Oregon Coast Brewing Scene Expands as Pelican Brewing Announces Yachats Outpost

Oregon’s craft beer enthusiasts have a new reason to celebrate. The iconic Pelican Brewing Company, a staple of the Pacific Northwest brewing scene since its founding in Pacific City in 1996, has officially announced plans to open a new taproom and restaurant in the picturesque coastal village of Yachats.

The expansion marks a significant addition to Yachats’ local business landscape, bringing a renowned Oregon brand to a community known for its stunning ocean views and vibrant tourism. The new location is expected to create jobs and draw both locals and visitors, offering a fresh dining and social hub on the central coast.

“We’ve always felt a deep connection to the entire Oregon coast,” said a company representative, emphasizing the brand’s commitment to community. “Yachats embodies the rugged, beautiful spirit we celebrate in our beers. We’re thrilled to become part of this community and share our passion for great craft beer and food right here.”

For Oregonians, especially those on the coast, this move reinforces the state’s reputation as a craft beverage destination. Pelican Brewing is known for its award-winning ales and lagers, like the Kiwanda Cream Ale, which are inspired by the Oregon coast’s natural beauty. The Yachats location will provide a new venue for residents and travelers to sample these local flavors directly from the source.

While an exact opening date is still being finalized, the announcement has already generated buzz among coastal business circles. The development signals confidence in Oregon’s coastal economy and offers a promising boost for Yachats, further cementing the Oregon coast as a must-visit corridor for food and drink aficionados.
