The Lineup for This Weekend’s Great Pumpkin Beer Festival

Are you wondering what breweries will be pouring at this weekend’s Great Pumpkin Beer Festival? Well we now have a list of participating breweries. At least most of them. We also have a list of which beers Elysian will pour.

It is amazing what Dick Cantwell (the Pumpkin King) and his cohorts at Elysian Brewing have created. I am not sure if any of them ever imagined their little pumpkin beer fest would come to this, but it is one of the city’s most-beloved annual beer events of the year. What’s more, it continues to capture the attention of a national audience—primarily, other brewers who gaze in awe and wonder at the majesty of the GPBF.

A couple things of note, there will be something like 60 pumpkin beers on tap at any given moment. The exact selection will rotate throughout the weekend. Elysian Brewing is bringing at least 16 pumpkin beers of its own this year. Showoffs.

At least 40 breweries will be represented. I say at least because the actual number is a mystery. You’ll just have to come to the event and see. A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind man, say no more.
