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, thanks to Colin at the Tuesday Horal Chugging Tasting. It pours jet black with a thick tan head. The nose is roasty, toast, chocolate, earth, caramel, rocky road and cake. The taste is roasted malt, toast, dark fruit, plum, grape, raisin, mild acidity, light tang, decent bitterness, sweet whiskey and wood with a dry, roasty finish. Full body and average carbonation. Very drinkable for the style. Nice!

Craft Clerkenwell, Tuesday Horal Chugging Tasting, can with original credit to one of the PDX crew - Bird I seem to recall, 17/09/13.

Taste comprises cocoa, bourbon and rye come through well, dark fruit and toffee notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, smooth on the palate, lightly warming alcohol in the finish. Nice impy.

Craft Clerkenwell. Tuesday Horal Chugging Tasting! Thanks to Colin for this rare piece of aluminum. Opaque dark brown beer with a good tan head. Light and airy palate, semi dry. Light tang on the dark malt and a nice chocolate streak. Touch of dark fruits. Mellow whisky and a litte barrel wood vanilla. Finishes airy and fluffy! Pretty good and pretty drinkable.

A gorgeous black IPA they will be tinning soon. Aroma is restrained roast with hop. Flavour is full bodied malt and roast, but with a hop edge. There is even a chocolate note in the finish. This Beer is now called Fort George Next Adventure IPA and is available in tins.

Cask at GBBF 2013. It pours clear amber with a small bubbly white head. The nose is wood, resin, sweet honey, light floral and earth. The taste is bitter-sweet, oily, varnish, wood, earth, resin, unami aspect, caramel and alcohol. Medium body, low carb and oily mouth-feel. A bit cloying after a bit, but decent nonetheless...

16 oz can. The first aroma to hit these nostrils after cracking this open is a resinous hoppy dankness wafting out of the canhole before I even poured it into my Duvel tulip. Pours hazy golden with a large white head with good retention. Taste is bittersweet and not quite as nice as the aroma let on. Nice hoppy flavor but not quite what I was expecting considering the aroma. It has a pleasant candy sweetness without it becoming cloying, though. Prickly carbonation, medium body. Nice IPA overall.

On tap at Saraveza's 4th IIPA fest, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of brings out loads of cat piss, citrus hops, and some dank herbal hops. Flavour is very pungent, with loads of bitter pine, a touch of citrus, some earthy notes and more piney hops. Just enough malt to round things out. Finishes very bitter and piney hoppy. An excellent IIPA.
