Fort George Electric Venom Double IPA: A Bold Bite for IPA Fans

Some beers ease their way onto your palate. Fort George Electric Venom Double IPA is not one of them.

Bold, hoppy, and built for drinkers who like their IPAs with some serious personality, Electric Venom comes from Fort George Brewery in Astoria, Oregon. It’s the kind of beer that makes a statement from the first sip—and exactly the kind of pour worth seeking out when you’re ready to venture beyond the everyday IPA.

Meet Fort George Brewery

Fort George Brewery has earned a reputation in the Pacific Northwest for brewing beers that aren't afraid to go big. Based in Astoria, Oregon, the brewery is especially well known among hop lovers for creative IPAs that showcase bold flavors and plenty of character.

Electric Venom Double IPA fits right into that lineup.

As a Double IPA, this beer turns up the intensity. Expect a fuller body, a stronger hop presence, and more punch than you'd typically find in a standard IPA.

What Does Electric Venom Double IPA Taste Like?

Electric Venom is made for people who want their hops front and center.

Depending on the batch and freshness, you may pick up layers of citrus, tropical fruit, resinous hop character, and pine, backed by enough malt to keep all that hop intensity from becoming one-dimensional.

The result is a beer that's big without simply being bitter for bitterness' sake.

Each sip delivers a combination of:

• Bold hop aroma

• Citrus and tropical fruit character

• Piney and resinous notes

• A substantial malt backbone

• A lingering hop-forward finish

It's unmistakably a Double IPA—and proud of it.

What Is a Double IPA?

If you're newer to craft beer, you might wonder what puts the "Double" in Double IPA.

A Double IPA—sometimes called an Imperial IPA—generally takes the characteristics people love about an India Pale Ale and amplifies them. Brewers typically use more hops and malt, creating a beer with greater flavor intensity and usually a higher alcohol content.

That doesn't necessarily mean every Double IPA is overwhelmingly bitter. Modern versions of the style can lean heavily into juicy citrus, tropical fruit, dank hops, pine, or combinations of all four.

Electric Venom is a great choice when you're in the mood for something with more horsepower than your usual pint.

What to Pair With a Double IPA

Big beers can stand up to big flavors.

Electric Venom's hop intensity makes it a natural companion for salty, spicy, smoky, and rich foods. Think pizza, burgers, barbecue, spicy snacks, or anything with enough flavor to hold its own alongside a Double IPA.

Of course, there's another perfectly acceptable pairing:

Electric Venom + a seat at the pub.

No complicated tasting notes required.

For the Hop Heads

If your first question when looking at a beer list is, "What's the hoppiest thing you've got?", Electric Venom deserves your attention.

Double IPAs aren't necessarily everyone's starting point in craft beer, but for dedicated hop fans, they're often where things get interesting. More aroma. More flavor. More intensity.

And when a brewery with Fort George's hop credentials puts "Electric Venom" on the label, subtlety probably wasn't the assignment.
