Pelican Brewing in Pacific City is the sort of place that lets the Atlantic Ocean do most of the hard work while a handful of proper craftsmen turn water, grain and hops into liquid fireworks. Their lineup reads like a cheeky menu for the adventurous palate – a tangy Sparkle Hops that snaps at you like a fresh sea‑breeze, a Smoked Porter as dark and mysterious as a midnight tide, and the legendary Kiwanda Cream Ale, the drink that earned the brewery a permanent spot on any coastal‑side beer‑lover’s bingo card.
The premises sit literally on the beach, so you can sip a pint while watching gulls argue over the best surf spot (the only thing more persuasive than the view is the Bacon Brie Flatbread, a slice of decadence that somehow never feels pretentious). The onion rings arrive perfectly crisp, and the banquet room offers a patio with a vista that makes you forget you ever needed a TV. With a solid selection of styles and a vibe that says “we know what we’re doing, but we’re not taking ourselves too seriously,” Pelican Brewing proves that good beer doesn’t need a manifesto – just a wave, a grain, and a dash of daring.
Pelican Brewing's Pacific City location is praised for its exceptional food, impressive beer selection, and welcoming atmosphere, with many reviewers noting the stunning ocean views and outdoor seating options, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and celebration.
