Description
Fort George Brewery + Public House sits on the original settlement site of Fort Astoria, founded in 1811. The oldest US settlement west of the Rockies, Fort Astoria was the Pacific Fur Company's primary trading post in the Northwest. Fort George opened its doors to Astoria as both a brewery and a public house, and that desire to serve the community continues to this day. The brewers and pub staff here share a common goal, to create a welcoming space where anyone in town can pull up a stool and enjoy a pint and a bite to eat. We take pride in our house-made offerings and our hospitality, and we’re always looking for improvements that bring us one step closer to perfection. It’s a goal Sisyphus could appreciate, even if he doesn’t have as much fun pushing that rock as we do rolling those kegs. And that’s why we like to call Fort George beer the best beer you’ve had today. Tomorrow it will only be better.

Can from Brewers Haven. Initial aroma and pour had me thinking this was right on. Taste quickly becomes overly sweet, Some peppery accents that almost burn like a DIPA. Seems right on the surface, but fig deeper and its slightly flawed.

Bottle from Mongers. Pours a ruddy black color with a small beige head. A big sweet nose, vanilla and oak. Huge sweet bourbon, vanilla, toffee, burnt toffee, dark fruit, berries, chocolate. Hot bourbon. Light astringent oak and heavy whiskey. Damn good. This is aged in Willett barrels according to the bottle. Awesome beer.

Draft pour at Frankies pizza. Pours a cloudy copper color worth a thin bubbly head. This beer tastes sweet and fruity right away. Tropical in my opinion. Maybe a little too sweet. I feel like it’s missing the boldness I love about IPAs, but this is pretty good either way. Quite refreshing. Good stuff.

Bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Nose brings out notes of farmhouse yeast and some earthy funk. Flavour is very muddy yeasty, with light orange zest, dirty yeast and earthy notes. Typical North American saison, with too much yeast and quite inauthentic. Not too bad.
