Okay... pretty famous place...

I am going to say a brewery in Vermont. Switching to google for a final search.

On second inspection probably Germany, too big a facility for Vermont.

Too many breweries in Germany to choose from.

Weyermann malting?

Weyermann malting?

Makes sense with the silos.

Bestmalz in case its not Weyermann.

 

[MagicMatt]

Briess in case it's not Bestmalz or Weyermann lol.

 

[JonM]

Well, I know it's not Froedtert/EuroMalt.

Nobody's got the right country yet... but a brewery it is...

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Duvel?

This place is steeped in the history of beer... the facility pictured is now owned by a huge macro, but was once owned by one of the biggest exporters of a particular type of brew.

Not that it helps anyone, but it's also just down the road from where I was born and raised.

Molson Coors Brewery, Burton On Trent


Once the comment about not hitting the correct country yet, I figured it looked like English countryside so I googled "UK brewery" and looked at many many images before seeing one that looked similar.

Molson Coors Brewery, Burton On Trent

From the long standing tradition of brewing watery pilsners in England.

You got it... Burton-on-Trent... once owned by Bass Breweries... and the spiritual home of IPA. I had to crop the image and stretch it slightly for Google Images to not recognize it!

Yeah, kind of sad... When Coors took over, pretty much every trace of the Bass Red Triangle disappeared.

OK here's the next one. Took a while to find an image that Google wouldn't recognize.

Camden Yards, Baltimore, MD

 

[MagicMatt]

No sir.

 

[MagicMatt]

Ahhh I just noticed a HUGE hint in the pic I posted. I missed it until just now, so it's very subtle, but once you see it it's a forehead-slapping type of moment.

 

[BrewerBrad82]

HA! St. Louis

 

[MagicMatt]

Indeed. The damn arch on the outfield. Didn't even realize it until it was too late lol.

Finding a pic of the city without the arch (and not taken from the arch, both of which google instantly recognizes) wasn't too easy.

You're up Brad

Sorry for the quality, but its a photo of an old postcard. Here we go:

Darn. Beat me to it. I've stayed at the Ballpark Hilton in St. Louis many, many times.

Brad, the image isn't showing for me.


Edit: nm, I see it's a shortened/masked URL. My work blocks those. Carry on.

Did I break this thread?

Can everyone see the pic?

Google found both of these instantly for me. This game is less than interesting when it's that easy. That's not a knock on you guys, but generally speaking it's way way better to get pics from your own collection when possible.

You say you found the one I posted of the ballpark? I have plenty of pics of St. Louis but all have the Arch in them (too easy) and the ones I took from inside the top of the Arch were all correctly identified as St. Louis by Google even though they were my pics.

This is what happens when I Google Image search that image of the ballpark I posted, nothing related to St. Louis found:

If using google image search found both instantly for you, why are you using that anyways?

The first post said this is an honor system, if people cheat that's their choice to not make it fun.
