First low-calorie, low-carb offering from award-winning coastal brewery centers on popular IPA style, available throughout the Pacific Northwest PACIFIC CITY, Ore. (Oct. 15, 2026) — Pelican Brewing Company is wading into the light beer category by tackling a high-stakes beer style in the Pacific Northwest: IPA. The new Pelican Lite IPA, a full-flavored, low-carb and low-calorie brew for beer lovers, is crafted specially for the region’s active lifestyle. With three grams of carbs and 122 calories in one 12-ounce serving, this is a feel-good IPA that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Featuring notes of crisp citrus and pine, with a clean, dry finish and vibrant hop character, Pelican Lite IPA is flavorful without being filling. With just a fraction of the carbs and roughly half the calories of traditional IPAs, Pelican Lite IPA could be expected to be light on taste and drinkability. However, the brew’s ABV of 5.4%, an anomaly in the light beer category, gives the beverage its body and allows it to stand up well on its own or paired with a meal. As Pelican celebrates 30 years in business, this new release proves the brewery’s passion for craft innovation continues to define the brand and shows no signs of slowing down. IPAs have consistently been a favorite style among the Pacific Northwest’s discerning craft brew drinkers, and formulating a recipe for a light version that would live up to PNW expectations could have a been a daunting process for some. Pelican, however, embraced the journey and experimented with several variations until finding the right recipe. “We set out to craft a light beer that would hit all the marks of a traditional IPA, from the first sip to the last,” said Darron Welch, Pelican’s Founding Brewmaster. “Cutting carbs and calories didn’t mean we had to scale back on the flavor experience, and as a result, beer lovers now have a wider choice in how to cap off their latest Pacific Northwest adventure.” Pelican Lite IPA is brewed and packaged in Pelican’s Tillamook production brewery and is available in six-packs, 12-ounce cans, 50-liter kegs and 1/6 barrels at all Pelican Brewing locations and select retailers throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Northern California. The new low-cal, low-carb IPA is already hitting store shelves. Find a local retailer by visiting pelicanbrewing.com/beer-finder/. Light versions of other Pelican favorites will join the lineup in 2027. About Pelican Brewing Company Born at the beach in 1996, Pelican Brewing Company is celebrating 30 years as Oregon’s only beachfront brewpub and one of the state’s most-decorated breweries (450+ awards). Playful but not frivolous, Pelican brews with purpose, passion and deep respect for the craft. The brewery operates coastal restaurants in Pacific City, Cannon Beach, Siletz Bay, Rockaway and Yachats; a production facility and taproom in Tillamook. Pelican beers can be found at Pelican locations and in stores across Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Northern California. Learn more on the Pelican Brewing website or Instagram.

Eric Rabinoff's Appointed as Director of Sales at Weed CellarsFrom Weed Cellars:

LOS ANGELES, CA  – 14 July 2020 – Weed CellarsTM today announced the appointment of
Eric Rabinoff as its Senior Vice President of Sales. Rabinoff, who was previously Senior Vice
President of Sales and Marketing at Enovation Brands, has spent his entire career within the
alcohol space, including 26 years in sales at Don Sebastiani & Sons, most recently as Senior
Vice President of Sales; National Sales Manager.


It was during Rabinoff’s tenure at Sebastiani, that he met Jim Moeller who is currently a
Managing Partner at Weed Cellars. “Over this past year, Jim has been updating me on the
development of Weed Cellars,” he says. “When Jim told me Weed Cellars was positioned to
roll-out nationally, I knew this role was for me. From the cutting-edge name and packaging to its
marketing strategies, the company takes everything I have ever learned and admired and
catapults it to the next level.”


Weed Cellars is a lifestyle brand comprising a highly-rated portfolio of wines, straight bourbon
whiskey, beer and ale. Behind Weed Cellars works an impressive team of creative and sharp
advisors, including business savants, country music icons and sports stars, who further
perpetuate the brand’s reach through their own respective channels of public relations, social
media, concerts and events.


The brand’s Weed Light beer is a proud partner of the Gary Sinise Foundation, while Weed
Straight Bourbon Whiskey (retail price $39.99), not yet on shelves, has already received a
93-point rating from Tasting Panel Magazine’s Meridith May.


“Simply put, we wanted the best National Sales Manager the industry has to offer,” says Jim
Moeller of Rabinoff’s appointment. “Eric is connected to the alcohol business’s most relevant
distributors and has a proven track record of building successful teams.”


Weed Cellars pioneered the concept of a single brand transcending multiple alcohol categories,
a move not previously seen within the alcohol space. “Having a portfolio consisting of beer,
bourbon whiskey and wine is virtually unheard of in this industry,” Rabinoff states. “All brands
have a life cycle, and the ability to discover new and exciting brands that create an emotional
connection with the customer is the key to their future success. This is what generates the
revenue stream that the trade is constantly clamoring to find.”


Weed Cellars’ 750ml wines’ $14.99 price-point has undoubtedly contributed to the brand’s
accessibility and explains its seamless roll-out; the wines are consistently scoring 90, 91 and 92
in consumer and alcohol trade publications across the board – unusually high points for a wine
at this price point. Additionally, Weed Cellars’ Prosecco 750 ml, is set to release in August of2020, and will retail at $12.99. Its 120 oz. canned beers retail at $8.99 and $15.99 for a six-pack
and 12-pack, respectively.


Weed Cellars is currently sold in Pavillions, H-E-B, and Spec’s among other retailers across the
country.

THROOP IS NEW WEED CELLARS V.P. SALES, WEST DANE THROOP IS NEW WEED CELLARS V.P. SALES, WEST

LOS ANGELES, CA – 28 July 2020 – Weed Cellars™ today announced the appointment of Dane Throop (C.S.W.) as its Vice President of Sales, West.

Throop who was previously Divisional Director of Sales, West, at Enovation Brands, has spent 25 years working in the alcohol industry, including 12 years in sales at Don Sebastiani & Sons, most recently as Western Regional Manager.

Today Throop is charged with driving Weed Cellars sales across the western regional United States in the categories of wine, beer and spirits. “Weed Cellars is a dymanic and cutting-edge company that is changing the face of the entire aclohol space,” he enthused.

Throop entered the bar industry straight out of college, taking up the position of bartender at the-then-very-popular R.J.’s of Beverly Hills, California. He quickly moved up to Beverage Director at Malibu-based Gladstone’s for Morfood-N-Fun. From there Dane advanced his career on the other side of the equation, representing top-tier brands to distributors and licensees.

On the subject of Weed Cellars’ portfolio favorites, Throop quipped: “I’m a Paso Robles fan so I’m partial to the Weed Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon ($14.99 retail). Then I tasted Weed Straight Bourbon Whiskey ($39.99 retail), and I confess that my head was turned”. “I’m super charged about returning to the beer world too, and since our Weed Light beer partners with the Gary Sinise Foundation, my motivation to drive this brand is even more inspired.”

Weed Cellars’ Senior Vice President of Sales, Eric Rabinoff said “Dane has incredibly strong relationships with distribution management key personnel as well as on- and off-premise accounts across the entire western territory. He’s intrenched in the alcohol business and I look forward to witnessing his great leadership and mangment skills.”
