**Original** – A Carling Black Label Beer Draught, pictured in a pub in Johannesburg, South Africa

Reason: It is a fair quality photograph that exhibits a lesser represented area of the Wiki.

Oppose – Beer aficionado though I am, must oppose this due to substandard detail at full res – and the quasi-promotional character of the composition. Sca (talk) 13:29, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I find this picture too dark and a little cluttered in the background. I think a full pint would also be preferable. I'm certainly not opposed to this kind of photo in principle (and I'm also a beer-lover, though not this one); indeed, we're very short of drink FPs. While it's not perfect (white head on a white background?), I think something like File:Leffe blonde en verre.jpg would be a little better. Josh Milburn (talk) 23:41, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm with you on choices, Josh. (How about this one?) Sca (talk) 15:08, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are you asking me about the beer or the photo? I definitely like the beer; I've just moved from the UK to Canada, which has opened up a whole new range of drinks to me. I tried the well-named Moosehead Lager the other day- surprisingly flavourful, given stereotypes about North American beer... The photo still isn't quite there lighting-wise, even though the composition's good. It's also not under an appropriate license. I suspect if we have a dig around we'll find a few that are worth a nomination here; I'll keep my eyes open. Josh Milburn (talk) 15:54, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

'Craft' and 'micro'-brews have proliferated hugely in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. I don't know if the same is true in Canada. Anyhow, my pic was just to illustrate a simple shot of a glass of beer under natural light – of which there are very few on Commons. Here's one that would be OK were it not for the horrendously distracting clutter. →

Comment. The "fogging" effect of the lighting at the left of the picture is not good. 109.146.96.222 (talk) 03:59, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
