India Pale Ales were originally brewed strong to withstand the long voyage to India. Today, breweries concoct IPAs hoppy enough to make the trip back. Vortex IPA is Fort George’s contribution to the IPA arms race.  We designed Vortex IPA not to rip the taste buds off of your tongue, but rather vigorously stimulate your palate with lupulin ecstasy.

Mighty, bold, and black as night, our house stout has gained a reputation for being contagious among the locals. This is no dry Irish anything, rather a strapping American Double Stout with a sweet undertow and addictive hint of roasty goodness. The name honors this brewer’s affinity with literary arachnids – specifically Charlotte A. Cavatica, the eight-legged character from E.B. Whites’ Charlotte’s Web. Be forewarned, this beer will stain your clothes.

This Imperial Coffee Stout collaboration hosted by Weathered Souls Brewing helped raise awareness about racial injustice in this country, and raised funds for organizations that support the Black community. Fort George and Buoy Beer took a portion of the batch brewed last year and aged it in local whiskey barrels from Adrift Distillery and Pilot House Distilling, then conditioned it on more freshly roasted coffee beans from Columbia River Coffee Roasters, right before bottling. 

100% of the proceeds from this beer will go to Black Resilience Fund of Portland.

FANZINE - a West Coast Style IPA collaboration with Great Notion. For this year's spring seasonal, we teamed up with our buddies at Great Notion in Portland. Dry-hopped with a mix of traditional & newer varieties, the light grain bill allows those hops to shine. A wonderful blast of mango, pine, and tangerine tickles your nose, followed by a heavy dose of citrus & melon flavor. The bitterness appears about halfway through each sip, leaving the tiniest tingle on your tongue. Malt: 2-Row Barley, Superior Pils, Mecca Grade Shaniko, Weyermann CarafoamHops: Citra, Ekuanot, Strata, ColumbusYeast: BSI American Ale 01ABV: 6.7%

It's that magical place: a creative confluence of scenic panoramas, bountiful lands, and independent spirit. A site on the edge of nowhere but enticing to all, where the cityscape ends and an open ocean begins. Whether you call it Shangri-La or Utopia or the City of Dreams, one thing is certain – this is the beer you will find there. Juice yeast, for a juicy quality. Plenty of wheat for a hazy mouthfeel. Tropical and citrus on the hops. As hoppy as an IPA, with the ABV of a Pale Ale. Hops: Citra, Mosaic, Azacca, Huell MelonMalts: 2-Row Barley, Pilsner, White Wheat, Flaked WheatYeast: Juice

In 2014 we released an entirely different IPA, a session with a similar name. Collaborating once again with Seattle’s Suicide Squeeze Records, Fort George has remastered the recipe in a big, big way. Artfully mixed like a 7” vinyl, Suicide Squeeze pops with Mosaic, Amarillo, and Citra hops. The can artwork is by Seattle based artist Jesse LeDoux, who won a Grammy for an album cover design for The Shins “Chutes to Narrow.” Suicide Squeeze cans are color-changing – the snake is green when cold, fading to gold as it warms while the red snake accents and building logo fade to gold as well.

Sometimes it’s hard to look on the bright side; let The Optimist keep your spirits aloft. Simplicity being the ultimate in sophistication, the brewers use a very concise recipe in this India Pale Ale to showcase the providential union of barley and hops. With its radiant golden body, a lively buoyant head, and auspicious floral aroma, your glass will always be half-full while drinking The Optimist.

Say hello to our loving imitation of a Witbier, a traditional Belgian style Ale, often very pale and cloudy in appearance due to the high level of wheat. Though typically brewed with coriander and orange zest, our Wit uses lemongrass to impart that citrus character, plus a little ground coriander and wild-crafted elderflower. There is no bitterness whatsoever, which gives your palate room to explore the smooth wheat malt and tantalizing herbs & spices. Appearance: hazy yellow-goldAroma: fruit, citrus, and sweet phenols from the Belgian yeastTaste: citrus, mild bubblegum, and a touch of spice.ABV: 5.2%

Slow down and take a moment to enjoy this unfiltered German-style Pilsner from the brewers at Fort George. A time-honored blend of Pilsner malt lays down a soft & bready, almost honey-like bed. The Meadow blooms in a flowery bouquet of herbal spice and noble hops. A light, sunny yellow disposition and a fluffy white head refresh the spirit. Wander down if you can. You're always welcome to join us in The Meadow.

Every year, Fort George teams up with two other powerhouses of beer innovation to create one of the PNWs most beloved and anticipated summer seasonals: 3-Way IPA. 2021's collaboration with Moonraker Brewing out of Auburn, California and Varietal Beer from Sunnyside, Washington brings you an effervescent bright orange brew with notes of sweet orange peel, white grape, grapefruit and peach.

For those looking for the least ostentatious way to demonstrate your fealty to 3-Way IPA: little buttons. 

Little buttons are printed and assembled in the USA out of the finest button making materials with just a sprinkling of the purest magic. 

Adorn your visage with flightless birds. These buttons look best when pinned to the side of a 3-Way sweatband, in the hand of a 3-Way drinker wearing a 3-Way T-shirt - but I'm sure they'll look great on you, too.

A true blend of Colorado & Oregon in this collaboration with OMF Brewing. Brewed with Troubadour malts (CO) and Mecca Grade malts (OR), hopped with Nuggets from High Wire Hops (CO) and Mt. Hood hops from Crosby Hops (OR), and barrel fermented in French oak with a blend of OMF & Fort George mixed culture yeasts. After 16 months the beer was divided with half receiving Rainier cherries and the other half Brooks cherries. We also created a blend of the two, conditioned on Saigon cinnamon & Ugandan vanilla. A full two year project...much like waiting on the release of the new Dune movie.
