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.

On tap pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice pine citrus hops and some nice malts. Taste is more of the nice hop combo and a well balanced malt.

500mL bottle, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out some tart dark cherries, a little vanilla, and a touch of oak -- this smells borderline infected. Flavour has some sour cherries, whiskey barrels, oak, and a touch of vanilla. Too much sour cherries, but as a BA Xmas cake beer, it's alright; as a scotch ale, it's disappointing.
