Elysian Brewing’s 20th Annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival Brings 80+ Pumpkin Beers to Seattle

Elysian Brewing, the masterminds behind the first-ever Imperial Pumpkin Ale – and the company that unleashed an official “Chucky” beer back in 2022 – is gearing up for the 20th Annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival, once again bringing together three of Elysian’s favorite things: pumpkin, beer and community.

The 21+ 20th anniversary event is taking place Friday October 4th + Saturday October 5th from 4PM-10PM at the Seattle Center on Harrison Street in Seattle, Washington.

The brewery previews, “As the largest purveyor of pumpkin beer in the country, Elysian Brewing is excited to bring back the pumpkin madness and celebrate 20 years of pumpkin beer with an impressive selection of 80+ beers and cider from local and national breweries, including eight new, exclusive brews from Elysian that will only be available at the festival!

“From decadent, aged pumpkin creations, rare offerings, seasonals and fresh hop delights, the selection for the 20th anniversary is not to be missed. Attendees will also have the chance to sip on beer straight from a several-hundred-pound pumpkin (pre-scooped and scorched before being filled with beer, then sealed and conditioned before being tapped live.)

“In addition to indulging in the best pumpkin brews, local DJs will be spinning wicked tracks, food trucks will be serving carnival food, attendees can get readings from a fortune teller and beer floats will be served in partnership with Bluebird Ice Cream!

“Plus, it wouldn’t be GPBF without a costume contest! This year’s theme is ORANGE. Join the revelry of pumpkin season worshippers and embrace the theme for your fest attire. Who knows, you might be crowned pumpkin royalty, but believe us, people go all out in this contest, so if you’re in it to win it, bring it.”

100% of ticket proceeds benefit The Vera Project, a non-profit dedicated to fostering personal and community transformation through collaborative engagement in music and art.
