Elysian Brewing Co. is hosting its annual Great Pumpkin Festival this weekend, starting at 12:00 noon, Saturday October 10 and ending at 6:00 PM, Sunday, October 11.
Elliott Bay’s contributions this year will include both a CASK-conditioned version of our Organic Mashing Pumpkin Ale, aged with bourbon-soaked oak chips, and another keg aged with rum-soaked oak chips. Both are quite subtle, despite weighing in at over 7.5% ABV!
We’ll be hosting our next Burien Beer Dinner on Wednesday, November 11, 2009.
The food offerings and beer pairings are still being worked out, but we’ve sold these out in the past, so be sure to get your reservations early.
Call 206.246.4211 or come by and visit us to get the latest word on this upcoming event that is sure to be full of culinary and fermented delights.
TOMORROW we celebrate the arrival of autumn by hosting an OKTOBERFEST in our West Seattle pub. Bonnie Birch’s Bavarian Band will perform from 2:00-4:00 and 5:00-10:00 PM.
Festive food items include:
-Traditional Bavarian Pretzel

TODAY: Friday is the final day of our week-long Celebration-o-Hops in West Seattle. To close the week out we will be pouring two beers featuring the use of fresh hops from Gamache Ranch near Yakima:
1) Hop Harvest Ale: brewed in Burien using fresh Amarillo hops in the brew kettle and dry-hopped in the fermenter with Amarillo, Columbus, and Centennial pellets.
2) Fresh Hopped Elliott Bay IPA: we stuffed as much fresh Amarillo hops into the keg as was feasible, then filled the keg with our house Elliott Bay IPA. Tasting next to the regular and dry-hopped versions will make for an interesting comparison opportunity.
