About
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.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours translucent dark gold with a white head. Deep inhale suggests pale malt and pale stone . Medium body. Flavor came out melon and pale malt for me. Pretty dry; moderately hoppy; pleasingly bitter. Nice.

Thick bourbon toffee, sweet sweet, bit of a roasted malt back still, needs more aging for the rough finish. But still great sweetness upfront. *Edit" at room temp no bitterness, let this baby breathe, +.50

On tap at The Beer Mongers, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out rustic saison yeast, with wild notes, and grape must. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart wine grapes, wild yeast and rustic saison yeast. Really nice addition of the grapes. Tart, wild finish. Very good.

Bottle from my wife, xmas gift. Mahogany pour with scant, filmy head. Cherries feature prominently in the aroma, Belgian yeast, prunes, raisins. Taste starts with the cherries,but isn't sweet. Its also kind of thin though, which detracts slightly from the overall experience. Got much better as it warms

12 oz bottle. Aroma is citrus rind, floral. Pours clear new penny copper with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately bitter with a touch of sweetness on the back end with flavors of citrus, pine, caramel. Nice beer.

On tap at Tomato Street. Pours clear golden with a one finger bone white head that recedes into a skiff of foam somewhat quickly. Taste is mild to moderately bitter, finishing dry with a pithy bitterness. Citrusy hop flavors. Decent.

I dunno about this barleywine master race stuff. This is toffee juice but isn't any smoother than last year's.
