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,

“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.
