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.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Bright, clear golden pour, lively carbonation feeds a frothy white head leaving clumps of lacing. Mildly sweet biscuity aroma, fresh bread. Taste adds a touch of bitterness throughout, grassy, bready, crackers. Light bitterness lingers and then tapers off to a mild dryness.

16 oz. can, pours jet black with a large brown bead. Nose is full of coconut, with medium roast and a hint of cocoa. Flavour is a big coconut bomb sitting on top of sturdy roasted malt base and accentuated by a bit of cocoa. Really great use of coconut and roast, with relatively low residual sweetness. Highly drinkable despite the gravity. Excellent.

Bottle and on tap. Pours a almost pitch black hue with a small beige head. A big boozy nose, chocolate, bourbon. Ashy, rich chocolate, some heat, sweet strawberry. Works very well. Huge beer. Not overly unbalanced.

16 oz. can, pours a clear pale copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is wonderful, with lots of tangy white wine-like hops, some citrus, some melon, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is just as wonderful, with a vibrant, perfectly calibrated expression of the NZ hops -- so much white wine tang -- which combine with the tropical character of the mosaic. There's not much fruitiness, just lots of white wine and subtle tropical melon, finishing lightly bitter and crisp. Wonderful NZ-hopped WCIPA.
