Chucky, Killer Doll From Our Nightmares, Is Getting His Own Beer

Craft brew sipping lovers of all things spooky season will love the newest release from Elysian Brewing.

*Trigger warning* If the serial killer doll Chucky terrified you as a child, you may want to skip this article! If you’re a fan of horror, this is right up your alley.

I don't care how old you are nor how much of an adult you claime to be - there is absolutely nothing scarier than a little demon doll that kills for sport.

My brother terrorized me with the Chucky movies when I was a little kid and frankly, I haven’t forgiven him yet. (Who can blame me?!)

My mom even brought home a light up doll lamp, not knowing of my hidden fear of Chucky. It looked just like him. I screamed and threw it out the window.

Clearly my family hated me. I digress.

Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer

This year for Halloween and to celebrate the second season of the Chucky television series, NBCUniversal is collaborating with Elysian Brewing to bring us a seasonal fall beer billed as being as “devious” as the doll.

The brew, Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer, is a pumpkin beer with a wheat base, cranberry juice, and notes of cinnamon and chamomile, coming in at a 5.3%ABV.

The can will be hard to miss, with Chucky’s face dead center and the doll wielding a large knife. He still has that same evil look in his eye that I remember all too well.  Because of course he does, right? *shivers*

While I’m not a Chucky fan, I do love seasonal beers. Will I run out and try to track this one in particular down? Nope. I'm still too traumatized for that!

"Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer is super drinkable and light; we think that it'll be enjoyed by a wide variety of palates. From the blood-red cranberry to the cinnamon notes, this limited-edition wit encapsulates many of the fall flavors our drinkers love," said co-founder Joe Bisacca.

I admit that Chucky's namesake inagural brew sounds completely delicious, even if the packaging is more than a wee bit terrifying in my estimation.

Where to Find Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer

If you’re lucky enough to find Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer on tap, you’ll notice the tap handle is a comically large kitchen knife, the same as the knife Chucky uses to take the lives of all those poor people in the Child’s Play movies.
