'll be in a better position to expand our distribution footprint and finally get Ghostfish beer into the hands of more customers throughout North America who have been requesting it over the past ten years."
