Pelican Brewing – Tillamook (Craft Beer & Brewery in Tillamook OR)

Pelican Brewing Company exploded onto Tillamook’s shoreline in 1996, a trio of hop‑obsessed locals (the founders were three mates with a shared obsession for hops) who cared more about a perfect pint than the paperwork. From day one they have been churning out coastal‑styled ales that taste of sea breezes and pine forests, a blend of innovation and good‑old tradition that has earned them a loyal following far beyond Oregon’s borders. Their commitment goes beyond the taproom; they back the Salmon SuperHwy Project, a clever scheme to keep the rivers thriving, proving that you can love a cold one and a clean river at the same time.

The brewery’s vibe is as relaxed as a Sunday afternoon on the beach, with an outdoor space that invites you to linger over fish‑and‑chips while the sun dips low. Service is consistently friendly, and the bar never runs out of interesting choices – from hop‑forward IPAs to a surprisingly crisp root beer on tap. Every glass feels like a tiny celebration of craft, community, and the occasional paddle‑board adventure, making Pelican more than a place to drink; it’s a reminder that great beer can be both tasty and responsible.
