Public Coast Brewing Unveils Special-Edition Beer Honoring Stephanie Inn Ranked #1 Best in the West by Travel + Leisure

CANNON BEACH, Ore. (August 19, 2025) – Public Coast Brewing Co. is proud to unveil “My Favorite Sister,” a special limited-edition beer brewed in celebration of its sister property, the Stephanie Inn, recently honored as the #1 Resort in the West by Travel + Leisure’s 2025 World’s Best Awards.

“To celebrate this incredible achievement, we created ‘My Favorite Sister’, an imperial blonde ale with boysenberries dedicated to the Stephanie Inn,” said Ben Christianson, brewer at Public Coast Brewing. “It also marks our 1,000th batch, which makes this release all the more meaningful.”

“Being named the Best Resort in the West by Travel + Leisure is an extraordinary honor,” said Ryan Snyder, President and Owner of the Stephanie Inn. “It’s a proud moment for Cannon Beach hospitality, and we’re thrilled to share this celebration with our community through a beer thoughtfully brewed by our Cannon Beach family.”

“My Favorite Sister” is a 7.5% ABV imperial blonde ale brewed with ripe boysenberry purée, lending a subtle tartness to its golden, full-bodied base. The beer features a blend of Carafoam and Caramel 10 malts, balanced with notes of vanilla, Willamette hops, and Lemon Drop hops for a smooth, flavorful finish.

The beer will be available for a limited time in 16 oz single cans and four-packs at the Public Coast Farmstand in Banks, on tap at the brewpub in Cannon Beach, and also at the Stephanie Inn.

About Public Coast Brewing

Located just 70 miles west of Portland in Cannon Beach, Ore., Public Coast Brewing is named after the only true public coastlines in America: the Oregon Coast. The brewery features a 10bbl Brewhouse with two 30-barrel fermenters, two 20-barrel fermenters, and four 10-barrel fermenters. Public Coast Brewing also offers fresh and delicious fare from local farms and ranches, including their own - Public Coast Farm. Boasting a large pet-friendly patio, large community-style outdoor fire pit, and an open brewhouse easily viewed from the bar, Public Coast Brewing offers a relaxed and welcoming spot for the whole family. 

About Public Coast Farm

Oregon’s historic Route 26, known to Portlanders as the Sunset Highway, has welcomed generations of families traveling to and from the coast on its forested byway. Now Public Coast Farm sits on that very route, straddling West Dairy Creek at the base of the Coastal Range, on a 40-acre site lush with blueberry bushes, beehives, fruit orchards and hops. The farm is fertile ground for the farm’s sister properties - the Stephanie Inn and Public Coast Brewing Co. - each of which incorporate Public Coast Farm’s fresh ingredients into delicious dishes and seasonal beers.
