I’m excited to show off the first drawings of the new Pelican Brewery and tasting room in Tillamook, OR. Details from Coast River Business Journal:
Co-owner Mary Jones said construction is set to begin March 1; she hopes to begin brewing by June 1.
The brewery is expanding operations into the Star Distributing building, a former food wholesaler located on Stillwell Avenue between Front and First streets. The building has most recently been leased by the Tillamook County Creamery Association, which gave notice to the building owners that it would be leaving the space as of Feb. 1.
The tasting room will hold about 30 to 40 seats, Jones said, including a bar, some outdoor seating and a shuffle board.
A handful of those Tillamook-based employees will be coming up from Pacific City, where Pelican is currently brewing about 2,500 barrels a year. The plan is to reduce the Pacific City production capacity to about 1,000 barrels a year – just enough to serve the attached restaurant and pub.
The Tillamook site is anticipated to produce about 8,500 barrels in its first year. Because there's room to grow, Jones said the facility could eventually produce up to 20,000 barrels annually.
