Las Vegas’ First-Ever “Great Pumpkin Roadshow” to Benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children Open
Tuscany Suites & Casino and Elysian Brewing Company kick off the Halloween season with Las Vegas’ first-ever Great Pumpkin Roadshow on Friday, Oct. 13 from 6 – 9 p.m. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
The traveling beer festival will feature more than 30 seasonal and local pumpkin beers including eight limited release Elysian brews. Celebrating all things pumpkin, Elysian will prepare a special beer-filled pumpkin firkin to be tapped during the event.
The evening will offer more than just food and pumpkin beer. Franky Perez, front man of Apocalyptica, will entertain guests with his blend of rock and roll and blues, and Shriners Hospitals for Children Open will be giving away prizes to guests who putt a hole-in-one.
“We are thrilled to host the first-ever Elysian Great Pumpkin Roadshow in Las Vegas to celebrate fall, get into the Halloween spirit and showcase some of the best beer in the world. The quality and quantity of Elysian’s pumpkin brews reflects the ever-changing PUB 365 beer list, making it a perfect fit for our brand,” said Alex Bowden, executive director of operations at Tuscany Suites & Casino.
Local breweries Joseph James Brewing Company, Lovelady Brewing Company, Triple 7 Restaurant and Brewery, Big Dog’s Brewing Company, Tenaya Creek Brewery and CraftHaus Brewery will feature additional specialty pumpkin brews.
The eight limited-release Elysian brews making their Las Vegas debut are Blight Pumpkin Ale, Cursed Hearse Pumpkin Saison, Dark Knife Pumpkin Schwarbier, Dark O’ The Moon Pumpkin Stout, The Gourdfather Pumpkin Barleywine, The Great Pumpkin Imperial Pumpkin Ale, Night Owl Pumpkin Ale and Punkuccino Coffee Pumpkin Ale.
Tickets are available online at Eventbrite or at PUB 365 for an early bird price of $30; prices increase to $35 on Oct. 1. Tickets include a souvenir tasting glass and 20 tokens, which can be exchanged for beer or food items. Twenty percent of ticket sales will be donated to Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in support of the mission of Shriners Hospitals for Children to provide the highest quality care to children with special healthcare needs.
