I am not much of a beer drinker or drinker at all. Nevertheless, time to time, I like to try something from Fort Collins’ New Belgium Brewery, especially, their seasonal specials. Have you heard about anybody who would have just a half bottle of beer?

This picture is a pinhole image shot with my Canon EOS D10 with a pinhole body cap instead of lens. I applied some dry brush effect in Photoshop.

I like the pinhole image much better than a regular lens shot. The beer was good too.
You can find more similar images in my Digital Pinhole Gallery. New pinhole pictures of tulips will be added soon.
Blue Paddle Pilsener, crafted without the use of adjuncts like corn or rice, explores the boundaries where American Lagers seldom journey. Reflective of Europe’s finest Pilsener’s, Blue Paddle delivers a refreshing bitterness, vibrant finish and a subtle but intricate depth of flavor.
With Blue Paddle, we wanted to produce a beer that was definitive of the upper echelon.

Blue Paddle has a bit more body than the traditional Belgian pils and is closer in style to a Bohemian Style. High impact crispness from noble hop varieties finishes with a rich panoply of malt flavor.
