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.

Wild Leap Celebrates Four Years of Beers With Exclusive Birthday Month Series

From Wild Leap:

LAGRANGE, GA (September 14, 2021): Wild Leap is introducing the newest additions to their craft beer lineup with the announcement of the Birthday Beer series, which will be released this month.

September marks four years of Wild Leap Brew Company and the celebration lasts all month long! Wild Leap will be releasing a lineup of four exclusive beers, as well as serving themed
cocktails and specialty drinks in the taproom. Select beer releases will be available for distribution, as well as curbside pickup.

The releases in the “Four Years of Beers” Birthday Month Series will take place as follows:

Release 1: “Cryo Hop IIPA Trial Blend Mango” and “Cryo Hop IIPA Trial Blend
Blueberry” – 8% ABV
● Smooth and fruity flavor profile
● Available exclusively in the taproom


Release 2: “Hop Latte Cold Brew” Double IPA – 8.3% ABV
● Rich and creamy flavor profile
● Available for distribution and in the taproom


Release 3: “BA Stout” – 13.5% ABV
● Rich and bold flavor profile
● Available exclusively in the taproom


Release 4: “Flowers and Fruit” Double IPA – 7.8% ABV
● Floral and fruity flavor profile
● Available for distribution and in the taproom

“This is our favorite time of year for brewing because we can really pull out all the stops and make some unique one-off beers using our favorite ingredients,” says Wild Leap Chief Brewing Officer, Chris Elliott. “For example, we have IPAs featuring huge amounts of our favorite hops, including a Coffee IPA that we have been working on for a few years. We are also finally emptying beer from barrels that we filled months ago just for this celebration. We have so many fun new beers that will all be available during our anniversary party and through limited distribution. We can’t wait!
