Photographing Clear Beer

[McCoy]

Every time I pour a beer, clear or not, the condensation that clings to the side of the glass makes it appear hazy. This makes taking a photograph of a beer to show it's clarity rather tricky. I try wiping off the condensation and taking a photo quickly after, but this does not work very well because some condensation remains on the glass making it look like the beer has streaks of hazy running through it.

How do other brewers avoid having beers appear cloudy due to condensation on the glass?

Let the beer warm up until there is no condensation....

^That's probably the right answer.

I've had decent results shooting a fresh pour in the depths of winter when everything here is bone dry, but otherwise the condensation thing is pretty much unavoidable...

Cheers!
