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.

Dark brown, thin head. Quite fruity - vinous, juicy, but rich in chocolate, intense barrel with almost a rye accent. Complex, flavoursome.

Sample at the 2026 Dark Arts Festival. lack pour, a few bubbles, thick. Chocolaty aroma, cookies, cocoa powder. Taste is sweet and gooey, chocolaty, fudgy, actually tastes like pudding. A good way to kick off the fest.
