Fort George Stout Month Finale in Tacoma

Peaks & Pints will tap 16 2025 Fort George Festival of the Dark Arts stouts at 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27.

If you’ve ever wondered at the appeal, the urge, the drive to attend Fort George Brewery’s Festival of the Dark Arts, if you’ve heard wisps of the mythology and the mystery and the epic weirdness or even seen a few pictures and wondered, you know, WTF, maybe I should dress like Jack Sparrow and make my way through 80 exquisitely unique stouts on a cold mid-February Saturday in Astoria, Oregon. You should. It’s rather astonishing how often you’ll reach bliss at the one-day stout craft beer festival. It almost matters not from which brewery room you inhabit — Festival of the Dark Arts is an equal opportunity soul enricher. In your admiration for the magical menagerie of art and macabre entertainment — the ice, glass, ink, and fire craftspeople — you’ll also taste the best in craft brewery-made stouts, including 20 or so from Fort George proper. If you didn’t have tickets to this year’s Festival of the Dark Arts, Peaks & Pints can, at least, offer you a taste of the giant stout festival as the touring Dark Arts roadshow ends at Peaks & Pints Feb. 27. Beginning at 6 p.m., we’re tapping 16 Fort George brewed stouts plus a few other tasty treats from the Astoria brewery.
