Beloved Patrons of Fort George,

In a week or so we will be introducing a new menu. All of your favorite items will remain and we have added a couple of things, such as the Double Bacon Cheeseburger, Anaheim Pepper Burger and Albacore Fish and Chips.

The new menu will also come with modest price increases on almost all items including the beer. You might be aware of the current hop and grain shortages plaguing the brewing industry. We are luckier than some as we have contacts in the hop industry that are looking out for us, but the cost of most hops have more than tripled in the last year. These pressures as well as steadily increasing fuel prices have combined to make us raise prices.

We appreciate your patronage and support and have been creative in finding ways to increase our efficiency and lower our waste as to minimize the impact of these price pressures. We take our mission to provide a place locals can eat, drink and meet in an affordable manner very seriously and we resort to raising prices reluctantly.

Thank you for your understanding and if you have any questions or concerns please ask for Chris or Jack.
