In the heart of Africa, four diverse countries meet. Man-made borders are no barrier for the African wildlife, and animals freely roam these countries. The spot where Livingstone, Zambia; Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe; Kasane, Botswana meet – is rich in wildlife living in harmony with humans. They are a model of African conservation. Kalahari elephants, hippos, lions, cheetahs, leopards, zebras, monkeys and many other species call this land home. Also, the world famous Victoria Falls dot the landscape like a beautiful necklace.

Additional Barrel-Aged Beer Background

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 04:29:52 +0000

We recently spoke with some of the brewers at Avery who created the barrel-aged beers and managed to get a little more background information about the making and inspiration which may help as inspiration.

Brabant is a type of large, Belgian draft horse. The most interesting thing about our Brabant beer is the fact that it is fermented with two strains of “wild” yeast, or brettanomyces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brettanomyces) . Brett is well know to impart flavors and aromas of “sweaty saddle”, “barnyard” or “horsey flavors”, giving new meaning to our naming this beer Brabant.

Sui Generis – This beer was a blend of a BUNCH of different types of barrels, and was a very unique way to build/brew a beer, hence the name Sui Generis, which means “constituting a class of its own; unique”. Chardonnay, port, bourbon, Cab sav barrels etc. all went into this beer. Very rare way to make a beer!

The black tot is named after the infamous day when to British Royal Navy stopped serving sailors their daily allotment of rum. More information can be found at the following links:

Avery-Inspired Show Information

Jason — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:51:00 +0000

In partnership with Avery Brewing, we invite you to participate in the first in a series of shows based on the different series of Ales produced by Avery in Boulder, CO. With the release of the ‘Black Tot’ as the third beer in their Barrel-Aged series in January coinciding with the opening of this show, we have selected these three Barrel-Aged beers as the theme. We introduce to you the Barrel-Aged beers:

Experimentation. Ales and lagers that defy styles or categories. This is what we are about: our driving force, our passion. To further facilitate this innovative spirit, we’ve developed our Barrel-Aged Series where anything, and we mean ANYTHING, goes! Brewed for those as adventurous as we are!

No. 1, Brabant, is a luscious dark ale fermented with two strains of wild yeast (Brettanomyces) then aged for 8 months in Zinfandel barrels. We hope you enjoy sifting through the vast layers of complexity in this mysterious ale.

No. 3, Black Tot, a Rum Barrel Aged Imperial Oatmeal Stout, will be bottled in late December 2009. We hope to release close to 300 cases in January 2010. “Swabbies, what could be better than your daily rats ‘o thick, chewy and rubust Imperial Oatmeal Stout? What say you, matey’s? Aye, throw it in yer beloved empty rum barrels for aging! To our sweethearts and wives, may they never meet! Huzzah!”

Photographs should be inspired by one or more of these beers, their ingredients, and the stories behind them. All images will be due approximately two weeks before the show date (which has not yet been finalized but will be in January). We will be discussing this show as well and doing critiques as part of our normal meetings inline with the preparation for the “Paradox” show.

A land rich in history, blessed with sun kissed beaches, rising surf, and gastronomical delights, Mexico never disappoints. For a vacation that is environment friendly, consider the pacific state of Oaxaca. A short distance from Mexico city, the state of Oaxaca offers a respite from the crowds, true indigenous cuisine and culture, surf, sand and plenty of relaxation.

Next Exposure Theme!

A big thanks to everyone that came down to the voting meeting, we had some great discussion, and without further ado, the next theme is……

Paradox!

We have a location for the show and are working to finalize a date for the opening, but the show will open in February/March. Start shooting and we’ll get the brainstorming meetings and critiques scheduled!

Four Seasons Denver Tweetup

Denver Photo Contest brought together tweeps from the metro area to go up the still “under-construction” Four Seasons Private Residences and Hotel. Boots and pants were a requirement, but it took some tweeps by surprise. What with an open construction site 45 floor high up, anything could happen. An exhilirating ride up the construction elevator, the photographers got a panoramic 360 view of the downtown skyline. While fires blazed in Los Angeles, the Denver skyline was filled with haze.

Exposure Denver brought together twelve photographers in a collective journey exploring the theme of “deconstruction” and how they interpreted life and society from behind their lenses. The opening was part of the Santa Fe Art Walk on First Friday event on June 5th, 2009. The show got a resounding reception and well received by the audience. Livening up the scene were Slam Nuba’s Poetry Jam and live music by the Freedom Movement. The show was broadcast live on comcast channel 57 on cable television.
