Sheer genius: True Pumpkin beer (fwd)

They not only mashed in a pumpkin, but fermented in one as well. There is no informaiton as to how the finished product tasted. I'm very curious.

Some brewers have even fermented their beers inside of pumpkins... The guy in the pictures linked above took it one step further: He used a pumpkin as a mash tun (where the grains are soaked to draw out fermentable sugars). Cool! Mark
