The Pelican Brewpub in Pacific City, Oregon, was named Champion Large Brewpub in the 2012 World Beer Cup. Two years later their growth meant they could no longer be considered just a brewpub, but won the award of Champion Small Brewery instead.

The brewery keeps winning accolades because they are experts at making beers that are utterly true to style and invariably faultless. And beers like Tsunami Stout, Silverspot IPA and Imperial Pelican Ale are crowd-pleasers too.
