I don't care if you used special lighting, filters, CGI... that is a beautiful and well named beer (and photo).

No filter needed on this one. I do have some lighting straight overhead...so that definitely highlights the color. This was a damn fine beer. Both were. I have 6 more MA born beers to partake of...all part of a trade from a random dude on my NW LA craft beer group. Win!

Nice on the trade! 

I used to have this little hanging lights over our marble bar in ATL that made my beer photos looks great.

Speaking of beer trades, I feel pretty safe in it again. Lots of good beers here right now.

 

@ShocksMyBrain I still got yours when you are comfortable.

I'd be open to trading again, too. I just don't know what I have access to that would be worth sending. Certainly would be glad to explore that with you and see if we can work out something that is good for both sides. I do have access to Wild Leap, which people have been geeking over. And there might be more available in SC than I realize. I just don't ever shop because there aren't any legit bottle shoppes in my area. There's some weird concept package store, a vape shop, and a Kroger that has amazing stuff for 5 seconds and then nothing interesting for months. Plus it's packed with tourists these days.

No pressure from my end at all. I am always down for trading just about anything. You probably have a pretty good sides of what styles I like...😬😳

 

I still have some of that Brass Techticles at 18% that I’m willing to send out. My dude in MA was scared of it.

I’m good to go, I’ll start hoarding stuff. At this point it’s just whatever. I’m washing my hands regularly and wearing a mask at work/in public, maintaining social distancing, limiting my time in public except for going out to eat once and went to a brewery—both places had tables at least 6 feet apart, servers/tenders with masks and gloves. 
 

Speaking of social distancing, I was at the gas station yesterday and maintaining ~6 feet between myself and the person in line in front of me. Some guy walks in and almost cuts in front of me, “oh, are you in line?”

”Yeah”

”Why are you standing so far back?”

”Because I don’t want to be near anyone” and turned back around.
 

How can people still be this clueless? Oh yeah, because the general public is full of idiots.

Beverage World in Rossville, GA got some Toppling Goliath(Sue and King Sue) and Surly in today. Those aren’t readily available in Atlanta are they?

Well, lookie hyea lookie hyea. Available in GA now. Was surprised, though, to see a "best by 5/19" stamp. Maybe supply chain/logistics due to, well, s***, take your pick? Wasn't a tall stack and I'm 99% sure they didn't have it 2 weeks ago, much less long enough in advance of 5/19 for folks to drink it by then. Still tastes amazing though.

But we don’t have a “drool” reaction. @RunInRed, let’s get on that! We put what’s his face in a dunce cap, surely we can get a homer drool reaction.
