Pumpkin season is just around the corner, and Elysian’s Great Pumpkin Beer Festival, one of the country's most iconic fall beer festivals, is officially back!
Tickets go on sale on August 5 at www.elysianbrewing.com/node/939 for the 22nd Annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival, which returns to Elysian Brewing's newly renovated Capitol Hill brewpub on Saturday, October 3. Reimagined in a new single-day format, this year's festival honors the legacy of Elysian's original pub while introducing an immersive experience that celebrates more than two decades of pumpkin beer innovation.
The Great Pumpkin Beer Festival has become a must-attend event for craft beer enthusiasts and Seattlelites, drawing sold-out crowds each year with more than 60 pumpkin and fall harvest beers from breweries across the country.
Beyond the beer, guests can expect the signature experiences that have made GPBF a fall tradition, including:
- The iconic giant pumpkin keg tapping, where a several-hundred-pound pumpkin is carved, scorched, filled with beer, and tapped live
- Live DJ sets throughout the day
- A festive costume contest
- Local food trucks
- The fan-favorite pumpkin pie-eating showdown
- Unexpected surprises that unfold throughout the festival
