Fremont Brewing releasing a barley wine for Bonney By washingtonbeerblog on December 30, 2020 at 8:46 AM
Matt Bonney was a larger-than-life personality on the Seattle beer scene. Among his numerous contributions to the local beer universe, he opened Toronado Seattle in 2014, but that’s just one part of a long list. Matt unexpectedly passed away in 2019. It was a year later in March 2020 that Toronado Seattle announced that it was closing permanently.

The beer was brewed in collaboration with the folks at Seattle’s esteemed beer bar, Brouwer’s Cafe, which is where Matt made an indelible first impression on many local beer lovers.
