Critique Welcomed Flights...

...at Noble Ale Works in Anaheim, California.

Microbreweries are popping up all over the USA and Noble Ale Works is one I recently discovered. Their IPA is very fine indeed! A common practice is for the brewery to sell tasting "flights" that allow a patron to sample a number of beers (usually 5 or 6 varieties at a time) in small quantities before selecting one to have in a larger tumbler. At Noble they use brandy snifters as flight glassware. This particular group of 20-somethings (the primary microbrew demographic it would appear) had ordered a number of flights at the same time and the array of snifters seemed very impressive to me. I asked if they would mind me taking a picture and they graciously complied.

Very good. They obviously didn't mind your being there, and they seem very relaxed, though the alcohol might have something to with that! Fine toning too.
 
Yes,...alcohol makes everyone happy. o_O
Sorry Brian I have to refute that statement...
I had quite a bit of alcohol last night and my wife was not happy at all!!!:(.
 
A very fine shot Brian and I really like that the central character is not quite in focus. For some reason that seems to make him seem more significant and that is enhanced by his rather dream-like (i.e. half pissed) gaze.
lol. Thanks Pete. Interesting observation about the guy in the middle and focus. Much appreciated, Pete.
