Beer writer Ben McFarland noted that the Pelican is “perched right on the beach and a multiple-medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival, is a stunning place to sit, with your feet in the sand, and sip a sprightly Saison du Pelican or Stormwatcher – a smoldering soul-stoking barley wine with touches of tobacco, cinnamon and smoke”.
