Fort George Brewery is located on the historical site of Fort Astoria,
established in 1811 by employees of the Astor Expedition. They offer delicious
food to complement a great selection of locally brewed beers. We recommend
trying the 1811 Lager, the Official Bicentennial Beer of Astoria, and Spruce
Budd Ale, an occasionally offered beer that is brewed with tips of a spruce
tree. Fun fact: Spruce beer dates back to 1748 when it was developed by French
Canadians. It would have likely been enjoyed by many voyageurs making their way
to the Pacific Northwest.
This project was made possible in part by a grant from Travel Oregon.
