Below are pictures from SweetWater IPA Day back in 2011.
In all honesty, Beer Street Journal has come a long way with photography and video since 2011. At the time, I was trying to post pictures live from the event directly to the website. This was long before Instagram or even live streaming.
While I was shooting with at Canon Rebel t2i then, and was using an iPhone X to upload the pictures “live”. There’s no metadata on the photos, but they have to be iPhone – so they are all incredibly low resolution.
All that being said, besides the big lineup of casks and a few friend pics, you can see the early stages of SweetWater’s brewery expansion.
