November 2013 Local Artist of the Month

Blue Stallion Brewing is proud to feature Kevin Talley as our Local Artist of the Month for November 2013. Kevin is a photographer who lives and works in Louisville, KY. His photography focuses on horses, portraits and weddings. Some of his work involving horses is on display in the Blue Stallion taproom.

Here’s a little more about Kevin in his own words:

[quote align=”center” color=”#999999″]

Photography for me is much more then a profession or hobby, it is in fact my passion and love. Very few times you find me without a camera nearby as you never know when you might just capture the perfect image.

Working in Miami, Los Angeles, and my hometown of Louisville KY, in the modeling industry, I got to work with the best photographers in the business. In 2004 I met and worked with world renowned photographer John Russo in Los Angeles. Working with John over the last several years, I learned a great deal of how I shoot today. Always keeping my work at a high and professional level, I’m still always out to learn more and share my experience with other photographers.

Unloading Brewing Tanks Time Lapse Video

On November 2nd, 2012, the first truck carrying our brewing tanks arrived at the brewery. The video below is a time lapse of what it was like to unload the first two trucks. It was a little nerve racking unloading the equipment that was supposed to be the bones behind the whole operation. Thankfully all the tanks got unloaded without any major issues.

It’s been a year since we unloaded them. We’re amazed to think about everything that’s changed in that time. From the ridiculously long build out, to the grand opening and Oktoberfest, it’s been a hell of a ride. Thank you to all the craft beer drinkers that made this last year possible!

It would be a few months after this before we got the tanks lifted upright and put in place. Be sure to check out this this post where we detail the progress around lifting the tanks and show off another time lapse video of the lifting process.
