Master of Pumpkin – Elysian Brewing Releases Pumpkin Beer Line-Up

More great craft beer news from Elysian Brewing:

As the founders of the Great Pumpkin Beer Festival (in its 13th year!) with over two decades of brewing pumpkin-infused brews, Elysian is not only obsessed with pumpkins but committed to brewing the perfect recipe. Their pumpkin-infused ales lineup is as follows:

• Night Owl Pumpkin Ale (6.7% ABV; in 12 oz; 22 oz, draft) – A very drinkable pumpkin ale —brewed with seven and a half pounds of pumpkin per barrel and spiced in conditioning with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice.
• The Great Pumpkin Imperial Pumpkin Ale (8.4% ABV; in 22 oz, draft) – Pours deep copper with ghostly white head. Intense pumpkin, sugar and spice on the nose with a nice bready and malty backdrop to tame all those autumn spices into a remarkably smooth, balanced and delectable fall treat. Extra pumpkin and roasted seeds are added to the mash, kettle and fermenter. Spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice.
• Dark O’ The Moon Pumpkin Stout (7.5% ABV; in 22 oz, draft) – This pumpkin stout pours dark as night with a creamy tan head. A slight smokiness on the nose with malty bittersweet chocolate and a little coffee with subtle earthy pumpkin and spices for an overall nice and creamy mouth.
• Punkuccino Coffee Pumpkin Ale – (6% ABV; in 22 oz, draft) – Beer and caffeine. Why not? A pumpkin ale with the attitude of a world-weary barista, Punkuccino packs a short shot of Stumptown coffee in your pint with just a shake of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Each will be available in select markets starting in September, as well as on-site at Elysian’s 13th annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival in Seattle.
