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.

Like the new green growth of the coastal forests, Spruce Budd Ale is a reminder that spring is here. A local favorite with a faithful following, this beer is brewed with nothing more than hand-harvested spruce tips and pilsner malt. Fort George and our friends hand-harvest the hundreds of pounds of spruce tips needed to brew this beer, making it the most locally sourced beer you can get. Those tips go from tree, to kettle, to four-packs in about two weeks.

Late last summer, we drove out to Crosby Hop Farm to meet up with our friends from Block 15. We talked about West Coast IPAs, why we’re both fans of the style, and more specifically, the ideal hops for a fantastic spring seasonal. A few lots of Comet & Idaho 7 really stood out that day. And now, you’ll get to enjoy their vibrant flavors & aromas all spring long.

After months of conversation with our friends at Ravenna & Alvarado Street, nostalgia for the bygone days of a more see-through beer had won. This year, 3-Way IPA WAS a West Coast Style IPA. But then, we compromised. We’re good partners. And now it’s a NEW ENGLAND STYLE as opaque and inscrutable as our wildest dreams. 

2022 3-Way IPA - NEW ENGLAND STYLE, brings waves of nuanced fruit expression into a sea of balanced bitterness for a drink with the density of sunlight.
