Fort George Brewery 4th of July 3-Day 3-Way Weekend

With this upcoming weekend’s 4th of July 3-Day 3-Way at Fort George Brewery in Astoria, the guest beers from the current and former 3-Way IPA brewery partners has been announced. The weekend event kicks off on Friday, July 3rd and continues through Sunday, July 5th. Should be a great weekend to head to Oregon’s North Coast to get a break from this extended heatwave facing those east of Oregon’s Coastal Range.

However, the highlight of the weekend will be on July 4th for Saturday’s featured courtyard event pouring beers from Fort George, Gigantic, Lompoc, Block 15, Boneyard, Georgetown and pFriem. There will also be some additional bonus beers from Breakside, Barley Brown’s, Buoy, and Melvin. Plus, to make this weekend even more enjoyable Fort George will tap freshly brewed batches of all three years of 3-Way IPA. This will be the first time one can have three different 3-Way IPAs all in one location. The small batch, draft only re-brews of 2013 and 2014 3-Way IPA are available only on the coast, and they will go quickly.

Here is the schedule of events for the three-day weekend from July 3 – 5.

Friday, July 3rd
Live music from 5pm to 10pm with The Sam Stoners, Michael Hurley, The Resolectrics, and the Quick and Easy Boys.
