The Beauty of Beer


I'm sitting on my porch doing "homework" (drinking new beer), when John, my housemate, says, "I can see the whole neighborhood in your beer."

So I looked, and sure enough he was right. I grabbed my camera and shot this picture. The beer was Maharaja, in case anyone was wondering. I realize that you're not "supposed" to drink Imperial IPA from a belgian tulip, but I love sipping beers like these from a glass that forces my nose right into the fray. Plus, you've got to admit that just about any beer looks really, really appetizing in one of these glasses.

Thanks! It was one of those shots I never would have thought to "set-up", but now I may have to play with this theme a little bit. Taking pictures of brewpubs and their environs reflected through beer could make for an interesting series of photos...

Those Duvel glasses are perfect for all kinds of beers, for just the reason you cite. There's nothing quite like a tulip goblet to bring out the aromatics.

No apologies necessary. If anyone gives you grief about it -- slap 'em!

This gives "beer goggles" a whole new meaning. I wonder how my obese, abusive, 7 ft tall girlfriend would look through a nice red ale? Chris, you're post turned my world upside down. Har, har.
