Fort George spotted in California

There was some talk about it on the Bay Area Supermarket & Bottlseshop 2021 thread. Roughly 1.5 months ago.

 

Fort George opened a new production facility earlier this year, so they might expand to cover more of the west coast at some point.

That said, the Distribution page on their site makes their position pretty clear: "Fort George beer is distributed only in the Pacific Northwest." (In this case, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.) All their labels include a logo which makes the same point.

Shrug. I don't imagine that would stop them from doing some one-off distro to California every now and then.

 

Good karma and Pizza Flora in San Jose pouring 2 beers on tap including the delicious 3-Way IPA.

 

Toronado SF had Vortex on in July... First time I'd seen it in the Bay.

 

Looks like K&L got some in

 

Liquid Gold has some too. Are their beers good?

 

Yes, yes they are.

 

Drinking a Field of Greens from Liquid Gold right now. The Fort George Field of Greens is my favorite rotating IPA series in the Northwest, especially since Head Full of Dynamite from Fremont fell off a cliff.

Would love to see their barrel aged stouts more often in the Bay.

 

We need some Boneyard cans down here. There I said it.....

 

Varietal Beer Co. is in Sunnyside, WA. They make some good beers.

 

If it's the NZ 3-Way it's one of the best (and cheapest) hazies I've had this year.

 

You guys get Block 15 or Barley Browns yet?

 

Can't we drink it all here.

 

Thinking. We don't see much California beers up here. My local had a keg of Full Circle beer.. a pale. It sold well ..but apart from Modern World we see little. Lagunitas excepted

 

I Fn wish! But those along with pFriem and others provide me substantial motivation for at least 1 annual OR wilderness trip to also mule back their delicious offerings.

 

@Reidrover and @sharpski, speaking of Barley Browns are their cans a steady option in Portland or Bend, or sporadic?

 

Pretty steady now..not sure how long this will continue though
