Fort George Brewing: February is Stout Month
From the desk of the fine folks at Fort George Brewing:
February is Stout Month: Bourbon Aged Cavatica & Coffee Girl Unveiled
Stout Month, a celebration of dark, rich, bold beers begins February 1st at the Fort George Brewery & Public House in Astoria, Oregon. There will be eight eclectic and extremely coveted stouts within the craft beer community on draught.
These specialty stouts are some of the hardest to find in the nation, made in very small batches, due to the expensive ingredients, and extra time that makes the beers so good.
For example, in the bourbon barrel conditioning process, brewers order barrels from Kentucky, age the beers in the barrels, and then have to get the beer back out of them. Barrel conditioning of stouts develops extremely complex flavors.
You can try this style of stout for yourself with the Fort George’s new Bourbon Barrel Aged Cavatica Stout.
“It has a very subtle, oak and peaty bourbon flavor, layered into the ordinarily fabulous flavors you’d find in our Cavatica Stout,” said owner, Jack Harris.
The Fort George Brewery will also be unveiling in February, Coffee Girl Imperial Stout, an espresso stout. The union of coffee and beer was only a matter of time, especially to pub patrons, who have been lobbying for co-owner, Chris Nemlowill to materialize in beer, his marriage to the owner of a local coffee house, Coffee Girl.
“Dark, rich, and malty, balanced with a rich espresso aroma and an aftertaste of roasted dark chocolate, you just might fall in love with the Coffee Girl too,” said Nemlowill.
Special events for stout month at the Fort George Brewery & Public House include a craft beer appreciation class for women on February 9th, and a beer pairing dinner including stouts and oysters on February 13th.
Ask for a taster tray so you can try all the stouts on draught at the Fort George. The lineup includes: Cavatica Stout—Astoria, OR, Bourbon Barrel Aged Cavatica Stout—Astoria, OR, Coffee Girl Imperial Stout (Espresso Stout)—Astoria, OR, Stone Russian Imperial Stout—San Diego, CA, Deschutes Abyss Stout—Bend, OR, Caldera Old Growth Imperial Stout—Ashland, OR, Lucky Lab Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout—Ashland, OR, and Rogue Chocolate Stout—Newport, OR.
