Beer Lovers,
It seems appropriate to take a picture of the recently tapped, new batch of XVI Chapel on this gorgeous (some might say, “Georgeous”) Sunday evening when the music is playing and the vibe is great at the Fort George. This batch is the ‘Cheers to Belgian Beers’ festival batch which we fermented with Inglemusnter yeast and pleased the crowds at lucky lab in Portland with one of the favorite beers of the festival.
Speaking of festivals, this Saturday at 3:30pm the Fort George Liberate the Ales festival will begin out in the parking lot. We’ll be serving up smoked ribs, house-made cornbread, coleslaw and watermelon with Fort George beers. Los Comatosos will be opening up the evening music at 4pm and Ma Barley will party from 7pm until expulsions in the sky occur.
July 11th will be the next Second Saturday of the Month BBQ. The Dry County Cooks will be playing at 2:30pm and the BBQ goes until 7pm.
I’ve also attached a press release on the 4th for more info…
Cheers,
Chris Nemlowill
