10A • March 24, 2017 | Cannon Beach Gazette | cannonbeachgazette.com ‘Something unique’ at Seaside brew fest Cannon Beach well- represented at beer festival By R.J. Marx Cannon Beach Gazette The “brotherhood of brew- ers” was on display at the Seaside Civic and Conven- tion Center Saturday for the Pouring at the Coast craft beer festival. Beer fans from throughout the Pacific North- west grabbed a glass and had a sip at the fest, presented by the Seaside Chamber of Com- merce. This was the eighth year for the event. “This event is huge,” Lo- gan Marks of Stickmen Brew- ing Co., based in Lake Oswe- go, said. “For a brewery our size, it means the world.” Marks was pouring Stick- men’s F1 IPA. “We dry-hop it twice,” he said. “It’s super aromatic, with a nice fruity body.” Brent Nygard from River- Bend Brewing Co. poured an oatmeal stout and an IPA. A small Bend brewery with a capacity of only 5,000 barrels, Nygard said the Sea- side festival allows his brew- ery “to reach out and get our beers out there.” Local brews Participants from Astoria included Fort George Brew- ery and Public House, Buoy Beer Co., Wet Dog Brewery, Reach Break Brewing and Rogue Ales and Public House. The South County was repre- sented by Seaside Brewing Co., and Pelican Brewing and Public Coast Brewing, both of Cannon Beach. Dan Hamilton founded Buoy Beer in the garage of his house in Seaside. “It’s a fantastic thing to see craft beer really bring people out,” Hamilton said. “We’ve got people of all ages and all taste-bud sets.” Hamilton said Buoy Beer focuses on traditional Europe- an lager beers and Northwest ales. “We have some proto- cols in the brew house that border on philosophy,” Ham- ilton said. “We use extreme- ly clean yeast strains. The brewers are very dedicated to making sure the beers are ab- solutely balanced.” Shaun Barrick, head brew- er with Astoria Brewing Co., said of Astoria’s six brewer- ies: “We all kind of fill a dif- ferent niche in the market and get along great, so the more the merrier, as far as I can see. Craft beer is such a great boon. It helps keep dollars in local communities, it provides jobs and a great outlet for cre- ative energy.” Barrick showcased the company’s Harbor Coffee Cream Ale and Slack Tide IPA. Far and wide One of the most creative pouring stations — and cer- tainly the one with farthest distance traveled — was Mel- vin Brewing from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Co-founder and “Field Hoperative” Jeremy Tofte high-fived customers and donned an animal costume — moose? bear? donkey? — while beeristas offered tast- ings of Melvin’s 2X4 Dou- ble IPA, winner of “a bunch of gold medals all over the world,” according to Tofte, a Portland State University grad who described Jackson Hole’s brew scene as “burgeoning.” Tofte is on the fast track for celebrity — he’s profiled in this week’s issue of the na- tional Men’s Journal maga- zine. ‘A destination’ So what is it that brings all these superstars from far and wide to Seaside? “The coast is a destination and the people who live here, we’re superentrenched in our communities,” Seaside Brew- ing Co. owner Jimmy Griffin said. “We’re here to stay and PHOTOS DAMIAN MULINIX/EO MEDIA GROUP Beer-related T-shirts were not hard to find Saturday during the Pouring at the Coast event in Seaside.

Jimmy Griffin Seaside Brewing Co. owner we just pour ourselves into these beers.” Will Leroux of Public Coast Brewing, the newest entry to the beer scene in Can- non Beach, poured a tangerine IPA and a blonde ale. “I was a chef for about 30 years,” Leroux said. “I’ve been brewing for about 1 1/2 years and everybody has wel- comed me with open arms. It’s a brotherhood, not a com- petition.” Is there a particular North Coast brewing style? “As a region, people sense we really care about what we’re doing and the quality of these beers,” Griffin said. “You’ve got to be a weird duck to live on the north Or- egon Coast. It’s not a normal thing. So we’re not normal brewers. And we make beers that aren’t normal either. Peo- ple are really drawn to that. “I think the North Coast scene is exploding because it’s unique,” he added. “It’s got its own flavor. It’s very eclectic.” And the winner? The People’s Choice win- ner was Wild Ride Brewery for its Nut Crusher Peanut Butter Porter, the second year in a row this beer has won and third year in a row that the Wild Ride Brewery has tak- en the People’s Choice award home.
