Yes, do it. Plus, it's just Pelican, no bay. It's lovely there, and the beer, while not awesome, is solidly enjoyable. You will have a great time.
I haven't seen it in a while in bottles, but I really enjoyed their saison. I'd definitely give that one a go if they have it on tap.
I am heading down to rockaway next weekend (did the trip 2 years ago about same time, tried to pop into the pelican in pacific city and it was slammed; never got in for food, just grabbed some bottles). My question is how is the pelican brewery in Tillamook? Just as packed? (At least a shorter drive from rockaway).
