Public Coast Brewing Company is a craft brewery located just off the main road in Cannon Beach. Its name nods to Oregon’s public shoreline laws, and the space reflects that spirit—casual, welcoming, and centered around community. The interior blends wood accents with industrial touches, with a compact indoor seating area, bar, and open-air patio out back.
The rotating beer list includes house staples like coconut brown ale and Stranger Tides IPA, alongside seasonal releases. Non-alcoholic options like house-made root beer and cream soda are also on tap. The food menu leans hearty and coastal, with grass-fed burgers, fish tacos, pulled pork sandwiches, and clam chowder. Nearly the entire menu can be made gluten-free, including beer-battered fish and chips, onion rings, and chowder—unusual for a brewpub and a draw for many diners.
The brewery sources produce and other ingredients from a nearby partner farm, which also offers seasonal events and roadside stops for travelers heading between Cannon Beach and Portland. Portions are generous, and the setup suits both casual drop-ins and longer hangouts over a flight or meal.
