Beer brewed in a pumpkin

Flickr user Cog_nate got into the Hallowe'en spirit by using a pumpkin as a brewing vessel, documenting the process in a Flickr set. Link (Thanks, Tamara!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Now if only he was brewing liqueur he would truly have the “Halloween spirit”.

Sounds kind of disgusting. I’ve always thought that the insides of pumpkins were disgusting.

Actually, there is a whole festival devoted to this,

I am going this weekend to check it out. I found out about it through this magazine.

When scanning by that picture my first thought was how unwise it was be to have in IED-themed pumpkin decoration for Halloween.
