Mooncakes & Special Beer Releases Highlight Lucky Envelope Brewing's Mid-Autumn Celebration
Washingtoner/10268103

SEATTLE - Washingtoner -- Lucky Envelope Brewing will celebrate the traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival with mooncakes and special beer releases on Saturday, September 14^th from Noon-10pm at their tasting room in Ballard.

Mid- Autumn festival is one of the most celebrated holidays in Chinese culture. Traditionally, the festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. The celebration derives from a 3,000-year-old custom of worshipping the moon to thank it for the harvest. Traditions include gathering with family, enjoying a dinner together, and appreciating the brightness of the moon with mooncakes and lanterns. "When I lived in Los Angeles the family would meet at my grandmother's house for dinner and fresh baked mooncakes to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. This holiday was particularly important because it was one of two days a year (the other being LNY) she wanted all of us together.", co-founder and Director of Operations, Raymond Kwan, reminisced.

Lucky Envelope is excited to share two Mid-Autumn beer releases this year, one of which is a collaboration with the U-District's Ladd & Lass Brewing. The two breweries joined forces to create the Taro Up My Heart lager. "The idea for a taro lager came up organically over a few beers while I crashed an afternoon at the L&L taproom. We discussed foods central to Asian and Pacific Island cultures and while adjuncts like rice are commonly used in beer, we haven't seen taro used in a similar way.", says co-founder and Head Brewer, Barry Chan. Along with the Taro Up My Heart Lager, the brewery will release a Hazy IPA infused with acai-blueberry black tea. Both of these celebration beers will be available on draft and in cans.
