Holiday Ale Dinner
Wednesday, November 19th 2008
Beer Lovers,
Sure the forecast is calling for a week of rain and the grey clouds are rolling up the Columbia River as I type this email, but I assure you relief is on the way. The line up for our Holiday Ale Dinner is sure to whisk away seasonal depression disorder for at least one evening. Please see the attached menu for beer and food pairings. An all-inclusive cost of $65 a person will guarantee that you leave with a brighter outlook on the grey days to come. We are also still offering a season pass discount for people who purchase 4 brewer’s dinner tickets at once. The cost for the season pass is $200 all-inclusive. The Holiday Ale Dinner is on November 19th from 6-9pm. Seats are on sale now and are sure to fill up fast. So call 503-325-PINT(7468) to reserve your spot.

Introducing North II – Grand Crüe
North II – Grand Crüe
OG: 1.074
FG: 1.014
ABV: 8%
IBU: 50
Sugar, spice, and everything nice… this is a beer to cuddle up with in front of the fireplace. The best way to describe North II Grand Crüe is a Belgian-style barleywine. This is the second in a series of Fort George beers created for wintertime enjoyment, the Holiday Ale Festival in December, plus the Great Alaskan Beer and Barleywine Festival in January. Our brewers weaved together ingredients from all over the globe including Canadian Pilsner Malt, Golden Promise from Scotland, Belgian Wit yeast, raw Hawaiian sugar, and oats from the mainland USA. North II is gently warming, with a spiciness of cloves and cinnamon, a creamy body, and a ripe peach finish. Come in and enjoy a glass. See you there.

Northwest Brewcup 08'
This year the Fort George Brewery is helping put together the Northwest Brewcup and donating proceeds to the Clatsop County Food Bank. Any way you can spread the word about the event would be greatly appreciated. We are glad to see the proceeds going to a great cause this year and want to support the festival in any way we can. Below is a press release we have put together for the event. The beer list is great and growing everyday. A lot of beers available at the festival this year are not usually available on the coast. Please feel free to call if you have any questions, want to participate or know someone who wants to bring beer.
Thank you,
Chris Nemlowill
Press Release
Beer Festival Brewing in Astoria
Summer may be ending, but things are just heating up on the coast! You’ll have a chance to taste some of the best craft beers the region has to offer in Astoria at the 7th annual Pacific Northwest Brewcup this September. Festival organizers aim to have a variety of beers, which are new and diverse to the coastal beer drinking community.
The focus of this year’s festival is to promote handcrafted artisan brews. An estimated three-dozen northwest microbreweries will have beers available for sampling. Root beers and ginger ales will also be available, making this a family-friendly event. There will be food vendors, three days of live music, and an opportunity to vote for your favorite beer.
This year, organizers from the Baked Alaska Restaurant are joining forces with Astoria’s newest brewery, the Fort George Brewery + Public House. The Fort George hopes to make this an especially brewer-friendly event, and is inviting other regional brewers to participate and attend.
Proceeds from the festival will go to the Clatsop County Food Bank. Nearly one third of the county’s residents tapped into the food bank last year to help their families. A new food pantry is in the works to meet the growing need and volunteers are gearing up for a long winter, providing to families in especially tough economic times.
The Pacific Northwest Brewcup takes place in downtown Astoria September 26th, 27th and 28th at the Astoria Public Plaza on Duane between 11th and 12th streets.
The Band Line-up
Friday 2:30-4:30 Rowdy James Band
5:00 7:00 StormTrain
7:30-9:45 HindSight 20/20
Saturday 2:30-4:30 Richard T and The Swing Cats
5:00-7:00 The Distractions
7:30-9:45 Broken Soviet
Sunday TBA
For more information call (503) 325-PINT and ask for Jack or Chris.
Thank you,

Beer Dinners are Back at the Fort George Seasonal Food and Beer Pairing Events
This fall and winter the party will be moving indoors at the Fort George Brewery + Public House in Astoria. The beer-pairing dinners are back for the second year in a row. Customers have a chance to attend these special events, with seasonal cuisine that breaks from the normal casual-fare pub menu.
