* Some intrepid brewers make their pumpkin beer … imagine this! … INSIDE A PUMPKIN. Check out this slideshow: <a title=”Brewing in a Pumpkin” href=”http://www.flickr.com/photos/cog_nate/sets/72157602400060222/” target=”_blank”>Brewing in a Pumpkin</a>.</p>
<p>* Read about that “experiment” in more detail in <a title=”Pumpkin to Tunkin: Last Call” href=”http://byo.com/departments/1806.html” target=”_blank”>Pumpkin to Tunkin: Last Call</a>

<p>* One of those intrepid brewers is a contributing writer for <em>Mother Earth News</em>. Read his latest article: <a title=”Brew Your Own Beer” href=”https://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/fermenting/how-to-brew-your-own-beer-zmaz08onzgoe” target=”_self”>Brew Your Own Beer</a>
