The Beer Junction Presents Pumpkin Junction, Oct. 13 thru 19

Elysian Brewing Company –the undisputed king of pumpkin beers– may have helped set the trend, but a lot of breweries now dabble in the art of pumpkin beer. Along with a host of our local breweries, Beer Valley Brewing, The Bruery, and Uinta Brewing are just a few of the breweries featured at the first-ever Pumpkin Junction (Oct. 13-19). In fact, this week-long celebration of pumpkin beers even offers an opportunity to try a Pumpkin cider. The event also features the first pumpkin lambic to ever pour in Washington and beer floats made with ice cream from the world famous Husky Deli. Think of Pumpkin Junction as a week-long pre-function for the Elysian Great Pumpkin Beer Festival (Oct. 19-20).

The Beer Junction (blog sponsor) will dedicate half of its 16 taps (soon to be 20 taps) to a rotating selection of pumpkin beers from breweries near and far. Pumpkin Junction runs from October 13 through October 19. Taster trays are available and so are growlers to go. Of course, you can also just enjoy a pint. A complete list of the beers is included in the press release below.

In case you’ve never been, or have not been since they moved into their new digs on California Avenue, the Beer Junction offers the beer selection of a great bottleshop (something like 1,200 beers) combined with a rotating selection of beers on tap. They sell pints and have growlers to go. The Beer Junction is a 21+ establishment located in the heart of The Junction business district–aka, downtown West Seattle.

Here is the Pumpkin Junction press release:
