Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale

[egon]

My brother is a Pumpkin Ale fan. After the good reviews posted on CHOW, I'd like to pick him up some. Where can I buy some close to Downtown Boston or JP? Thanks.

Only available in the area on tap at Redbones during Northwest Fest AFAIK. New Belgium started brewing it last year so maybe available a little more widely this year? - but New Belgium doesn't distribute in MA, nor does Elysian.

Not the Night Owl, but a couple of Elysian pumpkin beers will be available at CBC's Pumpkin Fest on Sat. :

Mr. Yuck (Sour ale aged ten months with second-generation sour Belgian yeast blend, with pumpkin in the mash and kettle.) 5.1%

Jack o’ Bite (Barrel aged Scottish ale with pumpkin in the mash, kettle and fermenter; aged in Jack Daniel’s and wine barrels for 6 weeks, inoculated with yeast from Rodenbach) 6.4%

Hansel & Gretel (Ginger Pumpkin Pilsner spiced with peeled and pureed fresh ginger in the boil and bright tank and hopped with lots of Czech Saaz hops) 4.5%

Hmm now those three actually sound interesting rather than the same old tired pumpkin ale formula. Too bad you cant get them on the east coast...

I bought mine over the internet at Malt and Vine: www.maltandvine.com

As a side note; there is a review of that beer in Issue #1 at:

Call downtown wine and spirits in Somerville (225 Elm St) and see if they have it. They stock a wide selection. [phone]
