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. The brewery also joined forces with Tongal, and Tongal creators Scott Marshall and Chris Reading, to power a Chucky AR experience.

I’ve drank and enjoyed countless different pumpkin beers over the years, and this is the first I’ve come across that mixes in healthy doses of cranberry juice. I had a chance to sample the beer last week, and it’s a delightful mix of pumpkin and cranberry that brings something new to the table in the pumpkin beer arena. 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. Just like the devious doll it’s inspired by, this pumpkin witbier with cranberry will be your friend ’til the very end.
