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.

Sergey's hunt at Ash's, bottle; vintage 2018 (almost 2 years old)
Black colour with medium sized brown head, short retention. Smooth, dark chocolate, moderate sweetness; the body is medium (because of the high alcohol content); this is a Rye bomb, with nice alcohol kick.
Excellent.

Tap at 23 Craft Beerz. Light orange fruitiness, bit tingly, some bitterness at the finish. Aroma is bit stinky, orange again and sweet. Something not quite there though.
