Halloween Festivities, Horror Trivia & Seasonal Brews!
Autumn in Seattle calls for cozy taproom hangs, dark stouts, rich pumpkin ales, and a whole lot of Halloween mischief. Whether you’re looking to test your terrifying trivia knowledge or show off your best costume, we’ve put together a monstrously fun lineup to cap off the month.
Here is your complete guide to celebrating Halloween at Reuben’s Brews!
🍂 What’s Pouring: Fall Seasonal Hits
Before you jump into the party planning, you need the right liquid refreshment in your glass. Our fall lineup in distribution and at both our Ballard and Downtown Seattle taprooms is packed with bold, comforting flavors designed for crisp PNW days:
- Autumn Harvest Imperial Pumpkin Ale (8.7% ABV): Deep amber in color with suggestions of pumpkin pie, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Five malts offer a caramel sweetness balanced by warm baking spices and a rich, velvety mouthfeel.
- Loot Goblin Chocolate Pastry Stout (6.66% ABV): A candy lover’s dream! Loaded with notes of creamy caramel, sweet nougat, and rich chocolate. This limited release sold out in the taprooms, but we held back a secret keg to pour at our Halloween bash!
