Description
Pelican Brewing Company was born at the beach in Pacific City in 1996. Here, in front of a rundown old building at the water’s edge, stood three enthusiastic young folks whose thirst for great beer overshadowed their understanding of what it would take to build a brewery. They did it anyway. And now twenty years later, older, and wiser, Pelican Brewing Company is a craft beer industry leader with fans throughout the Northwest and around the world. Today we’ve taken our breweries and our values to other Oregon coastal towns where we wake up each day in a place that reminds us that amazing is possible. Cheers fellow fanatics. This is as good as it gets.

Sampled at the Savor DC event. Pours a translucent amber brown with a wispy white head. Sweet, malty, sugary, inviting aroma. Flavor has plenty of malt, chewy grains, toffee and nuts. Finish is clean and dry. Solid, drinkable session beer.
