Seattle's Elysian Brewing is going the next step with the pumpkin beer trend: their Second Annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival. On three separate days at three of their locations, they'll be holding festivities and serving ten different pumpkin beers:
- Night Owl Pumpkin Ale
- The Great Pumpkin
- Dark O' the Moon Pumpkin Stout
- Purple Pumpkineater Lavender Saison
- Kürbitinus (dunkelweizen-ish)
- Portergeist (smoked porter)
- Steamy Hollow California Common Pumpkin Beer
- 3 guest beers
And:
At 4pm the tapping of the Pumpkin Conditioned Ale! An extremely large pumpkin filled with Portergeist smoked pumpkin porter, spiced in the pumpkin and allowed to go through a secondary fermentation in the pumpkin and tapped with traditional English cask taps.
That sounds like a lot of fun; I wish I lived closer to the Seattle area.
The event days are:
- October 21st at Elysian: Capitol Hill
Noon - 10pm - October 23rd through 27th at Elysian: TangleTown
- October 28th at Elysian Fields
Noon - 10pm
