| Elysian Space Dust IPA beer |
A few months ago, I notice some big trucks had shown up on the streets of Bellingham, with the moniker of Elysian Brewpub on the side. They were advertising a beer I had never heard above before, and I did a little digging and found out about this brewery, based in Seattle, that has been around since 2015. How did a new IPA come out and I missed it?
There are so many local breweries in my part of the country, especially around Seattle and the Pacific Northwest in particture. I guess I'm not the only one who likes her beer a little hoppy on the side, bitter but not puckery. I was once an afionado of dark beer, bur once I discovered IPAs, my tastes began to change.
The Elysian Brewing Company has apparently been around for longer than that: I found this information online:
Three-time Large Brewpub of the Year at the Great American Beer Festival, Elysian Brewing Company operates four neighborhood restaurants and a production brewery in Seattle, Washington. Known both for classic styles and for flexibility and innovation, Elysian has brewed over 350 different recipes since opening in 1996. While Elysian’s brewers use a variety of unusual ingredients, they are seasonally notorious for their pumpkin beers. Each year Elysian hosts the Great Pumpkin Beer Festival, where dozens of different pumpkin beers are poured, some of them from giant pumpkins.
Well, just for grins, I tried a little of the pumpkin variety and thought it was truly awful. I think, for now, I'll just stick to IPAs. Have you ever tried pumpkin beer?

Here in Seattle (and suburbs) we know about Elysian Brewing. I have been in at least one of their pubs. I don't drink much beer, but when I do I prefer less hoppy brews, like wheat beers and dark ones.
ReplyDeleteHello DJan! I like what Linda said. Now, to answer your question, no, I’ve never tried pumpkin beer. 😊 I’d have to say I’m happy with an occasional bubbly, usually one of the classic brews. Pabst Blue Ribbon sounds good or maybe Coors Light. And no, I did not misspell that … it’s says “Light” on the bottle itself. Maybe it’s a light in a way??? 😊👍
