About Fort George
Established in 2007, Fort George is a family-owned and operated craft brewery based in Astoria, Oregon. The company began operations by brewing on an 8.5-barrel system located in the back of their pub, and they quickly found that demand for their beer outpaced production capacity.
Fort George is an active member of the coastal community, operating a variety of facilities including two restaurants, a taproom, two research and development breweries, and a large-scale production facility. Additionally, the brewery manages a craft-focused distribution division that represents over 200 breweries, wineries, and cideries. While Fort George distributes its own original beers throughout the Pacific Northwest, the heart of the operation remains in Astoria.
The site has expanded from its origins as a single brewpub into a city block that features restaurants, tasting rooms, breweries, community spaces, and music venues.
