Beer is a versatile drink that many people enjoy. There is a wide range of beers to choose from, from refreshing light versions, strong and aromatic versions and the wide creation of craft beers that go outside the box with fruit blends.
IPAs are characterized by their initial bitterness, due to the amount of hops added in their preparation. This bitterness gives way to other sweet and fruity flavors, since other aromas are added in addition to hops.
If you are a beer lover or simply curious about new taste experiences, there is sure to be a type of beer that suits your preferences.

I have always been passionate about creating monochrome images, having a black product on a black background is challenging, the conceptualization of an elegant image, a different way of representing a product like beer with a style more related to other types of alcoholic beverages.
