More photos from the email. First we have a very attractive picture from North Coast Brewing of Fort Bragg California, a selection of beer testings which must have sat quite happily before Jonathon of the Beerinator - a great beer news information aggregator. You can find some of my North Coast Brewing comments under this link.

Next, below, we have two from Bob of stuffed animals and real ale. I am very jealous of him and his access to Freeminer's Waterloo and Trafalgar. You will recall Freeminer is the maker of the greatest stout that ever walked the planet, Deep Shaft Stout. For some reason I think Jonathon is in Michigan but I don't know why I think that. Sculler's IPA, illustrated in the classic "beer, hairy thing and snow" motif, is actually from Washington State made as it is by the Skagit River Brewery.

Last, under these comments we have six photos from England, whence Phil the taker thereof lives. Phil has got a very interesting beer related project on the planning table that I will not speak of now but when it comes about...well, just you wait. Phil has returned to the theme of hops we saw something of already but as they are so darn attractive - why not, says I. He also tackles the far more troublesome topic of yeast. Very interesting stuff.

Wow! Fabulous stuff and the fodder for a really good contest. Here are all the posts for the Photo Contest 2006. Send more in - we have a few days left until the 21st.
