Pacific City, Ore. — Just in time for spring, Pelican Brewing Company has released two exciting new special-release beers: Mr. Lager’s Neighborhood and Overboard Triple IPA.
Mr. Lager’s Neighborhood: A Packaged Collaboration with Grand Fir Brewing
Pelican Brewing, an independent and locally owned Oregon brewery, has launched a new collaboration series to celebrate and support independent breweries across the craft beer community.
The first release, Mr. Lager’s Neighborhood, is a joint creation between Pelican brewmaster Darron Welch and Grand Fir Brewing brewmaster Whitney Burnside in Southeast Portland. The two share a longtime connection—Burnside trained under Welch at the original Pelican Brewpub in Pacific City and later won her first Great American Beer Festival medal there.
“We want to pay tribute to the hardworking brewers who are pursuing their passions every day and making great beers for their neighborhoods,” said Darron Welch. “Working with Whitney on this first release was such a fun way to honor our shared history and natural partnership. It was a true delight to create something together again and toast to the future of the industry as a team.”
Mr. Lager’s Neighborhood is a 5.7% ABV lager featuring bright Strata and Cashmere hops with tasting notes of honeydew, tangerine, and marionberry. It’s a friendly, approachable beer that reminds drinkers “it’s a beautiful day in the brewery.”
The beer is brewed and packaged at Pelican’s Tillamook production brewery. Both breweries are co-marketing the release and sharing revenue from the co-branded product.
Overboard Triple IPA: A Bold New Addition
Pelican Brewing has also introduced Overboard Triple IPA, a powerhouse 10.2% ABV beer inspired by the wild spirit of the Oregon Coast.
“Overboard is brewed for moments that match its adventurous spirit,” said brewmaster Darron Welch. “This beer is your companion for unforgettable coastal experiences—from watching waves crash against rugged cliffs, to sharing stories around a beach bonfire, to celebrating a hard-earned summit with friends.”
Packed with vibrant pine and citrus aromatics, intense hop character, and a clean Northwest finish, Overboard delivers bold depth while remaining smooth and drinkable.
Availability
Both new spring releases—Mr. Lager’s Neighborhood and Overboard Triple IPA—are now available on draft and in six-packs of 12-ounce cans at all Pelican Brewing locations and select retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, and Idaho).
