Our friends at Fort George Brewery are joining in the fun during Record Store Day 2023 at The Record Pub, teaming up with Reuben’s Brews and Light in the Attic Records to present this year’s 45 Series – a combination of classic tunes and beer that will debut at The Record Pub during Record Store Day on Saturday, April 22.
The 45 Series is a collaboration that’s all about the single. It features two sides of a 45rpm, seven-inch record with Light in the Attic Records, and two sides of a beer collaboration with Fort George and Reuben’s Brews.
The record features the classic Jim Sullivan tracks “UFO” and “Jerome.” To match these deep cuts from 1969, Fort George and Reuben’s decided to brew some classic styles. The A Side beer is a Kolsch with a light touch of Phantasm powder, while the B Side is an Altbier. Both beers are brewed in 45 barrel tanks. The Record Pub will be offering mini-flights of the two beers for $4.50 that day.
Cascade Record Pressing, the Northwest’s first large production automated record-pressing plant, has pressed a limited run of the 45rpm Jim Sullivan records to accompany this year’s beer release from Fort George.
TRP will be open at 7 a.m. on Saturday, April 22, with a host of special activities planned as part of Record Store Day 2023 at The Record Pub. Fort George representatives will be on site from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. that day to celebrate this year’s launch of the 45 Series with giveaways, drawings and more. Additionally, The Record Pub and Fort George are teaming up on an expanded tap takeover, featuring a variety of Fort George brews on draft (in addition to the 45 Series beers) to add to the Record Store Day revelry.
