Wayne Poole, co-owner of Pig ’N Pancake, won the innovation award for large businesses. His parents, Bob and Marianne Poole, opened the restaurant’s first location in downtown Seaside in 1961.

Don’t have to be Irish to love Pouring at the Coast Dark-hearted blonde, candy cap stout are local standouts By R.J. Marx Seaside Signal A Who’s Who of coast- al brews came to Seaside March 17 for the ninth annual Pouring at the Coast festival. Beermakers from Cannon Beach, Seaside, Astoria and well beyond shared their mag- ic as the event coincided with St. Patrick’s Day festivities, a wall of green everywhere. “This has been a fantastic day,” Brian Owen, executive director of the Seaside Cham- ber of Commerce said. “The weather broke — the sun came out — it’s called Ore- gon.” Owen proclaimed Satur- day’s event as one of the best attended days in event history. Guests mingled from dis- play to display, with occa- sional breaks for snacks or catching up with old friends. “People are running around, happy and drinking beer,” Brandy Stewart of the Seaside Chamber of Com- merce said. “Smooth as can be.” Stewart said 25 volunteers in two shifts helped with bill pouring, ticket sales, security — “You name it.” An hour into the event she 503-325-2861 FLOORING Newhall to be based out of Seaside Jessica Newhall D EL ’S O .K . R.J. MARX/SEASIDE SIGNAL Pouring at the Coast founder Jimmy Griffin of Seaside Brew- ing Co. and Ken Heman of the Seaside Visitors Bureau. said she anticipated about 1,200 guests. Local breweries, including co-sponsor Seaside Brewing Co., along with Buoy and Cannon Beach’s Public Coast and Pelican brewers, stood out among the more than 30 brewers from around the Pa- cific Northwest. Pelican Brewing Co.’s head brewer Bryce Snyder came up from Pacific City, where he joined Trevor Mc- Lean, assistant general man- ager of Pelican’s Cannon Beach location. “We’re getting a ton of visitors,” McLean said. “They’re coming back for the dark-hearted blonde,” he said, referring to the Sleepy Monk inspired stout with a coffee infusion. “We brewed a second batch in Pacific City, and this is our brewer Bryce Snyder.” Seaside’s Stephanie Ste- venson of Rascals volun- teered with Ecliptic Brewing of northeast Portland, Daria Stein, who though posted next to Gearhart chamber volunteer Andrew Stein, is no relation. Buoy Beer’s founding brewer Dan Hamilton and his daughter Jessyka Dart-Mc- Lean, events and marketing manager of Buoy, poured a European lager and a Czech pils. Public Coast’s master brewer Will Leroux, attend- ing his second Pouring at the Coast event, presented his award-winning ’67 Blonde Ale and Candy Cap Russian Imperial Stout, a maple-, caramel- and pecan-flavored beer from a local mushroom, the candy cap. The concoc- tion proved a favorite with Jim Paino, newly appointed director of the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce and Cannon Beach Police Chief Jason Schermerhorn as they showed support for the local craft brew scene. Seaside Brewing Co.’s Jimmy Griffin described the event’s “exciting vibe.” “We’ve got some brewer- ies you don’t see a whole lot out this way,” he said. “People are breaking out the seasonals. A lot of breweries send things out here as a ‘live lab,’ to see how it’s going to fly for the rest of the festival season.” Griffin said there are more brewers than ever. “Some of them are into their business more than the brotherhood. But out on the coast, specifi- cally, everybody’s really tight and everybody helps each other out. The North Coast is going to become its own beer destination in and of it- self. We think it’s unique and we’re glad to be part of it.” Flooring Installation Carpet Cleaning 3470 Hwy 101 Suite 102 • Gearhart, Oregon 503.739.7577 • carpetcornergearhart.com CONSTRUCTION Randall Lee’s 0% FINANCING AVAILABLE Window Treatments, Fabric, Designer Wallpaper, Visit Our Counter Tops, All Flooring and Miele Vacuums Outlet! 2311 N.
