This special, once a year beer is produced with 420 pounds of freshly picked, "wet" Sterling hops from Goschie Farms in Silverton, OR. The hops were only 3 hours from the vine when they went into the kettle. The mash tun was also used as a hop back, holding 300 pounds of hops!!! This beer features a huge floral, spicy, grassy aroma with a firm malt background and a huge, snappy hop finish. Produced using one malt, one hop variety, one yeast and pure coastal water, this is truly an elemental beer. This years version of Elemental Ale was inspired by Nigel Tufnel and his amp that goes to eleven, and to celebrate Head Brewer Darron Welch’s eleven years of brewing at the Pelican Pub & Brewery
