Whatever island you're going to - metaphorical island, physical island, emotional island, spiritual island - it's important to consider what you're taking with you. For us, it's a dog-eared copy of "The Rights of Man", a squeegee, and a case of Island Towns, a Tropical West Coast Style IPA.

You can get a copy of "The Rights of Man" at most used bookstores or on the internet for .95 cents (plus 11.99 for shipping), or read it for free on Project Gutenberg. You can get a case of Island Towns in the online store at the link in bio, or anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, wherever you get good beer.

Live Music in the Lovell Taproom every Sunday Night from 6-8PM? Why do we do it? Well, it’s a long story but it all begins with a magic portal located in the floor of the Lovell building.

Built in 1922 by Sherman Lovell to house his growing Auto Dealership, a state-of-the-art showroom and new Auto Repair shop, the building was spared from the conflagration that consumed a large part of Downtown Astoria in 1923. This was due in large part to Lovell himself and his (armed) insistence that no one blow the building up with dynamite to create a fire stop.

Nearly 100 years later, in 2019, we were brewing beer around the clock to keep up with demand - the Lovell building brimmed with brite tanks and much of the floor space which had previously held automobiles and then random junk for several decades was taken up by brewing operations and the beer itself in towering tanks custom built to maximize what little vertical space remained once we’d maxed out the footprint of the old Auto Shop.

This is when we installed the magic portal. With no more space to expand, we turned to magic to make room for more beer. Several meetings with magicians, spiritualists and mediums confirmed what we had suspected: the characterful history of the building itself would allow us to build a second brewery on The Other Side. This brewery is still in use today. It’s where all the stouts come from. While we are happy to continue using The Other Side Brewery to brew dark and delicious delicacies, we’re well aware that the fragile, sticky membrane of reality that separates us from The Other Side must be maintained by good vibes and friendly sounds.

And that’s why we have free, live music in the Lovell Taproom every Sunday Night from 6-8PM.

You cannot get any Fresher than Fresh IPA.

We've been brewing Fresh IPA every year for nearly two decades. Our Fresh Hop beers are brewed with Fresh Hops on the hot side of the brew, meaning the majority of the flavor is coming from the Fresh Hops. And it also means you can keep drinking them for weeks after packaging without any grassy off-flavors. But, obviously, Fresh IPA is best consumed ~Fresh~.

You can get Fresh IPA at the Pub and throughout the PNW now, or ship it direct to your door in OR at the link in bio. Straight from the bine, to the tank, to your pint glass.

At just 2.8% ABV, it's a big IPA in a little IPA's shoes. Quiet. Understated. Chill. Putting all of our signature hop flavor into a beer so small was no easy feat. Fortunately, all our brewers are trained in the fundamentals of magic. But we’re not here to boast. You might even say we’re... low key.

Low Key Small IPA returns to the Pubs this Wednesday, making its way throughout the PNW soon after. Beer ships direct to your door in OR at the link in bio.

Un Seis is a test batch (test batch uno) for a spring collaboration with a brewery known for Seises. This is just one Seis. There may be two Seises. There may be three. There may be more. Only one fact is a mathematical certainty - when you add a great IPA to another great IPA, the sum is six.

It’s a crisp, dry West Coast IPA with a whole lot of fresh fruit and citrus flavor. Collaboration details coming in the future, but let us know what you think in the meantime. Releasing on draft only at the Pubs today.

Vacation Destination 🤝 Destination Vacation. It's a two-part IPA collaboration with @pfriembeer Family Brewers.

Same ingredients, same river, different ideas, different beers. It's either a West Coast IPA, Vacation Destination, brewed in Hood River, or a Hazy IPA, Destination Vacation, brewed in Astoria.

Same river, same region, same dedication to quality and craft, different beers. Take your Destination Vacation (Hazy IPA) to your Vacation Destination (WC IPA) in a matching set of 16oz 4packs from pFriem & Fort George this fall.

Releasing at ours, and pFriem Pubs, this Thursday. Available wherever you get good beer throughout the PNW soon.

Crysknife is a melange of hop fruit & spice with multitudes of Citra, Celeste and Vic Secret hops. Brewed from a shared love of hazy IPAs and science fiction classics, this trusty collaboration with @omfbrewing out of Denver, Colorado should never leave your side. For safety reasons.

A crysknife is a blade made from the tooth of a sandworm in the novel Dune by Frank Herbert. It's the weapon of choice for the Fremen from the planet Arrakis. We like to think that this would be their beer of choice.

Releasing at the Pubs this Saturday, making its way throughout the PNW soon.

Last year, after many years of talking about what we were going to do during the winter instead of hibernate, we threw our first-ever Beer Tree Fest: a wintertime celebration of Tree Beer.

This year, in addition to longtime staff and customer favorites, Magnanimous and Spruce Budd, we’ll have special cask beers, bierstacheln, Christmas trees for sale, tree-themed vendors, a big tree made out of beer kegs, live music, and guest Tree Beers on tap from some of the best brewers in the country.

Beer Tree Fest is open to the public, but if you want to drink the tree beer on tap, you’ll need a Beer Tree Fest Glass and some tokens. You can purchase both in advance at the link in bio.

Fort George beer is always fresh. But it’s never as FRESH as this year’s FRESH HOP Fields of Green. We recently picked up a truckload of Fresh Vista Hops from McKay Farms in Independence, Oregon - that’s just a few hours from here - for this beer. We can almost see their hops from our backyard.

As the days grow shorter and the sky sinks lower, the green hillsides of Astoria fade to yellow and red, but you can step out into these perfectly lush Fields of Green anytime.

This special, limited Fresh Hop Fields of Green releases at the Pub this weekend and is available for pre-order in the online store now. Shop online at the link in bio.

Like a chart-topping, alt-rock album from the mid-1990s, a Munich-Style Dunkel Lager is intended to be consumed at scale: bready, slightly spicy, but never too rich to drink by the Maßkrug (that’s a 1-liter mug) or listen to in its entirety at a house party.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Dunkel, the latest brainchild (beer?) of head brewer Michal is pouring at the Pub in Astoria this Friday.

Simcoe Architect, Mirrored Realities and Quality of Consciousness all won medals last week at the Fresh Hop @bestofcraftbeerawards. And this is the third year in a row with a gold medal for the Architect series - a collab with our friends at @ghosttownbrewing.

How are you going to try them all?

Never fear! You can build a custom mixed case of Fresh Hop 4packs in the online store RIGHT NOW. Available by the half case, full case, or individual 4pack. Direct shipping in Oregon at the link in bio.

PS - Fresh Hop beer ships when packaged! We’re not wizards and we can’t ship you beer that doesn’t exist yet! If your custom case includes a beer that doesn’t exist yet, we will ship the whole case when that beer is packaged (next up: Fresh Hop Fields of Green packaging mid this week).

What do you imagine when you think of brewing science? Is it a bearded man in flannel brandishing a flask? Is it a spreadsheet of infinite tabs? Is it a flushed and cheerful monk sampling his wares from a huge oak barrel? If you pictured plotting the course of flavor particles as a geometric form through non-Euclidean space, then you’re getting closer to the origins of Mirrored Realities - a West Coast-style IPA made with never-before-brewed hops and cutting-edge hop products.

We partnered with the fine folks at @newriverdistillingco to create a custom ultra-low-temperature, solvent-less Liquid Lupulin from a special, hand-picked blend of our favorite hops. You’ll taste hop flavors you didn’t even know were possible with this new Fort George Hop Drizzle. That’s what we called it. It’s weird but science is weird.

You can taste BOTH Mirrored Realities at the Pub this weekend in two batches: one with Fresh Hops and one without (in science, there’s always a control).

Beer ships direct to your door in OR. Keep an eye out for both Mirrored Realities at your favorite PNW beer stops soon.
