WELCOME ABOARD!

May 8, 2023

We’re excited to welcome beer fans to Astoria Beer Zone, a blog focused on the North Coast’s vibrant craft beer scene. Expect a mix of fun stories and useful info about brews made here, and the people who make them.

We’ll be kicking things off with a revealing Q/A with Obelisk Beer Co. brewer and co-owner Dave Coyne. Going out on his own after nine years at Fort George, Dave is definitely setting the bar pretty high.

Follow us for original content you can’t find anywhere else, including descriptions of special beers being released by our awesome breweries.

TITUS BENTLEY LEAVING NORTH JETTY

Titus Bentley, North Jetty Brewing’s head brewer, is returning to Colorado.

Bentley spent the past two years raising the profile of the Seaview, Wash., brewery with his inventive beers and collaborations. Before that, he honed his skills during stints at Buoy Beer and Fort George Brewery in Astoria.

BREW CUP DRAWS REVELERS TO ASTORIA

When the first Pacific Northwest Brew Cup happened in 2002, there was no craft beer scene in Astoria.

Astoria Brewing was still called Wet Dog. Fort George Brewery wouldn’t make its transformative debut for another five years.

And the downtown beer zone? A mere fantasy.
