Risking the Dead Guy Ale.

     Though it was pretty expensive, the name screamed at me. The beer, or ale I'm not sure of the difference, was good. Something my local beer-bartender called "A good experience." I'm not really sure how to define a good beer experience, I just liked the taste. It was a little nutty and sweet with a slight bitter after taste. I may not get it again until I win the lottery, but if you have some extra money and wanna try something different...go for it!

As for the photograph, I'm experimenting with lighting a little. I need to work on reflections, but I think the rest of the image is pretty good.

Since taking this photo I learned an interesting trick. You probably saw it, if you scrolled from the top. I have learned how to dull out the reflections. And will retake the image. Minus the full glass of beer here! It may take a New York minute to get the image up, though

Pink Elephants?

Maybe I should have known by those elephants that this was strong beer. For sure the taste was not so spectacular. Again, I am finding out that just because one spends a lot for the bottle, it does not mean the beer has a profound, or memorable flavor. But what with the high alcohol count after a couple of sips...who cares, right?!

O and did you notice the initials? "DTs" Are they trying to steer our thinking in a certain direction? Let me know what you think.

More Beer bottle tops

If you, as my loyal readers, only knew the sacrifice I make to bring these outstanding images to you. I have to go to the store and buy these beers and then I have to drink them, TOO!

After that I have to break out the camera and flashes and stands, and defusers and filters. Then I have to set up the scene and experiment with exposure and all that technical stuff. And by that time I'm thirsty and need another beer! O the sacrifices I make your reading pleasure! But it is worth it to me because of the comments you leave. O wait, No Comments.

Well, here is another...

Whatduya' think?

More in my series of Beer Bottle Tops

For some reason lately, I have been fascinated with beers that have cork tops. This Allegash Ale is pretty nice, but I am learning that just because one spends way too much for a bottle of beer it does not mean that the beer is exceptional. There was nothing that really stood out about the drinking of it. However, the Alcocol Content was high and the brain-wash it gave was pretty pretty profound.
