A very good reporting here on an event new to most of us (I'd like to taste that beer!).
Very good sequence of the event.
I might have liked a big crop of the top of the first image to emphasize the crowd.
As images in themselves, I do have favorites that could make another collection: #3, 5, 6 and 8.

I love travel essays in words or images.

I love the way your frame is a gradiated, or whatever word it is I'm looking for that means it has gentle changes in color. This does have a wonderful sense of spring! Very lovely.

Nice followup to your last essay. The term “gravity beer” is new to me and makes sense. Can’t help but wonder if the gravity is really on the consumer more than the beer ;-)

As Mita eloquently stated, looking through these I can hear the atmosphere. When a photograph awakens senses other than visual you are exceeding the limitations of photography. Congratulations are in order! I particularly like the quiet captured in the last image. A few echoes remain allowing us to contemplate what just happened.

Clive’s advice is very good for shooting in low light. Cameras are beginning to handle higher ISO setting quite well. ISO 3200 is still usable on my Fuji X-T2. I’ve been shooting with a shutter speed of 1/125 sec, aperture 1.4, and auto ISO floating up to 3200. The blur in your images doesn’t bother me and helps illustrate the events energy.

This is a great example of the genre ... I especially like the "flash" going off -- it reminds me of one of my old shots where I took a picture capturing another photographer's flash. :-)

The essay reveals a piece of culture and a community I was not exposed to before. The sheer number of individuals involved, as can be seen in the first frame is striking to me. I can almost hear the cheerful noise of people talking, laughing, clicking silverware against dishes and beer glasses against each other. The lighting is cheerful and inviting as well. Your treatment sure makes people want to join one of those events.

Good work and thanks for sharing!

p.s. I had to look really well to see the blur Clive is referring to, which may well mean that I need glasses.
