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 Chuck's Hop Shop - Greenwood, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is soft, with gentle fuzzy peaches, not much else. Flavour has a strange peach character, with a seltzery character, fruity peaches, and a mineraly finish. Very odd — never quite had anything like this. Not bad.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Clear golden pour, thin, tight white head. Dank, hoppy aroma, floral. Taste brings the dank too, soapy, weedy, citrus with a light bitter bite and a relatively clean finish.

500mL bottle. Pours jet black with small beige head. Aroma has a ton of vanilla bean and chocolate with some bourbon to offset; maybe some nutty flavour. Flavour has chocolate and vanilla bean, some bourbon. Not really getting much dates or almonds. Better-integrated than the almond-less version, though both are a huge punch of chocolate and vanilla.

Dark brown, thin head, there's still a lot of vanilla. This has a fair bit of carbonation, relative to the non-almond variant. That makes it a bit lighter, and removes some of the sugary complexity.

16 oz. bottle, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma has plenty of vanilla beans, some cocoa, and bourbon -- not getting dates or almonds. Flavour has lots of dark sugars, vanilla beans, a touch of cocoa, some rounded bourbon, but not really any almond character. The vanilla bean character is much more tempered than in the non-almond version. Cohesive and integrated, despite not showcasing the dates or almonds. Excellent.

500mL bottle. Pours jet black with small beige head. Aroma has a ton of chocolate and vanilla. Flavour has a decadent chocolate and vanilla profile, boozy on the finish, maybe some dates if I concentrate. Very much dominated by the vanilla beans and chocolate; still very good.
