Pumpkin as boiler

A chap has brewed beer *in* a pumpkin, because it’s Halloween. Hmm. I can’t think of any reason why this wouldn’t work!

Our latest book is Balmy Nectar, a collection of the best of our writing from here on the blog and across various magazines since 2012. It's available via Amazon worldwide. Our book 20th Century Pub was released in 2017 and is an award-winning rattle through the development of the English pub from beerhouses to micropubs. A new edition of Brew Britannia: the strange rebirth of British beer came out in July 2017, with corrections and a new format. We reckon both books are pretty bloody good, but don't take our word for it. Buy Brew Britannia at Amazon UK | Amazon US | Stanfords | or at your local bookshop. Order 20th Century Pub at Amazon UK | Blackwells.
