Let’s Pour Brewery # 2 – Pelican Pub & Brewery

IMG_7356

For Christmas, I received gift codes to the Let’s Pour craft beer website so that I could buy to my hearts content or the max amount that I was given (whichever came first) and this month I am focusing my brewery spotlight on three breweries that I plan to spend my money on.

Second up is Pacific City’s, Pelican Pub and Brewery.  I haven’t had any of their beers in a long, long while and I guess a part of me was waiting to visit their awesome location literally right on the sand looking out onto the Pacific.

Obviously, I don’t see many of their beers down here in Los Angeles but if I did have access I would get the following:

Nestucca ESB – “Copper-hued and medium-bodied, Nestucca ESB features an English-inspired herbal, floral, and grassy aroma balanced with a toasted bread and toffee-like malt flavor. A subtle fruitiness merges with biscuit-like flavors and a clean, hoppy finish to make this beer both refreshing and full of character. Dry hopped for a delightful fresh hop aroma!”

Kiwanda Cream Ale – “Inspired by one of America’s traditional 19th century beer styles, Kiwanda Cream Ale is pale gold with a fruity, floral hop aroma. A sweet malty flavor and a smooth snappy finish round out this tasty, refreshing brew! “

XMAS Beer – Christmas with the Pelican

Here are a flurry of options from Pacific City, Oregon’s Pelican Brewery.

These Pelican brews may not last ’till Christmas and some may be draft only. If you taste them, let me know what you think.

Here are Pelican’s descriptions:

About Bad Santa:
>”You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout the Brewers at Pelican are telling you why, Bad Santa has arrived. This mysterious dark elixir is filled with complex malt flavors and aromas. Toasted malt and roast character blends seamlessly to the alluring herbal hop aroma that comes from copious amounts of Fuggle hops. Bad Santa doesn’t care if you’ve been naughty or nice, he wants this beer on your list.”

About MacPelican’s Wee Heavy Ale:
“Our version of the “Wee Heavy” Scotch Ale style is literally a batch of MacPelican’s Scottish Ale brewed with half the water and twice the boiling time to create a beer with a massive malty flavor and a deep red color. The aroma hints of rich caramel, cocoa, toffee, and tropical fruit, with a full-bodied mouth feel and a velvety sweet, slightly dry finish. A robust beer with a dangerous, drinkable smoothness.”

About Stormwatcher’s Winterfest
Stormwatcher’s Winterfest is the perfect brew to savor on a stormy Oregon Coast day. Its deep amber-red color, massive toasted malt, toffee and caramel aroma, and full-bodied malty flavor lead to a smooth, soft and warming finish. The floral aroma and flavor highlights come from Mt. Hood hops, while a toasted malt sweetness balances a mild, subtle bitterness in the finish. Its big, rich flavor makes it the ideal complement to nasty weather.

Oregon Craft Beer Month – Pelican Brewery

When experimental hops start coming from France, you know beer is now serious.

“On July 14 in honor of the French National Holiday, Bastille Day, Pelican Brewery will release a new one-off beer called “The Guillotine,” which is made with experimental hops from Alsace, France. “This hop (P05-9) is an experimental variety from the grower’s co-op” said Welch. “It’s the first product of the breeding program.” The Guillotine will be an international-style pale ale that is golden hued and slightly stronger than other brews at 6 percent ABV—a perfect beer for summertime on the Pelican patio. The Guillotine will be available on draft only.”
