Pelican Brewing Announces Rockaway Beach Grand Opening
Rockaway Beach, OR (October 14, 2025) — Pelican Brewing Company, the award- winning Oregon Coast brewery known for its coastal hospitality and innovative craft beers, is thrilled to announce the official opening of its newest location in beautiful Rockaway Beach, Oregon. Doors open to the public on Friday, October 17, marking the start of daily operations, and a small community ribbon-cutting celebration is scheduled for the following Friday morning, October 24.
Located just steps from the sand, Pelican Brewing Rockaway Beach offers a cozy, coastal retreat for locals and visitors alike. The new space, while smaller in size (and with a smaller menu) than Pelican’s flagship brewpubs in Cannon Beach, Pacific City, and Siletz Bay, still boasts vibrant colors and an atmosphere that embodies the heart and soul of the brand. Pelican Brewing Rockaway Beach is set to be a welcoming, laid-back gathering place built around great beer, delicious food, and community connection. “Rockaway Beach is such a special part of the Oregon Coast, and we couldn’t be more excited to become part of this community,” says Mary Jones, Pelican Brewing co- founder. “This space is a mini version of the Pelican experience, bringing together exceptional craft, meaningful community, and the beauty of life on the Oregon Coast.”
Pelican Brewing Rockaway Beach reflects the brewery’s continued investment in Oregon’s coastal towns, creating new local jobs and supporting year-round tourism. The team looks forward to welcoming neighbors, beachgoers, and travelers to share in Pelican’s passion for great beer and memorable coastal experiences. Whether stopping in after a stroll along the beach or meeting friends for a pint, Pelican Brewing Rockaway Beach invites everyone to make themselves at home and celebrate the coast—one beer at a time.
Beginning October 17th, Pelican Brewing Rockaway beach will be open daily with winter hours Sunday through Thursdays from 11:00 am – 8:00 pm and Friday through Saturday from 11:00 am – 9:00 pm.
