We invite you to join us at the Seattle Center, where 80+ pumpkin and seasonal beers (plus a couple of surprises) from near and far will be poured, including twenty or so from Elysian Brewing’s pumpkin-crazed brewers.
For those who haven’t been to GPBF – during each session, we have a giant, several-hundred-pound pumpkin that is scooped, scorched, filled with pumpkin beer, sealed, conditioned, and then tapped at the fest for all to enjoy.
Beyond the beers, you can expect a costume contest, music, local food trucks, a pumpkin carving station, a pie-eating contest, and so much more.
