I photographed the Atlanta Summer Beer Festival at Masquerade Music Park for the Virginia Highland Patch on Saturday June 26, 2011. 2,200 people attended the annual event that served over 50 different types of beers from local Atlanta breweries as well as breweries from across the U.S. These are my favorite images from the festival.
