Fermented Photo: Puckerfest

Puckerfest 2010

Puckerfest. Another Puckerfest is but a memory—but what a memory it is!  This photo is from Cascade Brewing’s night at Belmont Station’s annual Puckerfest.  They brought Manhattan Transfer (Blend of Quad in Heaven Hills barrels, Tripel, and Sour Pie Cherry Kriek), Noyeaux (blend of Belgian spiced Blonds aged in white port barrels with raspberries and toasted apricot pits), and Sang Noir.  Wow, I’m really glad we went back for this night!  Ron and Curt of Cascade Brewing are creating, blending, and aging amazing beers.  Bonus: Just yesterday, Cascade posted this: “Vlad the Imp Aler and Bourbonic Plague are in the bottle and will be released in August as soon as the beer is conditioned and the labels are approved.”

We also snuck in a 2008 Dissident from Deschutes Brewing.  It’s nice visiting an old friend.

Fermented Photo Flashback: Ben Flerchinger, Lucky Labrador Brewing Co.

The Lucky Labrador Brewing Company [SW Quimby]

Ben Flerchinger, Lucky Labrador Brewing Co. This is another early photo, this time at the Lucky Labrador on Quimby.  I remember thinking that shooting directly into the morning light with all of the grain dust coating my gear would be a disaster.  It turned out to be one of my favorite photos.

Fermented Photo Flashback: Dustin Kellner, Laurelwood Brewing Company

Laurelwood Brewing Company, NE 40th Avenue

Dustin Kellner, Laurelwood Brewing Company. This is one of the first photos I took at a brewery.  Just over three years ago, I talked to the Paul Bergeman at Laurelwood Brewery  on NE 40th Avenue to see if he’d mind if I came in to shoot the brewery on a brew day.   No one else knew I was coming, so imagine showing up to work at 7:00am to find a strange guy following you around with a camera while you work.  For hours.  That’s the situation Dustin found himself in that morning.  Sorry buddy!

I quickly learned to be splashed, singed, deafened, and grain-dusted on these shoots.  But it’s all worth it since I usually get to sample off of the tanks by 9am!

Organic Rise Up Red, Hopworks

Christian Ettinger, Mad Skills, Hopworks. Multitasking: Hopworks’ Owner Christian Ettinger manages to give a tour, pour beer off of the tanks, and drink a pint at the same time. That’s how you stay on top of your game. This was taken at the Organic Rise Up Red Release Party.
