Public Coast Brewing Co (Craft Beer & Brewery in Cannon Beach OR)

Public Coast Brewing Co. sits on a 40‑acre farm just outside Cannon Beach, Oregon, where the salty breeze and solar‑powered greenhouse conspire to create beers that taste like the coast itself. Their lineup swings from aggressively hoppy IPAs to silky stouts and sharply tart sours, each batch steeped in locally sourced grains and hops. The farmstand adds a rustic touch, offering fresh produce that finds its way into the brew kettle, so every pint feels like a small, edible geography lesson.

Only a half‑hour’s drive from Portland and literally adjacent to the Banks‑Vernonia Scenic Bikeway, the brewery is a magnet for cyclists (who appreciate the generous portions) and foodies alike. The menu boasts gluten‑free options without compromising flavor, a root beer that could convert a die‑hard ale lover, and onion rings so crisp they almost earn a standing ovation. The staff—well‑versed in both brew chemistry and dietary quirks—are eager to guide you through the tasting experience, ensuring you leave with more than just a buzz. In short, Public Coast delivers a wholehearted tribute to Oregon’s coastal spirit, wrapped in craftsmanship that makes you believe beer can be both playful and profound. (The founders, long‑time collaborators, clearly know how to mix ambition with humility.)
