“You feel really seen and taken care of when you go into Oregon Coast Bank”

When Amy and Matt White moved from Colorado to the Oregon Coast, they brought more than their love for ocean views—they brought a vision. Back home, community-focused breweries had become a staple in their lives, a third place where friends, families, and neighbors could gather. Inspired to create something similar in Gleneden Beach, the couple jumped at the chance when a property near the coast became available.

In June 2017, they began construction on Beachcrest Brewing. “There were a lot of challenges from changing local county ordinance to operating through COVID to adding the kitchen and becoming a restaurant. It’s exciting to look back and see that we navigated them successfully, and just see how far Beachcrest has come.”

Since opening in late 2018, Beachcrest Brewing has become a local favorite—known not just for its craft beer, but for its commitment to the community. Live music, local events, and a growing menu all support a welcoming space for neighbors and visitors alike. Their motto says it all: Coastal. Community. Craft.

Amy and Matt say that community support—including their partnership with Oregon Coast Bank—has made all the difference. “I really enjoy working with Oregon Coast Bank because it’s really a community vibe when you go in. Everywhere else feels like another person walking in the door. You feel seen and taken care of.” 

That personal connection extends to Beachcrest Brewing’s local branch. “The branch manager, Jedd, is super supportive and ready to answer questions and handle anything that comes up.” says White. For Beachcrest Brewing, banking locally means more than financing. It means having someone in their corner.

As Beachcrest continues to expand its space and offerings, their goals remain the same: “building a strong foundation to continue to grow and cultivate our community.” Oregon Coast Bank is proud to support that mission and toast to the people behind it.
