This porter is reminiscent of our Panamax but has now has been brewed with the addition of over 5 lbs. of working girl coffee beans.  The beans were put into both the mash tun and the kettle to create a light coffee aroma and coffee aftertaste in this diverse porter. With additional hints of chocolate and rye malt, this porter is well balanced and fantastic at any point in the day. </div> <big style="font-style: italic;"><big>Lovell Lager</big></big> 5.6 ABV   <div style="text-align: justify;">Crisp. Refreshing. Titillating. Sent from the heavens. These are only a few of the many words to describe the Lovell Lager. The Lovell lager is made only once a year at Fort George pays tribute to Robert Lovell, the previous owner of the Fort George block. This lager was made with organic pilsner malt and combined with Czech Saaz hops to unfold a truly majestic lager that is simple in its complexity and is truly fit for the spring. Let this full flavored lager help you bring in the new light.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold; font-family: Rockwell;"> Follow us on Twitter or Facebook to get updates when Beers go on tap! </div> <div style="text-align: center;"><big> <a href="http://twitter.com/FortGeorgeBeer"><img alt="Twitter" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4246713031_68a6156959_o.png" style="border: 0px solid ; width: 30px; height: 30px;"></a> </big><big><a href="http://www.facebook.com/fortgeorgebrewery"><img alt="Facebook" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4247487042_1b7db5564c_o.png" style="border: 0px solid ; width: 30px; height: 30px;"></a></big></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="width: 253px; height: 990px; font-family: Rockwell;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> </tr> <tr> <td class="miniTable"> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> <h3 style="text-align: center;"><big style="font-family: Arial Rounded MT Bold;">Sunday Night Live Music Line Up</big>   </h3> <div style="text-align: left;">  We have a wide range of different Muscians that grace our stage every Sunday night from 8-10 PM.

The Fort George will be celebrating its� third birthday on March 14th this year.  When Chris and I started putting this together in the Winter of �05 we had solid pub and brewing experience, the belief and trust of family and friends who invested in us and a vision to build the kind of place we would both like to drink beer in. We didn�t always agree on all the details, but the overall goal of being people and community centered always prevailed. </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> </div> </div> <img style="width: 326px; height: 217px;" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4381648710_f22b7aaa12_b.jpg"> In the late Spring of �06 it started to become frighteningly real as we pulled into town after an exhausting 7 day trip to Virginia to fetch our brewery.  Months of demolition and rebuilding with  Dana, Anthony and his crews started to come together when we hosted the Bob Marley Birthday Party with Ma Barley before we were ready to open.  It seemed like this might actually work, at least as long as we featured a reggae band and free chicken. <img style="width: 316px; height: 237px;" alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4045/4381661844_ce5893ae18_b.jpg"> Finally, on March 11 we opened our doors. Most of this time is a blur to me as  a vague 18 hour a day beer fueled frenzy, but what really stands out are the people.  We had a pretty tight-knit family group develop while we were under construction, but things really got interesting when we brought in a staff and our public to the public house.  Brigid is still with us from the original opening day staff. Chris Huff put his mark on the place. Shannon started early on. Sarah came in to apply and I handed her an apron. Megan, Chandler and Erin helped us get through our second summer. We now have a staff of over 20 dedicated people who make this place better every day. Paul was our first regular, and the first to be cut off. That is better than hanging a dollar bill on the wall. Folks were very encouraging and kept supporting us even when they had to wait forever to get a burger. Now I see people all over the region who I have gotten to know through the Fort. Babies have been conceived, born, learned to walk and talk since we opened our doors. We too, have outgrown our original plans and were fortunate to have a landlord willing to let us stretch out and take over his buildings so we can throw bigger and better parking lot parties, make more beer and generally contribute in our small way to this amazing area we are all lucky to live in. Three years isn�t a long time and we have no intention of slacking now. Our growth plans, while ambitious are all rooted in our overall goal of giving people an excellent place to enjoy beer and each other. We will continue to count on our patrons and staff to continuously improve our standards. I ask you all to do your part in our success by filling out a comment card, send us an email or just stop one of us and tell us how we can make this Public House even better. - Jack Harris, Co-Owner </div> <div style="text-align: right;"> <a href="jan10newsletter.html#top">Back to top</a> </div> <img src="hr.gif" alt="" width="326" height="10"> <h2>Attention all Homebrewers, Beer Lovers, and Fort George Fans! </h2> <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;">We here at Fort George take being a Public House very seriously.

For only $25 you can get a stout taster tray and a shirt! Below you will find a little more information about each beer we will have on tap this month. </div> <img style="width: 377px; height: 282px;" alt="" src="<a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2776/4337402362_013f301e7f_b.jpg"><br&gt">http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2776/4337402362_013f301e7f_b.jpg"><br&gt</a>; <div style="text-align: justify;"> <big>Deb helped me take this shot of our 8 Stout Taster Tray! Mmmmmm</big> </div> The Murky Pearl<br style="font-weight: bold;"> 7.8% ABV <div style="text-align: justify;">Right before we transferred this beer to the fermentor, we ran the wort through 3 buckets of Willapa Bay Oysters. We let the oysters sit in the wort until they started to pop open infusing the beer with the briny oyster juice. Although you cannot taste an immense amount of oyster in this stout, you can taste a hint of salty goodness that lingers in this beer. Drinking this beer is truly like kissing the ocean. <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Coffee Girl<br style="font-weight: bold;"> 9.5% ABV </div> Dry hopped with 8 lbs. of coffee beans from Ethiopia called Halle Sclassie Sodamo.The beans give a bit of a fruity taste along with hints of cardamom, cream, ginger and caramel. This is a perfect blend for our coffee girl beer that has a strong malty and chocolate taste. The beans have been sitting and aging with the beer for two and a half weeks and in time, the beans and brew have evolved into something spectacular. <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bourbon BBL Cavatica Stout<br style="font-weight: bold;"> 8.6% ABV </div> Our Cavatica Stout was left to sit and age in Wild Turkey barrels for two and a half months. The day before we transferred the stout into a serving tank we had one of the Wild Turkey barrels explode on us sending delicious stout all down Duane St. It never smelled so good on this block. What was once a very delicious bourbon stout has become a limited edition bourbon stout. <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Badda Bing Cherry Stout<br style="font-weight: bold;"> 8.2% ABV </div> Although one of our most time consuming beers to make, the Badda Bing stout was worth the time. Dry hopped with 40 lbs. of cherries this stout radiates a cherry tartness that refuses to be ignored. Before we put all of the cherries into the fermentor, we had to pit all of the cherries and sanitize them. This in itself took 6 people two hours to do all of this immense work ( all the while Spencer Brewed another beer). It was named by Pam Armstrong and is refreshing at any point in the day. <big>Guest Stouts that we will have rotating through out the month:</big> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Exxxcaliber Imperial Stout Roots Brewing Company - Portland, OR 8.6% ABV 48 IBU </div> Brewed in the imperial style using a variety of specialty malts and Noble Hops. This stout has wonderful chocolate and coffee notes and a smooth, hearty and complex body. <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ten FIDY Imperial Stout Oskar Blues - Lyons, CO 10.5% ABV 98 IBU </div> This titanic, immensely viscous stout is loaded with inimitable flavors of chocolate covered caramel and coffee and hide a hefty 98 IBUs underneath the smooth blanket of malt. Ten FIDY is made with enormous amounts of two-row malt, chocolate malt, roasted barley, flaked oats and hops. Ten FIDY is the ultimate celebration of dark malts and boundary-stretching beer. <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Oatis Oatmeal Stout Ninkasi - Eugene, OR 7.5% ABV 45 IBU </div> Dark complex and delicious, strong, flavorful Oatmeal Stout. Enough hops to balance the large amounts of dark and roasted malts, with the addition of oatmeal creating a creamy smooth drinkability. <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout North Coast Brewing - Fort Bragg, CA 9% ABV 75 IBU </div> Produced in the tradition of 18th century English brewers who supplied the court of Russia's Catherine the Great, Old Rasputin seems to develop a cult following where ever it goes. It is a rich intense brew with big complex flavors and a warming finish. <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Abyss Imperial Stout Deschutes Brewery - Bend, OR 11% ABV 65 IBU 4th Release </div> This imperial stout was aged in wood, and poured out roasty, woody and sweet. Very well balanced with the roastiness up front but not overpowering. This stout is smooth with hints of licorice, chocolate, molasses, graham cracker and bownies. <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stone Imperial Russian Stout Stone Brewing Company - Escondido, CA 10.5% ABV 90+ IBU </div> Brewed in the authentic style of an imperial Russian stout, this beer is massive. Intensely aromatic (notes of anise, black currants, coffee roastiness, alcohol) and heavy on the palate, this brew goes where few can - and fewer dare to even try. The style originated from Czarist Russia's demand for even thicker English stouts. Expect our version of this mysterious brew to pour like Siberian crude and taste even heavier. </div> <div style="text-align: right;"> <a href="Feb.Newsletter.html#top">Back to top</a> </div> <img src="hr.gif" alt="" width="326" height="10"> <h2 style="text-align: left;">Call out to Homebrewer's: Bring us your Beer!! </h2> <div style="text-align: justify;">The Fort George Brewer + Public House will celebrate and honor the art of homebrewing at a special beer-pairing dinner on Wednesday, April 14th. Homebrewing provides the passion, creativity and innovation that resurrected and sustains the craft brewing movement. Homage will be paid to these pioneers by featuring a five-course dinner designed to compliment each beer. Homebrewers interested in featuring their beer should submit a two-bottle sample to the Fort George Brewery by 5pm, Friday March 26th for consideration. Beers will be selected based on quality, variety, creativity and compatibility with food. Only one beer per brewer will be chosen, though brewers may submit as many varieties as they wish. The homebrewer must be able to provide tasting samples for a dinner of 38 guests (approximately 3.5 gallons or 38 12oz bottles) by Monday, April 12th and will have a seat of honor at the dinner. No homebrew will be bought or sold. Selected Homebrewers will be notified by April 1st and the full menu will be released at this time. This dinner has become a much anticipated grand finale to our annual series of brewers dinners The brewing talent on display has challenged the kitchen to create an exceptionally innovative menu and the atmosphere has been jubilant, as each brewer describes their beer and passion for homebrewing. Please call (503) 325-PINT for submission information, reservations to the dinner or other inquiries.

For only $25 you can get a stout taster tray and a shirt! Below you will find a little more information about each beer we will have on tap this month. </div> <img style="width: 377px; height: 282px;" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2776/4337402362_013f301e7f_b.jpg"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <big>Deb helped me take this shot of our 8 Stout Taster Tray! Mmmmmm</big> </div> The Murky Pearl 7.8% ABV <div style="text-align: justify;">Right before we transferred this beer to the fermentor, we ran the wort through 3 buckets of Willapa Bay Oysters. We let the oysters sit in the wort until they started to pop open infusing the beer with the briny oyster juice. Although you cannot taste an immense amount of oyster in this stout, you can taste a hint of salty goodness that lingers in this beer. Drinking this beer is truly like kissing the ocean. <div style="text-align: center;">Coffee Girl 9.5% ABV </div> Dry hopped with 8 lbs. of coffee beans from Ethiopia called Halle Sclassie Sodamo.The beans give a bit of a fruity taste along with hints of cardamom, cream, ginger and caramel. This is a perfect blend for our coffee girl beer that has a strong malty and chocolate taste. The beans have been sitting and aging with the beer for two and a half weeks and in time, the beans and brew have evolved into something spectacular. <div style="text-align: center;">Bourbon BBL Cavatica Stout 8.6% ABV </div> Our Cavatica Stout was left to sit and age in Wild Turkey barrels for two and a half months. The day before we transferred the stout into a serving tank we had one of the Wild Turkey barrels explode on us sending delicious stout all down Duane St. It never smelled so good on this block. What was once a very delicious bourbon stout has become a limited edition bourbon stout. <div style="text-align: center;">Badda Bing Cherry Stout 8.2% ABV </div> Although one of our most time consuming beers to make, the Badda Bing stout was worth the time. Dry hopped with 40 lbs. of cherries this stout radiates a cherry tartness that refuses to be ignored. Before we put all of the cherries into the fermentor, we had to pit all of the cherries and sanitize them. This in itself took 6 people two hours to do all of this immense work ( all the while Spencer Brewed another beer). It was named by Pam Armstrong and is refreshing at any point in the day. <big>Guest Stouts that we will have rotating through out the month:</big> <div style="text-align: center;">Exxxcaliber Imperial Stout Roots Brewing Company - Portland, OR 8.6% ABV 48 IBU </div> Brewed in the imperial style using a variety of specialty malts and Noble Hops. This stout has wonderful chocolate and coffee notes and a smooth, hearty and complex body. <div style="text-align: center;">Ten FIDY Imperial Stout Oskar Blues - Lyons, CO 10.5% ABV 98 IBU </div> This titanic, immensely viscous stout is loaded with inimitable flavors of chocolate covered caramel and coffee and hide a hefty 98 IBUs underneath the smooth blanket of malt. Ten FIDY is made with enormous amounts of two-row malt, chocolate malt, roasted barley, flaked oats and hops. Ten FIDY is the ultimate celebration of dark malts and boundary-stretching beer. <div style="text-align: center;">Oatis Oatmeal Stout Ninkasi - Eugene, OR 7.5% ABV 45 IBU </div> Dark complex and delicious, strong, flavorful Oatmeal Stout. Enough hops to balance the large amounts of dark and roasted malts, with the addition of oatmeal creating a creamy smooth drinkability. <div style="text-align: center;">Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout North Coast Brewing - Fort Bragg, CA 9% ABV 75 IBU </div> Produced in the tradition of 18th century English brewers who supplied the court of Russia's Catherine the Great, Old Rasputin seems to develop a cult following where ever it goes. It is a rich intense brew with big complex flavors and a warming finish. <div style="text-align: center;">The Abyss Imperial Stout Deschutes Brewery - Bend, OR 11% ABV 65 IBU 4th Release </div> This imperial stout was aged in wood, and poured out roasty, woody and sweet. Very well balanced with the roastiness up front but not overpowering. This stout is smooth with hints of licorice, chocolate, molasses, graham cracker and bownies. <div style="text-align: center;">Stone Imperial Russian Stout Stone Brewing Company - Escondido, CA 10.5% ABV 90+ IBU </div> Brewed in the authentic style of an imperial Russian stout, this beer is massive. Intensely aromatic (notes of anise, black currants, coffee roastiness, alcohol) and heavy on the palate, this brew goes where few can - and fewer dare to even try. The style originated from Czarist Russia's demand for even thicker English stouts. Expect our version of this mysterious brew to pour like Siberian crude and taste even heavier. </div> <div style="text-align: right;"> <a href="Feb.Newsletter.html#top">Back to top</a> </div> <img src="hr.gif" alt="" width="326" height="10"> <h2 style="text-align: left;">Call out to Homebrewer's: Bring us your Beer!! </h2> <div style="text-align: justify;">The Fort George Brewer + Public House will celebrate and honor the art of homebrewing at a special beer-pairing dinner on Wednesday, April 14th. Homebrewing provides the passion, creativity and innovation that resurrected and sustains the craft brewing movement. Homage will be paid to these pioneers by featuring a five-course dinner designed to compliment each beer. Homebrewers interested in featuring their beer should submit a two-bottle sample to the Fort George Brewery by 5pm, Friday March 26th for consideration. Beers will be selected based on quality, variety, creativity and compatibility with food. Only one beer per brewer will be chosen, though brewers may submit as many varieties as they wish. The homebrewer must be able to provide tasting samples for a dinner of 38 guests (approximately 3.5 gallons or 38 12oz bottles) by Monday, April 12th and will have a seat of honor at the dinner. No homebrew will be bought or sold. Selected Homebrewers will be notified by April 1st and the full menu will be released at this time. This dinner has become a much anticipated grand finale to our annual series of brewers dinners The brewing talent on display has challenged the kitchen to create an exceptionally innovative menu and the atmosphere has been jubilant, as each brewer describes their beer and passion for homebrewing. Please call (503) 325-PINT for submission information, reservations to the dinner or other inquiries.

At least 8 stouts will be featured this year, including Badda Bing, a flanders-style sour cherry stout; The Murky Pearl, brewed with Willapa Bay oysters; Bourbon Barrel-aged Cavatica Stout; Spank Stout, brewed with 3 varieties of hot pepper; and the ever-popular Coffee Girl Stout, made with espresso.  Several guest stouts will also be on tap, including The Abyss from Deschutes Brewery.  A flight of all the stouts is available for a blind tasting, and commemorative Stout Month t-shirts will be for sale. The annual "Stout & Oysters" Brewer's Dinner will take place on February 10th, featuring 5 courses of mouth-watering oysters paired with selected stouts.  Tickets for the Brewer's Dinner are $55, or $100 for two. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> <td class="mainbar" width="326" align="left" valign="top"> <h2>Black-eyed Peas bring good luck for 2010 </h2> <div style="text-align: justify;">Happy New Years everyone!  Here is a very tasty way to bring in the New Year.  Aside from soothing the stomach from the beers consumed from the evening before, its has been a long-standing tradition to eat a bowl of black-eyed peas, also known as the cow pea, to bring luck for the year to come. During the time of the civil war Union troops, led by General William T. Sherman, looted and destroyed all food supplies they could in the south.  At the time the black-eyed pea was only considered suitable for raising livestock so it was left alone. As the beans cook they swell and represent prosperity, combine that with a little cured pork product and you have your self a prosperous and tasty bowl of beans. The following recipe is pretty basic.  You can fill it out with the addition of collard greens, hot sauce and corn bread. Cheers, Dana MacAuley, Head Chef Ingredients:                            1 1/2 pounds fresh black-eyed                            peas, rinsed, drained              8 to 12 ounces bacon, diced              1 1/2 cups chopped onion              1 cup chopped red and green bell                      pepper              1/2 cup chopped celery              1 clove garlic, minced              1 1/2 cups water              1 can (approx. 14.5 ounces)                                 fire-roasted diced tomatoes, or                           chili-seasoned tomatoes             1 teaspoon chili powder             1 teaspoon salt             1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper             1/2 teaspoon dried leaf oregano Preparation: 1.  Put rinsed fresh black-eyed peas in a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker. 2.  Cook bacon in a large skillet until softened; add onions, peppers, and celery and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender.  Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute longer 3.  Add the vegetable mixture to the slow cooker along with the water. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours, or until peas are tender. Add remaining ingredients and continue cooking for 1 to 2 hours longer. </div> <img src="hr.gif" alt="" width="326" height="10"> <h2>2010 Mug Club filling fast </h2> <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: Rockwell; font-weight: bold;">The 2010 Mug Club sales kicked off on Tuesday<img style="width: 222px; height: 326px;" alt="o" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2752/4253504469_8b392fe1c3_b.jpg" align="left">, December 1. 25 new mug numbers were available for sale and sold out that same day.  On January 1, 2010, at 11:00 AM all mugs not renewed went up for sale to the general public.The price for the mugs are $85.00, and enables mug holders to get a 21.5 oz beer for the price of a pint, as well as be eligible to win in the monthly t-shirt drawing.  The glass mugs have been imported from Germany this year, and each one is engraved with the Fort George logo and the mug holder's number.</div> <a href="#top">Back to top</a> <img src="hr.gif" alt="" width="326" height="10"> <h2 style="font-family: Arial Rounded MT Bold;">Photo of the Month</h2> <img style="width: 315px; height: 158px;" alt="oo" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2804/4151634562_99b074c5cd_b.jpg"> <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold; font-family: Rockwell;">Spencer's friends stopped by to fill up there bus with our used fryer oil to use as biodiesel.
