Hey Portland! While we have sold our taprooms and brewhouse to , we have contracted Lazy Days to continue to brew our core and seasonal beers at their brewery. Essentially, we’re renting brewing space from the lovely folks at Lazy Days, so the Ex Novo beers you see at your local taprooms and bottle shops, will be fresh, brewed with the same process, same recipes, and on the same brew deck they’ve been brewed on for the last 9+ years.

Additionally, we’re still shipping freshly packaged beers from our brewing facility in New Mexico, to our distributor, Running Man, so keep your eyes peeled for some amazing releases we have coming in the next few months!

✨New Beer Release✨ Haut Goss🤫🔥

Is it a Hot Lager or Cold IPA? Either way, we made it. A cold fermented American IPA using experimental hop 17701, Simcoe and Amarillo leaves this brew light bodied with notes of melon, stone fruit and citrus.

We’re kicking off our barrel-aged weekend with a very special release!

🐦‍⬛Nevermore 2023 is a barrel-aged black barleywine with smoked figs and cacao nibs. This year’s rendition is a blend of 8 barrels; 2 former Oregon Pinot Noir barrels, and 6 Willett Kentucky Bourbon Barrels.

The wine barrels we used produce a dark cherry character, that finely compliments the vanilla that comes from the oak, the earthy whiskey and rich malt character of the base beer.

📍Available on tap, and packaged to go, at both Oregon locations.

Nobody does Stouts like Fort George Brewery, so fun to get to collab on a beautiful beer together - get it while you can!!!

We love stout. We’ve made hundreds of stouts. We’ve tasted thousands of stouts. We’ve perfected dozens of stouts. But we’ve only canned a few stouts.

Last year we worked with Ex Novo Brewing to brew a stout worthy of both of our reputations. As Dystopian Morning Light breaks over the rim of your glass, you’ll find dark cherry and a blazing, almost savory roast with little spicy hints of barrel char and whiskey. So silky. So smooth. Dystopian Morning Light was brewed to honor the darkest month, aged for 20 MONTHS in Willett Distillery Whiskey and Stagg Bourbon barrels, and canned in 12oz 4-packs.

Cases ship direct to your door in OR or WA at https://fortgeorgebrewery.com/shop/ - Cans and draft release across the block tomorrow. 🖤
