Astoria Ale Trail

On your journey, your local guides knowledgeable in the history and making of Astoria beers, will lead the way to your first destination. As the bus makes its way through town, sit back, relax and take in the stunning views of the Columbia River right outside your window. Fort George Brewery + Public House was established in 2007 and specializes in innovative and exciting flavors such as coffee stout or even wasabi-flavored ginger ale. During your visit, you might want to try "The Quick Wit" Belgian style ale that's made with organic pale and wheat malts, ground coriander and lemongrass. Or you could sip any one of the seasonal fruit ales. Then, you’re off to Rogue Ales. Occupying a former Bumble Bee tuna cannery, Rogue sits on Astoria Riverwalk, a five-mile river trail that's lined with hotels, restaurants, parks and a nearly 100-year-old restored trolley train. Made with the finest hops and barley malt, Rogue Ales are bottled using an oxygen absorbing cap, and brown glass for better shelf life. Some of the barrel aged beers and ales you might want to try include "Chipotle Ale," which is deep golden ale that's made with roasted chipotle peppers and produces an eye opening chili flavor with a malty, smoky aroma and smooth, crisp flavor. Your last stop is The Wet Dog, where a variety of beers are handcrafted using a wide range of hops and grains to create unique flavors. The pub's riverfront deck is open during the summer and offers a fantastic view of the Columbia River. Some of the beers you might try include "Strawberry Blonde," which attributes its light pink to golden opaque hue to the barley, wheat and 90 pounds of strawberries. Note: Participants must be 21 years of age to consume alcohol.
