JUNE 15, 2017 // 7 Fort George owner addresses Clatsop College grads ASTORIA — Chris Nem- lowill, co-owner of Fort George Brewery, will address Clatsop Community College graduates at the 2017 commencement cer- emony 7 p.m. Friday, June 16, in Patriot Hall on the college’s Astoria campus. “I’ve been asking a lot of people if they remember who spoke at their gradu- ation, and not many do. I hope to give the graduates something they will enjoy and maybe even remember,” Nemlowill said. Nemlowill, husband of Astoria City Councilor Zetty Nemlowill, grew up in the Columbia-Pacifi c region and attended the community college after high school. Unsure of his direction but knowing he needed to continue his education, he considered mechanics but landed on computer science and marketing. He completed an Associ- ate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree at the college in 2001, then transferred to Southern Oregon University to continue his education, graduating in 2003. Nemlowill was ready to start an internship at Intel when he ended up taking care of his grandmother. “I knew I’d have some down time while I was helping my grandmother, so I bought six books on how to brew beer, he explained, YOUTUBE.COM Free piano concert CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Community Church is hosting a free piano concert with Aszemar Glenn 3 p.m. Thursday, June 22. The program features: “Loneliness” (Khachaturi- an), “Distant Bells” (Glenn), “Music Box Dancer” (Mills), “Clair de Lune” (Debussy), SUBMITTED PHOTO Chris Nemlowill FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. “and that’s how it started.” Nemlowill began brew- ing batches of various beers and would give samples away for people to taste as he refi ned his skills. He deepened his knowledge of the beer industry while studying abroad in the Neth- erlands. Between his academ- ic classes he would visit breweries across Europe to learn from brewmasters. Jack Harris, who at the time was working as the brewmaster at Bill’s Tavern in Cannon Beach, became Nemlowill’s mentor. Their collaboration turned into a business partnership, and Fort George Brewery was created in 2007. The brewery now owns an entire city block and has expanded its canning and distributing reach while serving the local community and being an anchor busi- ness to the city, the college said in a release. Clatsop will award certif- icates and degrees to more than 170 students this year.
