There’s collaboration, and then there’s whatever Fort George Brewery keeps summoning out of the Astoria fog — a sort of cosmic hop diplomacy in which stainless tanks double as observatories and every joint project feels like a portal opening. For more than a decade, Fort George has treated collaborations — 3-Way IPA, Dark Arts collabs — not as branding exercises but as sacred mischief: pairing with breweries and artists who share the same appetite for risk, wonder, and the joyful destruction of routine. The results are beers that feel charged — radiant, unruly, full of that alchemical spark only possible when two creative forces decide the world needs something stranger, brighter, louder than either could make alone.
This is Fort George in its purest, most mischievous form: one foot planted in the history of the waterfront, the other stepping boldly into wherever the next creative portal opens. They brew with pizza-slinging hop assassins, river-prophet IPA mystics, Japanese cosmic wanderers, and, when the mood is right, they join forces with the wild fermentation sorcerers at de Garde Brewing to create something that ignores time the way ocean tides ignore clocks. Every collaboration feels inevitable in hindsight — as if the universe nudged these breweries together just to see what would happen if they said yes.
Which brings us to today’s glowing, barrel-bent, hop-saturated lineup at Peaks & Pints — the Fort George Collaborations Flight, a five-glass testament to friendship, feral creativity, and the delicious chaos that erupts when great breweries decide to play together. From pizza-ready haze to riverside radiance, from galaxy-flipping IPA physics to a gin-kissed, three-year-aged leviathan of a stout-barleywine hybrid, this flight is a reminder that beer is rarely better alone. Raise your glass — today, we collaborate with joy.
Peaks & Pints Fort George Collaborations Flight
Fort George Brewery + North Park Beer Co Pizza Pals (2025)
7% ABV | Hazy IPA | Astoria, OR + San Diego, CA
Pizza Pals storms in with the energy of that friend who arrives already laughing, already hungry, already reaching for your fridge door. Brewed with North Park Beer Co., this hazy IPA is a glowing dark-yellow celebration loaded with every conceivable form of Citra — Cryo, Dynaboost, CO₂ extract, all of it shimmering like citrus in overdrive. Add Eclipse, Simcoe Cryo, Ekuanot Cryo, and Krush Cryo, and suddenly the room smells like orange-pineapple euphoria with a peach-candy grin. The sip is pure easy joy: soft, juicy, gently dank, the ideal companion to any slice worth folding.
Fort George Brewery + Icicle Brewing Luminosa River Hazy IPA
7% ABV | Hazy IPA | Astoria, OR + Leavenworth, WA
Luminosa River moves with a kind of serene fire — quiet at first, then radiant, like sunlight deciding it might also want to be thunder. Fort George and Icicle Brewing built this hazy as a love letter to their rivers, threading Luminosa hops through every possible expression until the beer glows with peach flesh, mango warmth, and citrus that tastes like summer caught mid-breath. Idaho 7 and Chinook slip in as guiding spirits, adding pine flickers and orange zest, while a bill of Pilsner, oats, and wheat keeps everything afloat like a raft drifting past basalt at golden hour. This one doesn’t demand attention; it earns it by simply shining.
Fort George Brewery + Uchu Brewing Wormholes
6.7% ABV | Double Dry-Hopped West Coast IPA | Astoria, OR + Hokuto, Japan
Wormholes from Fort George Brewery and Japan’s Uchu Brewing doesn’t simply land in the glass — it phases in, as if it slipped through a cosmic shortcut just to rearrange what you thought a West Coast IPA could be. Built on a bright, crystalline bed of Pilsner malt and supercharged with Mosaic, Manilita, Superdelic, Roy Chinook, and Columbus Cryo, it greets the nose with interstellar voltage: mango flare, strawberry pulse, lime-peel static, and a faint tug of dank gravity swirling at the edge. The sip is sharp and luminous, all citrus rind, tropical spark, and a bitterness so clean it disappears like a particle the moment you try to observe it.
Fort George + Great Notion Peaches & Creamation
13.9% ABV | Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout | Astoria, OR + Portland, OR
Peaches & Creamation enters the room like a velvet-draped séance, Fort George and Great Notion calling dessert back from the dead with bourbon barrels and grilled fruit. A blend aged up to two years in Russell’s Reserve, Basil Hayden Malted Rye, and Willett barrels becomes the stage for more than 800 pounds of char-kissed Oregon peaches and an avalanche of vanilla. The aroma rises in warm waves: peach cobbler at midnight, bourbon breathing slow, sugar caramelizing in the dark. Each sip unfurls like a spell — burnt peach, rye warmth, chocolate dusk, and a long, lush finish that fades like smoke from a summer bonfire. Peaches & Creamation isn’t a stout; it’s resurrection with a fruit halo.
Fort George Brewery + de Garde Brewing Sometimes Things Take Longer
14.5% ABV | Barrel-Aged Stout & Barleywine Blend | Astoria, OR + Tillamook, OR
Sometimes Things Take Longer is Fort George and de Garde Brewing staring time directly in the face — and deciding to outwait it. This colossal blend of bourbon barrel-aged stout and barleywine slumbered for 36 months in Ransom gin barrels, absorbing botanicals, oak whispers, and the kind of quiet wisdom only time can give. What emerges is deep, dark alchemy: caramelized malt, chocolate earth, juniper-kissed vanilla, bourbon heat curling around the edges like candle smoke. It drinks like a midnight sermon delivered in a coastal storm — huge, contemplative, patient. Proof that great beer doesn’t hurry; it arrives exactly when it’s ready.
