A first clue: think Mendel, neither Mendelssohn nor Mandelbrot

Happy Independence Day to our friends in America.
Apart from the cone, this is 100% illustrated with Photoshop, (although I did use the Flaming Pear Gliterato plugin for the star field) so please click to expand, or check the full res version here
I don't know about America, but craft beer is a huge thing here. Before COVID (those were the days 😞 ) we used to eat at a place that claimed to have the best range of craft beers in our county. Unfortunately, I have been unable to drink beer for more than 20 years now, because of the pain meds I take, but they also do the best grub in our town. A cool thing about the pub is that it backs on to a small brewery and there is a window from the pub into the brewery. Up until a few years ago, a company called 8 Wired used the brewery, and I did their photography for them. I didn't take the Grand Cry shot and I don't think I took the Saison Sauvin, but the rest are all mine.
@Trevor.DennisThose are nice looking beers, just my thing.
I like the window into the brewery - can't get fresher than that !
Allow me to tell you a story about my Uncle Harry.
Years ago he owned a small very Scottish hotel near Tomintoul and the distillery.
The bar had beautiful oak panelling and an impressive wooden bar and lots of glass and brass.
On the bar top was an old fashioned brass water spigot for the clientel to add to their whisky
My Uncle, who had a real sense of the absurd, did a Heath Robinson on said spigot and with the use of some tubing, a foot pump for tires and a bottle, engineered the spigot to dispense whisky.
His great love was to wait til he had some American guests and he would delight in convincing them that the whisky was on draft from the distillery just up the road!!
No beer in heaven though, Euan...

"In heaven there is no beer, that's why we drink it here.
And when we're gone from here, our friends will be drinking all the beer."
By @jane-e
I've definitely had some Heavenly beer 🙂
I believe the earlier attempt was riddled with lacks, sorry.
The first clue is still Mendel, neither Mendelssohn nor Mandelbrot.
The second clue is SFTW.
