The Great Pumpkin..

..Beer Festival took place at the Elysian Brewery this Saturday. If Linus and Charlie Brown were 21 they would have been there enjoying the thirteen different pumpkin beers (plus 1 butternut squash beer) alongside us.



At least half of the beers were made at the Elysian specifically for the occasion. Some of the other breweries included Glacier Brewhouse from Anchorage, AK, Elliott Bay Brewing from Seattle, Snoqualmie Falls Brewing from Washington, and Dogfish Head. Beers were served individually or as a sampler.







The Great Pumpkin itself arose not over the pumpkin patch, but over the many beer enthusiasts. The brewmasters used their "Night Owl" original pumpkin beer recipe and brewed the beer inside the pumpkin seen below. Given the brewing conditions it was not the most carbonated of beers, but it did have an incredibly distinct pumpkin flavor.
