Take Better Beer Photos With Your Phone
Ever take a picture of a great-looking beer only to check your phone and think… that looked a lot better in person? This week on Beer In Front, I’m talking with professional photographer Casey Fatchett, host of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, about how to take better photos of your beer and food without hauling around a bag full of professional camera equipment.Casey has been shooting professionally for more than 25 years, and he shares some easy things anyone can do with a smartphone to dramatically improve their photos.We talk about:
Brewery of the Week: Bruz Beers
We're also heading out to Denver for this week's Brewery of the Week: Bruz Beers. Bruz is celebrating its 10th anniversary and has carved out a unique place in Denver's beer scene by focusing on Belgian-style and Belgian-inspired beers.I take a look at the story behind Bruz, founders Ryan Evans and Charlie Gottenkieny, their approach to Belgian brewing, their Denver taprooms, Belgian beer education and events, and why a brewery willing to specialize can be such a cool thing.Plus, there's apparently some big Bruz news coming. I can't spill the beans yet, but I'll pass it along when I can.
And on Last Call, we'll talk about some news surrounding Stone Brewing.
So grab a beer, clean off that camera lens, find some decent lighting, and enjoy the show.Beer In Front — sometimes the beer you want is the beer that's right in front of you.
