The Start of Summer: A New Beer from Pelican Brewing Company
The Inspiration
As we gear up for the long-awaited summer months, Pelican Brewing Company has brought us a refreshing new beer that will have you craving the beach. The Sunrise Surfer Blonde Ale is a celebration of the early mornings on the coast, filled with the excitement of catching the perfect wave. The inspiration for the beer came from the co-founders Jeff Schons and Mary Jones’ memories of waking up early to go surfing and enjoying a refreshing beer afterwards. They wanted to create a beer that captured the feeling of those mornings perfectly.
The Recipe
After much experimentation, Pelican Brewing Company finally settled on a recipe that perfectly captures the essence of the sunrise. The Sunrise Surfer Blonde Ale is a light and crisp beer that’s perfect for hot summer days. The beer is brewed with pale and Vienna malts, which gives it a golden color and a slightly sweet aroma. To balance out the sweetness, the beer is hopped with a trio of hops – Chinook, Amarillo, and Mosaic – that gives it a subtle bitterness. Finally, the beer is fermented with a neutral ale yeast that allows the flavors to shine through.
The Taste Experience
From the first sip of the Sunrise Surfer Blonde Ale, you’ll find yourself transported to the beach. The beer is light and refreshing with a slightly sweet taste that’s perfectly balanced by the bitterness of the hops. The beer has a smooth mouthfeel and a crisp finish, making it the perfect beer to enjoy after a long day of surfing or soaking up the sun. The beer is also versatile and pairs well with a variety of foods, making it a great beer to enjoy with friends and family.

Pelican Brewing Company has always been known for their beautiful packaging, and the Sunrise Surfer Blonde Ale is no exception. The beer is packaged in a 22oz bottle that features a stunning sunrise on the label.
