RE: [Leica] OT beer

["Mueller, Rob" <rob.mueller@eds.com>]

I'm from the states and have lived less than 20 miles from windsor,Ont. my
whole life. I've never been able to stomach US beer (with the exception of
S. Adams), and I think almost any canadian beer is better. what tops
Canadian beer is almost any local Bitters in England (based on several trips
in the past 10 years)

My comment goes for the newest fad in the states and that is the micro
brewery. It seems to be diffent colored beers mostly with the same flat
taste (Although I haven't tried them all - now there's a quest).

Subject: [Leica] OT beer


A few months ago I had to do a job at a pub brewery for our business
section.  I used my Leica M42.  Thank goodness that job was tagged at the
end of my day.  I had a couple of cold ones.  I tried this guys dark ale and
it was super!  I told him I love dark heavy beers and stouts.  He did not
dissapoint.

Then I also had another shoot many years before that at the Point Brewery at
Stevens Point, Wisc.  We did a story on Bock beer and I was the lucky chap
who got the job.  Well, I got there at 10 am and the brewmeister acted as if
he was doing some serious testing.  Again, my M42 was used as I needed
something that would focus in the dark areas where they have their beer in
huge barrells.  I had to light the heck out of the room.  I used something
like four vivitar 283 on light stands to make the images.   Their bock beer
is pretty good, among the best I have tested.  Oh and yes I did test after
the conclusion of photo session..

Yes here in America we do have good beer, you just have to hunt a little bit
harder to find it!  Man the next time I do a brew pub photo, I should have
my 14mm in hand and then I should be able to tackle those tight places!
