Nortwest Beers

I love my Northwest Beers. I have a basket next to the refridgerator under my bar where I always discard  bottle caps. I thought it would be fun to dig out a selection of caps from the northwest and take a photo. I think there are 10 different brewery’s represented in this shot. I have come to the conclusion though that I don’t have a favorite brewery. Full Sail is probably the most fun to visit because I love Hood River, but outside of that, I just can’t choose just one. I can say that I visit Pyramid/Mac Tarnahans Brewery the most. This weekend I had the opportunity to have a beer with the old Brewmaster. He is currently the Brewmaster for PBR China. I asked him if he had one tip for basement brewers like Hank and myself.

 Don’t reuse your yeast!

I didn’t have the nerve to tell him that we still use a dry yeast.

About the photo: The caps were placed on a glass table and lit from below and above with speedlites. Color adjustments made in Lightroom.
