Elysian Brewing to release three new pumpkin collaboration beers at annual event
This year the collaboration came in threes, first with Jamie Floyd of Eugene’s Ninkasi Brewing blowing into town to produce Hopsquash, a pumpkin IPA generously hopped with Sorachi Ace, a distinctive Japanese variety. Next up was a trio in from Beau’s All Natural Brewing Co. in Vankleek Hill, Ontario. Together with Dick and Steve Luke at Elysian Fields they brewed Oiseau de Nuit, a pumpkin gruit brewed without hops but with bog myrtle, yarrow and roasted cumin seed. Last but not least, Tomme Arthur from Lost Abbey/Port Brewing brought his expertise to bear on Avant Gourde, a pumpkin biere de garde. (The annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival will take place Oct. 19-20).
