I hope everyone is having a safe (and beery) Halloween! For my part, after going trick-or-treating with the kids, I opened up a bottle of Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale as my "treat." It’s good stuff, but funny thing, though—I notice on the label it says, "Brewed for Elysian Brewing… by New Belgium Brewing…" Huh. It must be related to this.

Anyway, go check out Jay’s site; this week he’s been blogging a different theme of beer-related costumes each day. (A much more in-depth look at what I was talking about here.) His countdown of themes:

• Part 1: Superheroes
• Part 2: Kegs
• Part 3: Miscellaneous
• Part 4: German Folk Costumes
• Part 5: Glassware
• Part 6: Beer Cans
• Part 7: Beer Bottles

Good stuff—but I still like my idea of a Trappist Monk with beer.

Happy Halloween!
