Elysian Brewing Makes a Killer Beer With Chucky
I don’t normally do horror movies and I damn sure don’t mess with Chucky, but when Elysian Brewing announced it was teaming with the demonic doll for its pumpkin beer this year, I couldn’t resist.
Rumor has it the Seattle-based brewery was a grizzly scene of gutted gourds, slashed grain bags and crushed cranberries. The result was a pumpkin witbier with cranberry that’s light in color with flavors of chamomile and cinnamon.
“Just like Chucky is synonymous with Halloween, Elysian’s pumpkin beers have become synonymous with the season. Seeing Chucky’s iconic, freckled face on our cans feels like a match made in… ah… hell,” said Joe Bisacca, Elysian Brewing’s Co-Founder. “This release is exactly what makes brewing pumpkin beers interesting. You can iterate with so many styles using the same common gourd ingredient, like we do with the beers in Elysian’s Pumpkin Variety Pack. Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer is super drinkable and light, we think that it’ll be enjoyed by a wide variety of palates. From the blood-red cranberry to the cinnamon notes, this limited-edition wit encapsulates many of the fall flavors our drinkers love.”
Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer (5.3% ABV) is a limited release and collaborative beer brewed in celebration of all things Halloween, horror and Season 2 of “Chucky,” a continuation of the iconic film franchise chronicling the murderous escapades of the notorious killer doll. In the TV series, Chucky crosses paths with archenemies, old allies and new prey, as he seeks to inspire fear and mayhem wherever he goes.
Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer is available now at select bars and retailers throughout the country.
