"beer made in a pumpkin" news and stories

We need more amateur scientists in the world using their powers for good, like the duo who decided to brew beer in a pumpkin, as illustrated in these pictures over at Flickr.

When I first heard about this, I thought it was a beer that tasted like pumpkin (like the various blueberry beers and other flavors that have been popping up the last few years). But no, it's a big pumpkin carved out (using a drill) and rigged to actually brew the beer.
