Pelican Brewing – Cannon Beach (Craft Beer & Brewery in Cannon Beach OR)

Pelican Brewing sits on the wind‑blown sands of Cannon Beach, Oregon, where the sea’s roar is the perfect backdrop for a brewery that takes its craft as seriously as a poet takes rhyme. Founded by a trio of locals (who had spent more time sampling waves than sipping ales), they have turned the coastline into a laboratory for over‑300 award‑winning brews. Their flagship Tsunami Stout is a dark, velvety beast that drags you in like a surf‑swell, while the rest of the line showcases Pacific City’s distinctive flavours with the precision of a master jeweller.

The building itself is a rustic wooden barn that feels more like a grand, open‑plan lounge than a traditional taproom. Spacious dining areas sit side by side with a well‑stocked bar, and the staff are as knowledgeable as a university lecture and twice as entertaining. Service is swift, and the crew offers spot‑on food pairings that make the beer taste even better. In short, Pelican Brewing delivers beachfront serenity in a glass, wrapped in craftsmanship that could make even the most sceptical palate break into applause.
