Even without the assist, though, house-made stouts on offer from Fort George will run the gamut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Viva la Stout, which is a Mexican chocolate stout,â&#x20AC;? says Harris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spicy and chocolatey.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another featuring cherries and Belgian Chocolate, as well those with essences of coffee, fruit, nuts, cream and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We make an oyster stout,â&#x20AC;? says Harris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We run the stout through two bushels of raw oysters until they pop open.

The resulting beer, he says, is much smoother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You would not drink and go, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow this is an oyster,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Harris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a little brine-y character.â&#x20AC;? The oyster stout, however, is no modern culinary twist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old, old recipe,â&#x20AC;? Harris says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing that for 200 years.â&#x20AC;? The Festival of Dark Arts, in its most recent iteration, is turning three. To be sure: It is not a celebration of the profane, for which it has been occasionally mistaken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were some breweries that refused to participate because they thought it was a little too creepy,â&#x20AC;?

Hand-drawn labels reveal the distinct personalities of each Fort George Brewery beer.
Costumed or not, Festival-goers (who would be wise to acquire advance tickets, as attendance is capped and can sell out) will be treated to as wide a variety of entertainment as stout. Upstairs, the Fort George restaurant will become a concert venue, featuring Portland daisy-pop indie-rockers Blue Skies For Black Hearts, Astorian treasure and underground folk legend Michael Hurley, whirling percussionist Papi Fimbres and his lively Orquestra Pacifico Tropical, as well as the modern Appalachian string of Marty Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly and Summer Cannibalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fuzzy, sneering, female-fronted garage pop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an ice sculptor,â&#x20AC;? adds Harris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He uses an electric chainsaw and electric cutting tools.

Directions: 1. In a small saucepan over medium, heat the mango puree and butter until simmering and the butter has melted. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate and honey. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, then stir with a rubber spatula until smooth. Set aside, but keep warm. 2. In another small saucepan over medium, heat the half-and-half until it simmers. Add the caramels and five-spice powder, then cook, stirring constantly, until the caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth. 3. Transfer the two mixtures to 2 small serving bowls. Set on a platter surrounded by the various items for dunking. Alternatively, set up 2 heated fondue pots according to product directions and pour the dipping sauces into those. Serve immediately.

Nu-Blu plays bluegrass music at the Fort ASTORIA — A happenstance meeting in Anaheim, California, and a last-minute cancellation gives music lovers the opportunity to witness some world-class bluegrass music at 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15 at the Fort George Brewery. Nu-Blu, a Siler City, North Carolina-based band on a national tour, happened to have a day off and an interest to check out the Oregon Coast for the first time. Recently hitting the charts with a collaboration with Sam Moore (of Sam and Dave fame), Nu-Blu will bring its finely crafted blend of banjo, mandolin, bass and guitar along with pitch-perfect harmonies. Head to the Fort at 1483 Duane St. and give the band a listen. To step out and decide to make a living in music takes a tremendous leap of personal and professional courage. But for Daniel and Carolyn Routh, the husband-and-wife team that founded Nu-Blu in September 2003, it became a necessity. Today, even as they continue to grow, they have reason to celebrate: NuBlu released its latest album,

Nu-Blu will perform bluegrass music at Fort George Brewery on Feb. 15.
“All The Way,” in September 2014. The album is fueled by the George Jones-inspired song “Jesus and Jones,” which has gained national attention. Nu-Blu is comprised of Carolyn Routh on bass and vocals; Levi Austin on vocals and banjo; Austin Koerner on mandolin; and Daniel Routh, who is the band’s Renaissance Man — guitarist, singer, manager and tour
coordinator, among many other roles. The group brings its entertaining version of bluegrass music to audiences across the nation year-round. Influences range from original bluegrass pioneers like Earl Scruggs, Jimmy Martin and Lester Flatt to rock bands of the 1980s and the contemporary sounds of Alison Krauss and Union Station.

COLUMBIA BAR
Pomegranate-Ginger Fizz By RYAN HUME
Complimentary...
When faced with a bold new ingredient, what’s an intrepid bar staff to do? Well, when the bar menu rotates seasonally, as it does at Astoria’s Bridgewater Bistro, the answer is simple: Create a new signature cocktail to showcase it. In an effort to integrate a new product, Spiritopia Ginger, a hand-crafted small-batch liqueur out of Corvallis, the staff cut the spice of the ginger, which can come off as a bit medicinal when slurped alone, with one of winter’s most beneficial seasonal fruits — the pomegranate. The result is both sweet and sharp and has been a hit with patrons. Considering that ginger and pomegranates have each been rumored to have aphrodisiac qualities for centuries — ginger for its circulatory bump, while the pomegranate has to contend with the knowledge that many consider it to be the fruit Eve plucked from a certain tree

Tongue Point. A wooded peninsula jutting nearly a mile into the Columbia River on the east end of Astoria. Tongue Point has been home to a mill, a U.S. Naval Air Base and a U.S. Coast Guard Station among other things and in 1965 became one of the nation’s first Job Corps sites, which is still in use today Origin: Before 899, developed as tunge in the Old English as a cognate with the Old Frisian, tunge, and the Old Saxon, tunga, all meaning the organ
— this cocktail would be a welcome addition to any Valentine’s table . 1 heavy ounce of Pomegranate schnapps 1 ounce Spiritopia Ginger, or other ginger liqueur 1 light ounce triple sec Splash of 7-Up, or other lemon-lime soda Splash of soda water Ice Pomegranate seeds for garnish Shake ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker until cold. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with seeds. —Recipe and story courtesy of Mimi Gramson, Bridgewater Bistro, Astoria of speech, or language. From the Old High German, zanga. Tongue Point was named “Point William” by Lewis and Clark when they camped there in 1805, but it has retained its previous name first given by one Lt. William Broughton of the George Vancouver Expedition in 1792. “From the heights back of Astoria, a view can be obtained any summer evening, that is worth miles of travel to any one having an eye for the beautiful. Looking in either direction…the immediate foreground is the city itself. On the east, four miles above, Tongue point thrusts its mass of green pines far out into the stream, forming one side of the graceful bay in which the city lies.” —H.L. Wells, “Gateway of the Columbia,” The West Shore, Vol. 13, No. 7, July 1887, p. 508
“The Astoria relief committee urges that all possible dispatch be observed in expediting plans and specifications for the construction of the naval base at Tongue Point. ‘It is felt that the government probably could render very great assistance to sufferers in Astoria by getting started on this work at the earliest practicable date. We would deeply appreciate the maximum effort on your part to have relief of this character extended, as it is the type of service that Astoria need.’” — The Oregonian News Bureau, “Astoria’s Plight Moves President,” The Morning Oregonian, Thursday, Dec. 14, 1922, p. 8
