Buoy Beer Company is a certified independent brewery through the Brewers Association, opened by Astoria entrepreneur Luke Colvin and brewmaster Dan Hamilton. The brewery is housed within the former Calvin family cannery building and offers a taproom and brewpub restaurant serving a variety of contemporary coastal dishes emphasizing locally-caught seafood. Its name is a reference to the mighty nearby Columbia River, which flows into the Pacific Ocean and has been a central factor in the region’s modern development. Popular beer styles brewed include a Helles German lager, a Czech-style pilsner, a Northwest-style red ale, and an American pale ale. Seasonal and specialty brews offered include a Midnight Harvest dark saison, a single-hop IPA, and a Summer Slam blonde sour ale.
