Bokeh for Beer.

[keith with the teef]

So I read the other day that if you use some zoom on your subject then you can get crazy good Bokeh and as you can see it works. Or have I been drinking sedimentary ale.

Well as one translation for bokeh is ‘cloudy’ and the other side of the glass is in perfect focus, I think I would take that glass back to the publican and complain! Ignoring the nasty looking beer, it is a very nice picture.

The Beer was terrific. Castle rock from Notts, brew was Elise Mo.

Cannot take the glass back to the publican it was a souvenir from Trafalgar square after visiting the art museum.

But yeah, good pikkie.

The stuff I’ve been drinking lately is NEIPA and it’s supposed to look like this:

This was a few years ago in de Wildeman in Amsterdam (my favourite pub in the world). It’s a Bierproeflokaal, literally beer tasting room, and I saw people drinking something clearly dredged up from the Damrak.

So, the whole point of the place being to try something new, I asked some questions (the bar staff are very knowledgeable and love to talk about beer) and found it’s a New England IPA. NEIPA is heavily dry hopped to give a hazy appearance but Garage (Barcelona) took it to the extreme with Soup.

It hasn’t got bits in it like a gone off beer has, it’s like any other heavily hopped craft ale in most respects apart from the opaqueness. If there is a NEIPA on offer I will always give it a go. Most look more like Thatcher’s Haze than Soup and if you like the hoppy citra style are usually very good. Most British craft brewers have one these days.
