Cheers to 25 Years! 🍻

We teamed up with Beachcrest Brewing Company to celebrate 25 years of Lincoln City’s Finders Keepers program with a brew as special as our iconic glass floats. 🔮

The Finders Keepers IPA balances tropical fruit and citrus hop aromas with a smooth malt backbone, creating an approachable craft beer that pairs perfectly with a day of beach exploration.

Available on draft and in 16 oz. cans starting February 1, 2025 at Beachcrest Brewing Company in the Salishan Marketplace. 🍺

🎉 We can’t wait to celebrate 25 incredible years of Finders Keepers in 2025!

Since the turn of the millennium in 2000, hand-made glass floats have been hidden along the beaches of Lincoln City as part of this iconic scavenger hunt, inspired by the glass fishing floats commonly found here in the past. Over the years, it’s become a beloved tradition and a defining part of Lincoln City’s charm.

We’ll kick the year off during opening weekend, January 3–5, with a special drop of 100 glass floats—the best odds of the entire year to snag one!

We then have an exciting lineup of activities planned for the new year, including free commemorative glass coins, limited-edition metallic glass floats, in-person events, collaborations with local businesses, and the 25 Years of Finders Keepers exhibit, now open at the
