I don't mind. It would probably take me longer to send it from the camera than to just take the card out and put it in my computer.

6. Crack open brew
7. Pour
8. Feverishly take several pics with variations in lighting, angle and exposure setting before the head goes away
9. Breathe
10. Quaff my freshly poured brew
11. Remove SD card from camera
12. Walk (with brew in hand) back to my computer
13. Insert SD card in camera
14. Open RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw
15. Adjust until I am satisfied
16. Crop appropriately
17. Save
18. Upload
19. Continue drinking

Ahhh, the dedication of a true beer geek......

My wife constantly calls me a nerd for taking beer photos. She picks on me, tries to get my friends to pick on me, much like Qhrumpf's wife does little voices to make the teasing funny to the kids..... then I come here online and am comforted by the fact that not only do you guys appreciate the geekiness, but many of you are two-three times the nerd I am about beer.

To buy Russian River we have to drive at least 3.

C'mon man narrow it down a little for us. I'm about 45 minutes from Fort Bragg. I'm also an hour from RR, and to buy Pliny I have to drive... An hour. Vinnie doesn't do any distribution north of the brewery god bless his heart.

San Luis Obispo, smack dab in between both Firestone locations, and there beer is at least two months old by time it hits the shelves here.

That's sounds good. It's a toss up for me between Old Chub and Robert the Bruce by 3F. It's cold here in Chicago today and a nice Scotch Ale sounds perfect.

Give an amazing photographer a decent camera and he can take incredible pictures. Its so true. Dont be fooled by hype of cameras. The D3100 can take just as good pictures as any other camera as long as light and framing is right.

Finally decided to try one of the new Leinenkugel's. This one's the Snowdrift Vanilla Porter. It looks just a hair darker than my Cooper's English bitter,with roasty overtones that aren't harsh. The vanilla's on the back,reminicent of the flavor from oaking. not bad at all.
