Great Pumpkin Beer Festival / Brew at the Zoo

By Iron Chef Leftovers

There are two upcoming beer events of note in Seattle.

On October 8th and 9th, Elysian Brewing is going to hold its annual Pumpkin Beer Festival at their new Georgetown production brewery. There will be 50(!!) pumpkin beers on tap, including the Pumpkin Aged Great Pumpkin (it is Great Pumpkin aged in a hollowed out pumpkin), 11 from Elysian and a bunch of gets breweries from as far away as Norway. Tickets are $20 and there will be some food trucks on site for the event.

On Friday, October 14th, Woodland Park Zoo is hosting its first (hopefully annual) Brew at the Zoo. There will be 14 breweries, featuring brews from local favorites Fremont Brewing, Lazy Boy, Georgetown and Mac & Jacks (Annie S – Pyramid will also be there pouring Snowcap.) Tickets are $20 in advance and get you admission to the event, 10 tastes, and access to the zoo’s penguin and jaguar exhibits (the rest of the zoo is closed during the event) as well as some animal encounters. Proceeds benefit the zoo. Please pass this information on to anyone who may be interested and come help make this event a success. I will be there helping out at the event as a volunteer, so come by and say hello.
