The Brew Site
Seems like everywhere you look, there’s a new hazy pale/IPA/imperial IPA on the market; they’re what sells right now, and breweries are churning through recipes to try to find one or more stick. Most of the beer samples I’ve received of late include at least one hazy ale so there … Continue reading
Seattle’s Elysian Brewing Company is rolling out its newest beer, Full Contact Imperial Hazy IPA, and on Friday last week I received a six-pack of cans from the company to sample it. It’s an expansion to the brewery’s “Contact” family (you can read my review of Contact Haze here), and … Continue reading
It’s been awhile since I’ve had beers from Elysian Brewing, probably since the last time the Great Pumpkin Roadshow came through town, because—let’s be honest—the AB InBev ownership is a deterrent, especially with so many other great local options available. But there’s no doubt Elysian brews good beer, and recently … Continue reading

The news is all over the internet and social media this morning: Anheuser-Busch is buying Seattle’s Elysian Brewing! I am completely stunned by this news, even moreso than the 10 Barrel news from last year—I never would have though Elysian would sell to AB. From the AB press release: Anheuser-Busch … Continue reading
For the last several years Elysian Brewing has been following up their Great Pumpkin Beer Fest with a smaller-scale, traveling version: their Pumpkin Roadshow which is landing in Eugene tomorrow and running through the rest of the month. Here’s the press release: Couldn’t make it up to Seattle for Elysian’s … Continue reading
I’m only about a week behind on writing about last weekend’s Great Pumpkin Beer Fest at Elysian Brewing in Seattle (at their Georgetown brewery, really), but I have to say it was again an epic beer festival and reaffirms my notion last year that this is right at the top … Continue reading
Better late than never: a big collection of pictures I took at the Elysian Great Pumpkin Beer Fest at the beginning of this month. (See also my earlier wrap up.) Not much to explain here, just enjoy!
