Clatsop Economic Devel-
opment Resources on March
21 honored local firms for
their impact on the North
Coast.
State Sen. Betsy Johnson,
D-Scappoose, also used the
annual business event to rec-
ognize outgoing state Rep.
Deborah Boone, D-Cannon
Beach. Boone is retiring from
the state House after her sev-
enth term ends in January.
Johnson hailed Boone’s
focus on emergency prepared-
ness, natural resources and
alternative energy. “Her ser-
vice to her district has been
modest, unassuming, capable
and focused,” the state senator
said. “She cares desperately
about fragile coastal econo-
mies.”
Local businesses were
nominated by the communi-
ty for their economic impact,
public service, entrepreneur-
ship and innovation.
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.
The restaurant now has six lo-
cations on the Oregon Coast
and in Portland.
Jeremy Mills, a State
Farm insurance agent based
in Seaside, won a small-busi-
ness award for service to the
community for his support of
youth programs.
Teevin Bros. Land and
Timber won an award for
service to the community
among large businesses. The
company is heavily involved
in local philanthropy. Owner
Shawn Teevin helped found
the Knappa Schools Founda-
tion to support his alma mater.

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.”

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.”
