B is for BEER

Mike said it tasted like Budweiser and I definitely agreed it at least smelled like it

I’m not really a beer drinker. I just could never really get into it. At this point in my life, on the rare occassions I do drink, I prefer champagne even the cheap stuff is fine . So I confess that Mike bought this for me and drank it too. I had seen this brand before and tried to find their “Real” Ginger Ale a few years ago but gave up. Found this just at a local beer & wine store. This Japanese company makes the following flavors/types in the Hitachino series:

Hitachino Nest Beer

Amber Ale
Espresso Stout
Japanese Classic Ale (an India Pale Ale)
Lacto Sweet Stout
New Year Celebration Ale (a spiced ale)
Pale Ale
Real Ginger Ale (a ginger flavored ale)
Red Rice Ale
White Ale
Weizen
XH (a Belgian strong ale)

I’ve been continuing to learn a few new things with the Pen. How to set functions to buttons, save personalized settings, and testing out stacking filters and manual focus. It’ll be sunny all weekend so I’ll finally get to take it outdoors with me I think! For these I used pin-hole + pop art filters and manual focus. I still feel quite novice but I don’t have disillusions of being a pro so it’s all good
