Discover the brewing history of the Land of the Goonies!

Astoria has a rich brewing history that dates back to the regional powerhouse of North Pacific Brewing Company. They struggled to commercially produce local beer after Prohibition until the late 1990s with the emergence of Pacific Rim Brewery (aka Astoria Brewing Company and Wet Dog Cafe). Now, Fort George Brewery, Hondo's Brewpub, Buoy Beer Company, and Reach Break Brewing are making the small coastal town a big part of Oregon's hops scene.

Suggested beers when visiting: Lovell Lager (Fort George) and Astoria Wild Ale (Reach Break).
