Label Text Night Owl:

“The nocturnal creature that started it all, our signature pumpkin ale is brewed with real pumpkin and a chorus of nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, ginger and allspice. Notes of vanilla, caramel, and pumpkin culminate in a roasty finish. Night Owl is fall in a glass.”

Label Text Great Pumpkin:

“Great Pumpkin is the world’s first imperial pumpkin ale! Packed with pumpkin, fall spices, and a rich blend of specialty malts, this 8.4%-ABV award-winner will warm you to the core! More than just a beer it’s a legend.”

About Elysian Brewing:

We opened our doors in 1996 when bold art and music defined Seattle.

Over the past 25 years, we’ve carried this same spirit in the way we brew our beer – shaking up classic styles, using unusual ingredients, and learning from experimentation. We push creativity beyond the brews. Each beer label is made by our in-house team who pull inspiration from design, photography, clay, paint, needlepoint, and even the occasional tattoo.

Come chase down the rabbit hole with us.
