Elysian’s 12th Annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival

by | Jul 29, 2016

For its 12th year, Elysian Brewing Company will move its Great Pumpkin Beer Festival to Elysian Fields and the North Lot of CenturyLink Field for one day only. During the pumpkin-themed event, more than 80 pumpkin beers will be poured, including Night Owl, The Great Pumpkin, Dark o’ the Moon, and Punkuccino from Elysian’s pumpkin-crazed brewers, along with pumpkin beers from around the country.

Also during the Great Pumpkin Beer Festival, the Elysian team will officially tap a giant, several-hundred pound pumpkin that has been scooped, scorched, filled with pumpkin beer and then sealed and conditioned for all attendees to enjoy.

Guests are encouraged to embrace the color of the festival (orange) in any way they would like to represent. Pumpkin Fest judges will wade through the crowds to select the most festive to win a thirst-quenching prize.

The event arrives one week after Elysian’s 2nd annual Great Pumpkin Weigh-Off on October 1st.  Free and open to all ages, the event will feature the biggest and best pumpkins grown from the local farmers, and the winning pumpkin will receive the honor of being tapped at GPBF.

The Great Pumpkin Beer Festival will be held Saturday, Oct. 8, from 3 – 10 p.m. Tickets are $28 per person and will be available for purchase for those 21+ at all four Elysian locations and online starting Aug. 1. A designated driver ticket is available for $5 per person online only.
