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.

16 oz can courtesy of bvc. The pour is a very hazy orange yellow with a firm two inch egg white head. Head falls slowly and noisily with nice lace. The aroma is soft smooth wheat grain, along with clove, lemon grass and an herbal lemon-lime. The taste is the lemon up front, the grassiness of the lemon grass, and soft wheat grain and clove in the back. Nice integration of flavors. The palate is light to medium bodied, a touch under carbonated, with a pleasant un-filtered mouth feel and the clove lemon lime finish. Nice Wit, thanks Brandon.

16 oz can courtesy of bvc. Thr pour is a hazed golden yellow with a one inch white head. The aroma is naturally sweet malt, grainy, bit of earthy corn. The taste is less sweet grainy malt, corn, and a bitter sharpness to the finish, though its really a hop bite, more of a grain bite. The palate is medium bodied, pleasantly unfiltered mouth feel, and the dry sharp finish. The dryness makes it easy to drink. This was pretty interesting, certainly unique. Thanks for sending this my way, Brandon.

bottle - Pours hazy with a huge head and heavy lacing. It smells mainly of bourbon and Belgian yeast. The flavor includes high bitterness, prominent bourbon, spicy Belgian yeast, florals in the background, and a long bitter finish. In my opinion the floral character is mostly buried by the bourbon and hops, so for a beer intending to feature roses they could have been more in the forefront. It works well otherwise though. Good brew.

Draught. Barrel is in the aroma. Rather like Wild Turkey Bourbon. Full bodied with much roast, some vanillin and cocoa and coffee. Full finish, I’m glad I tried this

50cl Can, brought from the US, thanks H&T! Hazy golden yellow colour, fluffy white head. Aroma of floral hops, grapefruit, hay, sweet lemon, really vibrant and fresh. Flavour is light sweet, lemon, pale malts, floral, light yeasty, nice bitter grass and grapefruit finish that lingers a bit. Light-bodied, soft mouthfeel. More an APA than a lager, still a really fine beer.
