The best craft brewing photos of 2014

December 29, 2014Keith Gribbins

Frogs and Dogs Rogue
Rogue Ales loves dogs, and its dog history dates back to Brewer, the longtime companion of Rogue Brewmaster John Maier.

Sometimes words can be unclear. So, let us focus on a few images to sum up 2014. It was yet another insanely prolific year for the craft brewing industry, and each of these images showcases a big moment in those last 12 crazed months. Read the cutlines if you want or just gaze in wonder at these beautiful moments captured in time. We’ve got a little bit of everything here: Glorious hop harvest images; craft beer festivals turned dance parties; owners and brewmasters raising pints; and even the Photoshop magic of a wooden beer bottle (right below). If you have a favorite image, let us know about it in the comments below.
