Orange does the Anchor Brewery Tour
Most beer lovers recognize Anchor Steam as the quintessential and/or original S.F. beer brand. But not everyone knows they can book a a tour (up to two months advance notice often required) to see the brewery and learn how their world-class beer is made. Anchor has also been one of my favorite clients over the past few [...]
The new Speakeasy Tap Room!
You may have heard that Speakeasy has a new taproom designed by Kelly Malone and we finally checked it out during a fundraiser for her. The place is gorgeous and we set up a photobooth for the benefit too and because of the design it was a cinch to make it look amazing since the [...]
San Francisco Beer Week is almost over :(
In case you hadn’t noticed that the city might be a bit more tipsy than usual, that’s because it’s San Francisco Beer Week!

The brewery is where Steam Whistle is brewed and they only make that one beer, which [...]
My First Favorite… beer
Several weeks ago, Steal Like an Artist was trending online and it’s a great perspective (read it if you haven’t yet). One of the things I like to ‘steal’ are ideas from experiences. In the strictest sense this isn’t really stealing, but more like inspiration. However, when you travel a lot for shoots, you have opportunities to [...]
Anchor Brewery press coverage
So the big news has been out for a bit now, but we were on hand to take the press shots of Fritz Maytag, Keith Greggor and Tony Foglio that went along with the announcement. It was an honor to meet Mr. Maytag who’s really humble and soft spoken. As someone who thoroughly enjoys beer [...]
