Fort George Brewing’s Lupulin Ecstasy Festival attracts beers from near and far. June 13th
Those fun-loving hopheads at Fort George Brewery sure know how to have a good time. In the winter, they embrace the darkness with the Festival of Dark Arts. Then, about six months later, to welcome the summer, they celebrate the light with the annual Lupulin Ecstasy Festival.
This year’s brewery lineup is shaping up nicely, with some breweries not often seen around these parts. Breweries like Burial Beer Co. (Asheville, NC), Hop Butcher to the Word (Chicago), Alvarado Street Brewing (Monterey, CA), ISM Brewing (Long Beach, CA), Cellarmaker Brewing (Bay Area, CA), Pinthouse Brewing (Austin, TX), and more TBA. Of course, lots of beer from PNW faves like Ravenna Brewing, Reuben’s Brews, Brujos Brewing, Kings & Daughters, Great Notion, and many, many more. See the list here.
You are invited to join Fort George Brewery in Astoria on June 13th for a day of all kinds of beer, including hoppy beers, along with entertainment, music, food, and general merriment. Here are details straight from the brewery.
