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.

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.

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.

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.

A good beer for drinking any time of the day, even when the sun is rising. Slightly bitter with a lovely hop aroma, OPA is based on the first beer ever brewed at Fort George, Beer #1. We added oatmeal to make it even better.

1811 was originally brewed in 2011 as the Official Bicentennial Beer of Astoria, Oregon. It was the first beer ever canned at Fort George. 
 
More flavorful than most modern day domestic Lagers, 1811 is lovingly concocted from pilsner malts & flaked corn. Corn was a popular ingredient in pre-Prohibition days. Breweries during those times also had limited access to ice, so they improvised by brewing with lager yeasts at higher-than-normal temperatures. Described as a “Refreshing drink, much consumed by the laboring classes,” this is the inspiration behind 1811 Lager.
 
ABV: 5.1%

This IPA distinguishes itself with a bit of biscuity English malt called Maris Otter, giving it a stronger malt character than most modern IPA’s while still packing a big tropical, peachy, and citrusy hop punch. As fruity as this beer is, it still has a mild bitterness to round it out and prevent it from being overly sweet. This is a collaboration with fellow nerds at Our Mutual Friend Brewing. 
 
Crysknife is deep gold and opaque haze in appearance with a sweet, juicy, fruity aroma that rounds out its tropical fruit flavor and medium-thick mouthfeel. It is double dry-hopped, once at the end of fermentation and again after fermentation.
 
Hops: Mosaic, Azacca, Cashmere, Citra, Amarillo
