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.

Bottle@SBWF2010. Deep rubyish brown colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is liquorice, toffee, some sweet maltyness, mild red berries, plum as well as some slight alcohol. Flavour is very similar in a nice balance. Also has some slight spicy notes. Still a bit fresh, so the alcohol gives quite a burn.

Bottle at Craig’s, Edinburgh tasting, big thanks to Craig for this beer I think he got this one. Shared in company of Craig, Stella, Jan, Charlotte, Fritz and Loz 30.10.10 This has a decent nose, it’s got a soft maltiness to it with some sticky dark sugar’s. Really boozy, it’s fine but no different to 101 other beer’s of this style I’ve had. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0
