I've now lived in Fremont for a few months, and my only regret is that I didn't find Brouwer's earlier.
Their beer list is unmatched. period. Some huge number of Belgian beers on tap, and hundreds more in bottles.
The interior is wooded modern, and is in fact very upscale (unusual for Fremont). The bi-level open interior allows for people watching as much as generally relaxing.
Our food was extremely good. We tried the mussels and the smoked salmon. The mussles were really good, far better prepared than the famous Penn Cove mussels that we tried on Whidbey - very flavorful in a non-fishy way. The smoked salmon was also top notch.
Highly recommended.
