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 Elizabeth Station, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is massively dank in the hop department, with gentle line, some oak presence, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is super oily and dank in the hop department, with some resinous hop oils, pot, and a touch of tannins. Clean and wonderfully constructed. Excellent.

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Hazy yellow pour, thick fluffy white head, rings of clumpy lacing. Very light citrusy aroma. Taste brings forth mild citrus zest. Mellow, juicy and well balanced.

From Good Times Oakland, 500 ml waxed bottle.

Pours black with close to a finger of tan foam. Retention and esp,lacing, are excellent.

The smell is cocoa/chocolate, barrel aromas, roasted malt, overall divinely sweet.

The taste is thick dose of chocolate, roasted malt, barrel is coming through nicely, wood, and, surprisingly, no burn from the ample alcohol.

Fullish body that is silky smooth, this is a winner in my book for yes, I would drink this again. After awhile, the body does thin out a bit but that's a minor quibble.

Dark brown. Peanut butter and oreos, together with Matryoshka at last. It tastes exactly as you think it woukd, if you have experience with Matryoshka variants.

Pour at Festival of Dark Arts. Black pour, beige head, etc. Aroma is a dessert-y mess, and the taste doesn't too much else to fix it. For me, there was a bit too much going on. Drinkable and kind of enjoyable, but far too many adjuncts for me.
