An eastern Pennsylvania business is brewing up a homegrown and homemade beer.  The Shawnee Resort's Shawnee Craft Brewery is showing off its new pumpkin ale.  It is manufactured with pumpkins and pumpkin pie spice.  The pumpkins are grown, processed, and served at Shawnee. 

The brewmaster, Leo Bongiorno, chopped up about 145 pounds of pumpkin and cooked it into a pale beer.  Hey says, “It's more of a celebration of the harvest than a production type beer."  The ale will be sold at the Gem and Keystone Restaurant. 

Beka Paulino was one of the first people to try it and thinks “it’s great!”

The Gem and Keystone serves Shawene craft beer in a glass but you could also take it home in a growler.  The growler holds four pints and Shawnee expects to sell them fast.
