Pilot House Distilling Opening its Third Tasting Room

Pilot House Distilling is spreading its roots and is headed for the beach. The distillery, which has been serving up spirits in its Astoria tasting room, has plans to launch a third tasting room in Cannon Beach in April.

Larry Cary, co-founder of Pilot House, is looking forward to the expansion and the chance to reach a wider audience on the Oregon coast.

“Cannon Beach has always been on my list of places to open a tasting room,” says Larry. “We have spent a lot of time in Cannon beach, and it is a beautiful place. I am glad to have this opportunity to finally showcase “The Spirits of the Coast” in a great coastal location.”

Larry and his wife Christina began Pilot House Distilling in 2013. Larry always had an interest in spirits and decided to venture into the world of distilling in 2011. Just two years later, the Carys opened their distillery and tasting room in downtown Astoria.

Pilot House offers a wide range of craft spirits including vodkas, gins, whiskies, agave spirits, and even absinthe. Their Astoria tasting room gives locals and visitors the chance to try favorites like their Painted Lady Gin, Chai Tea Vodka, and A-O Come Hell or High Water, a unique ocean-aged whisky aged on local fishing boats. Pilot House also offers a variety of canned cocktails.

In just a couple of short weeks, the same award-winning spirits will be available in Cannon Beach located at 224 N. Hemlock. Until then, guests can visit the Astoria tasting room (at 1270 Duane St.) Monday-Saturday 12 pm-6 pm and Sunday 12 pm-4 pm or Portland (at 4214 N. Mississippi) daily from 2 pm – 9 pm.
