Pelican Pub & Brewery Wins Medals in International Beer Competition
The Pelican Pub & Brewery recently claimed gold and silver medals in the Association of Brewers (AOB) World Beer Cup® 2004.
Pacific City, Oregon – April 20, 2004 – The Pelican Pub & Brewery recently claimed gold and silver medals in the Association of Brewers (AOB) World Beer Cup® 2004, a global beer competition that evaluates beers from around the world and recognizes the most outstanding beers being produced in the world today.
Gold, silver and bronze medals in the competition's 81 beer-style categories were awarded April 17, 2004 during the World Beer Cup Gala Awards Ceremony and Dinner at the Town and Country Resort in San Diego, Calif., U.S.A.
The Pelican Pub & Brewery earned a gold medal in the Golden/Blonde Ale category for its Kiwanda Cream Ale and a silver medal in the Foreign-Style Stout category for its Tsunami Stout. Kiwanda Cream Ale is inspired by pre-Prohibition American cream ales, and has a pale gold color with a fruity, floral hop aroma. A sweet, malty flavor and a smooth dry finish round out this tasty, refreshing brew. Tsunami Stout is a full-bodied, midnight-colored stout that features a rich aroma reminiscent of espresso, molasses, and dark cocoa, and a smooth, rounded bittersweet flavor and finish. Both beers have won numerous previous awards, including gold medals at the Great American Beer Festival in 2000.
The Pelican Pub & Brewery is a 1000-bbl. brewpub located on the beachfront in Pacific City, Oregon that specializes in distinctively American beers. "It is a real honor to win medals at the World Beer Cup," states Darron Welch, Head Brewer at the Pelican Pub & Brewery, "it is a hugely competitive beer festival that recognizes excellent beers from all over the world."
World Beer Cup 2004 winners were selected by an international panel of 93 beer judges from an impressive field of 1,594 entries received from 392 breweries in 40 countries. More than 3,800 breweries in 100 countries were invited to compete.
The 93 judges were from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Nicaragua, UK, and the United States.
"With such a diverse list of entrants and winners, we are confident in saying that the World Beer Cup is truly an international competition that is both capable and skillful at recognizing global beer excellence," states Nancy Johnson, director of the competition. "Without a doubt, a World Beer Cup winner can truly boast that it is one of the best beers in the world."
