No more cakes and ale?

SIR TOBY BELCH: Out o' tune, sir: ye lie. Art any more than a steward? Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale? - Twelfth Night.

Cuts, recession, inflation, economic turmoil... will there really be no more cakes and ale?

Not here in Stroud if we can help it. Our very own craft brewery Stroud Brewery is expanding to four time current capacity. I'm working on a revamp of the website update and we had a meeting with an export communication consultant followed by picnic lunch (with beer) and a product shoot today. The beer pouring pics didn't work out as I'd have liked but once it was poured we couldn't throw it away now could we!

The product pics have, on the whole, come out pretty well. I'm a landscape photographer (if I'm any kind of photographer at all) and there's a lot less reflections to contend with in a landscape as compared to glass of ale and bottles of beer.
