The Experience, Alameda: Alameda Island Brewing Co Halloween Treat

The Experience:

Pumpkin fun with a pint of fresh beer!

Join the folks at Alameda Island Brewing’s taproom for their 2nd annual Pumpkin Carving Party Wed, Oct 25, 6:30-9pm. Do bring your own pumpkin but leave your knives at home. They will provide carving knives and scoopers as well as stencils. Do you want to carve a pumpkin but don’t have a place to display it when you get home? You can leave your pumpkin with them and they’ll proudly display it in the taproom until after Halloween.

Beers to try while carving:

  • Scotch Ale Sea Haggis:⁠ According to local fan Jeff, the “Sea Haggis is a bomb you don’t want to miss.” They’ve got Sea Haggis canned and fresh in kegs ready for your enjoyment. See for yourself what the rage is all about!
  • Ube Area is a homage to both their favorite purple yam and the Bay Area which they call home, crafted for Filipino American History Month. And it pours purple!
  • Classic Island Haze and SARAP!

A special Treat for you this Halloween – In a world of rising prices and inflation, what can you buy for $1?  You can still snag some magic for just $1. Tap handle stickers for your favorite beers await you.

Bring your friends, your pumpkins, grab a bite to eat at local nearby eateries and get down to the taproom on Oct 25. They can’t wait to see you! They’ve been crafting island-inspired brews in Alameda since 2015.

Hours: Tues – Sat 12-10pm; Sun 12-7pm.

Where:

1716 Park Street
Alameda
