About Pelican Bad Santa Cascadia Dark Ale

Built right at the water’s edge with Haystack Rock as a backdrop, Pelican is the only beachfront brewpub in the Pacific Northwest and has since grown to locations up and down the Oregon Coast. Bad Santa is their seasonal Cascadia Dark Ale, also known as a black IPA, leaning on primarily Fuggle hops.
