Fruit Beer Fest 6/8-6/10
Fruit is one of our favorite things to brew with. It gets a bad name from some macho beer drinkers, but can be done right. This fest is an awesome example of that. In its second year, it is now back and bigger than ever. Hosted at the Burnside Brewery, there couldn’t be a better location for a Portland Beer Week event. Fort George is representing with a return of South. South is an extra special Pinot Noir barrel aged beer that is also conditioned on raspberries. Check out more here at the Fruit Beer Fest website.
