Fort George Brewery just introduced the newest member of its year-round beer lineup: Fort George Pilsner. The Astoria-based brewery creates a lot of beer every year, and pilsner has fit into the rotation since the beginning, but now it is part of the regular roster. At this point, nobody should be surprised that pilsner is the latest beer to make the list. As I predicted, Pilsner is the new IPA—the darling of the craft beer world. Of course, I made that prediction about 12 years ago, but still, I was correct. Here is the announcement from Fort George Brewery.
Greetings from Astoria
Have you heard about the beer here? It’s legendary. And there’s a reason for that. Fort George is located at the confluence of innumerable rivers and streams, flowing out from the great forested coastal mountain ranges – right on the uppermost edge of Oregon State. We have some of the best, cleanest, most brewable water in the world and we brew our beer within a day’s drive of the farms that produce most of our ingredients.

We’ve been brewing Pilsners since we opened our doors in 2007. After years of limited space and high demand, of packing as many turns as possible into our brew schedule, we finally expanded our operations enough to experiment with the long, slow, cool fermentation process that a great Pilsner requires. We’ve tasted and trialed every single hop and malt variety available to us and this is where we landed. A beer so good we called it Pilsner.

Fort George Pilsner is made with Noble hops, Pilsner malt and Astoria’s naturally soft, clean, slow-sand filtered water. Our water, already delicious and balanced straight out of the tap, recalls the quality of the water that inspired the original brewers of Pilsner, in the Czech city of Pilsen, to craft a beer that reflected the tastes and qualities of their region.
It takes a lot of spirit and imagination to make something new, not to mention all the time and resources. And sometimes, to make something new, you have to make something old. Fort George Pilsner is the quality and tradition of Pilsner with the spirit of Fort George. It’s a Pilsner for everyone, anywhere. We’re proud to be contributing to the legacy of Pilsner with the best, crispest, cleanest, most adventurous Pilsner we can produce.
Fort George Pilsner is a year-round packaged Pilsner from Fort George. Pilsner will be available in 12oz 6-pks and on draft all over the Pacific Northwest beginning in Fall 2025.
Like all of our 12oz cans – 1% of the proceeds from Pilsner go straight to local, environmentally-focused nonprofits through 1% for the Planet.
