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.

On tap at DownTime Taps, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of rich peanut butter cups, chocolate, soft bourbon, roasted peanuts, and a touch of vanilla I guess. Flavour is very rich and dessert-like without being too sweet: there’s lots of peanut butter, chocolate, dark sugars, some marshmallow, and then some bourbon barrel presence. Pastrified deliciousness that’s balanced and complex without being cloying. Tasty.

16oz can at Hops & Bottles. Hazy yellow pour, fine layer of foam, solid lacing. Mellow, citrusy, fruity aroma grows more aggressive in the taste. Grapefruit, citrus peel, zesty, tangy, sharp.

16 oz can. Aroma has notes of cantaloupe, pine, citrus peel. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with good retention. Taste is bright and citrusy and piney with firm bitterness. Really crushable. Maybe better than either of the original two beers by themselves.

12 oz. can, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma has a very complex bourbon barrel character, lots of woody oak, and medium roast. Flavour is complex and elegant, with exquisitely complex bourbon barrels blended beautifully, vanillin, gentle roast, toasted oak, and a hint of attenuated dark sugars. Super elegant. Beautiful stuff.

355mL can. Pours black with a beige head. Dry roasted malts, burnt toffee, and tons of woody bourbon barrels on the nose. Flavour is an excellent blend of roasty imperial stout and bourbon barrel. Toffee, charred sugars, burnt wood, a bit of a tobacco. Sugars are rich, complemented by the bourbon, but offset by the barrels. An excellent beer.

Draft at Zwanze. Pours dark brown with beige foam. Aroma is highly botanical, earthy, with sage and mint coming to the fore. Taste is lightly sweet and herbal, finishing dry; bitterness lingers on the back end.
