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.

Draught. Poured red with medium white head.. Toasty aroma. Malty flavour, with fresh toast and biscuitty notes. Enough hop in the finish to keep it from being too sweet.

Cask@GBBF2009. Orange colour, not much head. Aroma is fruity, floral, grassy and a bit toffeeish as well. Flavour is very nicely balanced of the same. Lovely and pleasant balanced IPA. Grassy and fruity bitter aftertaste along with some toffeeish notes.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Orange, almost clear color, not much head. Intensive tropical fruity aroma, kiwi, mango, a bit resin. Citrusy, resiny hoppy juicy flavor. Pale malty. A bit thin but otherwise this is quite well-brewed IPA. Long lingering fruity bitterness in the aftertaste. One of the best beers at GBBF 2009.
