That sounds like a lot of pumpkin although I don't know how big the batches are. I've seen quite a range of fermenting tanks in my day. The Sam Adams Brewery in Boston has tanks about 68 barrels in size and the Coors brewery in Golden, CO has fermenting tanks over 1400 barrels in size.

Also, it looks like Elysian is in WA so I'm not sure I'd ever see that beer out here on the other coast.

From what I understand it works out to about 7lbs per barrel. One of the local shops has it here, its quite good.

That's a good amount of pumpkin. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled to see if it made it out to this coast.
