If you like your beer smooth and a touch fruity, this Pacific Northwest favorite is a great place to start.
About the Brewery

Over the years Pelican has become one of the most decorated breweries in the Pacific Northwest, known for well-crafted, approachable beers. We are glad to bring a little of that coastal spirit to West Seattle.
