Just saw this salacious little video while visiting Brewpublic and thought it was worth sharing. The video Beer Porn was apparently created by Michael O’Connor from Bailey’s Taproom in Portland, Oregon. It was filmed for the NW Film Center last fall. You can also read O’Connor’s hilarious description of his film on Brewpublic. Enjoy.
