Elysian Brewing Teams Up With 'CHUCKY' For New Killer Pumpkin Beer This Halloween!
Who would have thought a psycopath doll would be a beer fan? Well the folks at Elysian Brewing are banking on it as they have teamed up With Chucky for a new pumpkin beer for Halloween!
Elysian’s first-of-its-kind Chucky-themed pumpkin beer has been dubbed Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer, and it’s available now at select bars and retailers throughout the country!
Just like the devious doll it’s inspired by, this pumpkin witbier with cranberry will be your friend ’til the very end. Saturated with blood-red cranberry juice and entangled with pumpkin mangled into a puree, the beer is light in color with spine-chilling flavors of chamomile and cinnamon – the perfect combination of everything you love about the season.
Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer is a limited release and collaborative beer between Elysian, USA Network and SYFY, 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.
The brewery also joined forces with Tongal, and Tongal creators Scott Marshall and Chris Reading, to power a Chucky AR experience. The augmented reality extends the Elysian x Chucky partnership beyond the beer, bringing the killer doll and a killer AR experience in-store alongside Elysian’s Pumpkin Pack Displays in grocery stores in WA and CA, now through Halloween.
“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 is one of Halloween’s most iconic, beloved characters and we have found the perfect partner in Elysian Brewing to capture his spirit this season,” said Ellen Stone, Executive Vice President, Entertainment Consumer Engagement and Brand Strategy, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “This custom pumpkin beer provides a fresh, unique way for fans and beer fanatics alike to quench their thirst with a taste of Chucky ahead of the season two premiere.”
