About Fort George Electric Surfboard DBL IPA
Fort George Brewery was founded in 2007 by Chris Nemlowill and Jack Harris in Astoria, Oregon, on the site of the oldest American settlement on the West Coast. The original Fort Astoria post was built in 1811 and later renamed Fort George during the War of 1812, and the brewery now occupies historic early-twentieth-century buildings in town. Fort George has become one of the Oregon Coast’s most respected breweries. Electric Surfboard is their luxury double imperial IPA, brewed with Apollo, Ekuanot, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops.
