Looking Close on Friday: "Words on Glass" theme.
Stella Artois is a pilsner beer that traces its heritage to 1366 with the founding of the Den Hoorn brewery in Leuven, Belgium. The beer takes its name from a beer launched by the brewery in 1926 that was called Stella—meaning “star” in Latin—and from the name of head brewmaster Sébastien Artois, who purchased the brewery in 1717.
Stella Artois is still brewed in Leuven, among other locations including the UK, and following various acquisitions and mergers, is today part of the Anheuser-Busch InBev brewery company (sigh). The beer lost its “import” status in the United States last year, when Anheuser-Busch began transitioning to U.S. brewing for the North American marketplace.
The glass you see here was photographed with my Helios 85mm f1.5 lens. I used a crumpled sheet of Mylar illuminated with red and white lights to create the background bokeh.

Taste and believe is the marketing theme the Benedictine monks at Mt. Angel in Oregon use to promote their beer. Yummy stuff.
The brewmaster, a Benedictine priest, and former industrial systems engineer, loves formulating happy juice.
IMG_4393r Also known as the Christian Heurich Mansion or Brewmaster's Castle, is a Gilded Age mansion in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington D.C
The house, built in 1892-94 by architect John Granville Meyers for German immigrant and brewer Christian Heurich. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The first two floors of the house are preserved, and include most of the original furnishings. In 1956, Heurich's widow deeded the house to the Historical Society of Washington, D.C.. In 2003 the Historical Society moved out of the house, putting the house on the open market. Amid rumours of plans to repurpose the house, it was bought and converted into a museum to preserve the original interiors. The museum is open for public tours
The brewery, which rested on the Potomac River is now the site of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The Christian Heurich Brewing Company was the second largest employer in Washington D.C. during this time, apart from the Federal Government.

After another craptastic day at work, it was nice to know there was a beer tasting at my local beer geek's shop.
Tonight there was a representative from Brooklyn Brewery sharing the love. Because of this, the "Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse" was on sale for 8 bucks! That alone was an excuse to go since I've been dying to try it.
Available for my tasting pleasure when I got there was:
Brooklyn Lager
Brooklyn Brown Ale
Brooklyn East India Pale Ale
Brooklyn Monster Ale
Brooklyn Summer Ale
Plus the big and almighty Brooklyn Local 1 & Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse.
The Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse is the result of the long friendship of Brooklyn brewmaster Garrett Oliver and Schneider brewmaster Hans-Peter Drexler. Garrett had always admired the delicate balance of flavors in Schneider Weisse, while Hans-Peter had long enjoyed the effusive hop character of Brooklyn East India Pale Ale and BLAST! Garrett’s concept for the collaboration was that each brewmaster would brew essentially the same pale, hoppy weissbock in the other’s brewery, but with different hopping to reflect the local hop flavor.
While I was there, I decided to also pick up a bottle of the German version of this collaboration, the Schneider-Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse.
Are you as excited as I am? I know you are!

Maybe the most distinctive beer I've ever had, and easily one of the most delicious, Full Sail Ale's Lupulin (named for humulus lupulus, the scientific name for the hop plant) uses the same technique as dry-hopping (that is, adding after the boil), but brewmaster John Harris uses fresh First Gold hops from Goschie Farms in Silverton, Oregon. This new English varietal is in its first year in Oregon; expect to hear more.
We were in an old, renovated local mill today where artists, crafters, bakers, shop owners, letterpress printers, jewelers, and brewmasters, among other people, have eclectic booths and enclosed, designated display areas for creating and featuring their artistic endeavors. This building is a fascinating *work in progress* which has been ongoing for 14 years when spaces were opened up for entrepreneurs. We wandered around, as the place was relatively quiet, and happened upon this set of stairs which we did not choose to descend! But what a great shot to post on *Saturday for Stairs*!
This back entrance to the storage room of the Düsseldorf brewery ''Füchschen'' opens on to a road in the Old Town of Düsseldorf. The beer is a top fermented beer similar to English real ale 'bitter'.
The brewery pub at the other end of the building is a MUST for every visitor to the town!

- Sol beer
Sol was founded in Mexico in 1899 when a German brewmaster took inspiration from a ray of sunlight shining through a hole in the breweries roof. Its rough beauty is filled with the charm of Mexican imperfection.
This super premium beer is enjoyed by successful and free-spirited urban guys.
We are Sol. We are Espiritu Libre !

The IPA was fashioned to survive the long voyage from England to India during the British colonization. Hops, hops and more hops! Red Racer IPA has an intense aroma and a long lingering finish. A beer for the connoisseur, this is the brewmaster's choice.
...are plentiful. This is the tasting room of the craft beer brewery in Burlington, Ontario. The brewmasters have something for every taste. I had to leave some for the next time...

We began our operation in 1994, within months of the passage of legislation allowing brewpub operation in the great state of Texas. We found a public eagerly awaiting the enjoyment of our cold, freshly brewed beers. Long before the craft beer craze we were cranking out delicious award winning brews. As the oldest operating brewpub in the state, you could call us the "granddaddy" of brewpubs in Texas. We are located on Main Street Fredericksburg, Texas. In our fair little town, sidewalk consumption is allowed; you can take our cold craft brews on a sidewalk stroll down Main, fill a growler to take home or sit down with us and enjoy a brew paired with lunch or dinner... whatever suits your fancy. Our Brewpub serves German fare, pizza, burgers, salads and everything in between. The Brewery sits in a restored 1890s era building. In addition to its main room, the brewery has a large, air-conditioned biergarten. The second floor of the building provides "Bed & Brew" guest rooms, 12 rooms (one on ground level), each decorated in a different theme. We hope you'll join us soon.
Our Brewers brew more than 20 different varieties throughout the year, rotating our staples (Peacepipe Pale Ale, Enchanted Rock Red Ale, Not So Dumb Blonde Ale, Pioneer Porter) as well as seasonal selections. You'll find at least 5 selections (usually more) on tap for your enjoyment any time you stop in. Our Brewmaster has claimed many awards and we have long maintained our reputation for quality, fresh beer in addition to being "the granddaddy" of brewpubs. In operation since 1994, we are currently the oldest operating brewpub in Texas!
Street consumption is legal on Main Street Fredericksburg, making The Brewery a must-see in Fredericksburg's downtown historic district. Sit at the bar and watch the brewers at work while you sip your brew, or take your beer to go and stroll the shops on Main.
We take great pride in offering a consistent product and that doesn't happen by chance. Our beer is brewed from quality malt, yeast and hops by experienced and passionate brewers. From the dining room in our brewpub you can see much of the brewing equipment and often times watch our brewers at work.

“This is the first year consumers will be able to try 24 different beers from Red Racer,” says Gary Lohin, brewmaster at Red Racer. “Everything about the Great Canadian Outdoor Adventure Pack is new, from the beers, to the packaging, and even to the format: they’re all 500mL cans!”
Nano breweries seem to be the next big thing in the craft beer industry. Their is no clear definition of what a nano brewery is exactly, but one thing is for sure - they are small. How small? Well this photograph was taken inside NW Peaks Brewery in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, where they brew 15 gallon batches at a time. To give you a comparison of just how small that is the average home brewer (myself included) generally makes 5 gallon batches. Their is a real grassroots feel to nano breweries, most are operated out of garages or storage facilities by one or two people. NW Peaks for instance is a one man operation, and I rather like the fact that each time I come in to pick up a growler or have a pint i am being served by the head brewmaster the entire time.
Unfortunately it appears that I may have bumped my tripod while taking this 12 second exposure.

When West Flanders Brewing Co.'s brewmaster, Brian Lutz, decided to call a beer Mr. Chain-Blue Lightnin', he knew it had to taste as epic as its name.
Considering the brew recently won first place in the India Pale Ale category and Best of Show at the Colorado State Fair, it's safe to say he succeeded.
Dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic hops, Mr. Chain-Blue Lightnin' is a bitter beauty.
The award-winning Imperial IPA's name derives from the 1976 western "The Outlaw Josey Wales," starring Clint Eastwood. In the film, Eastwood plays a brazen, revenge-fueled outlaw nicknamed Mr. Chain Blue Lightning. Lutz, inspired by the character, knew the moniker eventually would become the name of one of his beers.
The 8.25 percent alcohol by volume ale is brewed on-site and available exclusively at the West Flanders tap house, 1125 Pearl St., Boulder. Lutz said the beer is one of the brewery's best sellers.

Balemug the Brewmaster:
There are few dwarves who are as wildy renown as Balemug the Brewmaster. Known throughout the lands of Warscape, Balemug is invited into hearth and home by all good folk, nobles and peasants alike.
Achieving the title of brewmaster in dwarven society is among one of the highest honors; for a dwarf's most important parts of life are war and ale, and Balemug excels at both. A dwarf will study the art of brewing for an entire lifetime before gaining the title of brewmaster, but Balemug achieved the honor in his first hundred years mark. Known for the most popular dwarven ales like 'Snorebringer' and 'Dwarf Lightning', Balemug travels the holdfasts and mountain ranges teaching the art of brewmaking to all he deems worthy. He has even taught the race of men how to brew more potent ales other than their 'milk suds' as dwarves call it.
Balemug also enjoys the art of battle. Accompanied by his rare Mountain Ram mount, Balemug's alcohol induced war chants can be heard above even the loudest of dwarven blackpowder shots. His coppersteel inlaid blundergun and battle axe serve him well as he fells his vile enemies. Wearing armor crafted from ancient Mountoak ale barrels, arrows and swords alike harmlessly thunk off like him like water on rock.
Many a dwarf warrior has Balemug to thank for victories in battle and good ale to celebrate afterwards. Drink on, stout Brewmaster!

Warcraft 3 is one of my favorite video games, and trying to moc Blizzard's heroes is the origin that I come back to Lego.
Have tried many ways to moc them for 7 years, but the quantity is still small. Then I found out recently that BrickHeadz is the best way to moc them! So I just start a Blizzard Heroes BrickHeadz project and have already designed about 30 models, so stay tuned :)

To Celebrate Halifax's 250th anniversary, Canada Post created a special event commemorative cover depicting Alexander Keith Looming over the current Halifax skyline. He was a three term mayor of Halifax in the 1800's.
Jef Versele crafted this exclusive Gulden Draak Brewmasters Edition as a tribute to his grandfather Jozef Van Steenberge and the 230th birthday of the brewery. His inspiration came from his numerous trips to the United States and his deepest respect for the craft beer culture. This exclusive Gulden Draak combines the technology and the craftsmenship of the traditional brewing process. By letting the beer mature on whiskey barrels it gives it a distinctive and gental finish that you have never tasted before.
