“Kiwanda has always reflected our roots, with its name celebrating Cape Kiwanda, the heart of our Oregon Coast town and the birthplace of Pelican Brewing Company,” says Welch. “With this refreshed look, combined with the same classic taste, we aim to convey the true spirit of the region that rings true in our brews – adventurous, inspiring, approachable and united around the love of great beer.”

“When we combine our lifelong passions, deep connections, and love for the Pacific Northwest, something truly magical happens,” said Mary Jones, Founder and CEO of Pelican Brewing Company. “Kiwanda was created to embody the camaraderie and togetherness that the Pacific Northwest is renowned for, making every conversation and every sunset shared with our beer an unforgettable experience.
