Astoria has a brewery that on our visit was specializing in stouts and porters. Fort George was the beginning of the British part of Oregon from 1813 to 1846, via an acquisition of what became the Hudson's Bay Company. The Oregon Treaty resolved a territorial dispute, ceded the trading post (and the Western states) to the US, and it was renamed Astoria.
Fort George Brewery now sits a few blocks up from the river, and makes quite nice beer.
