Last December, I took a break from the daily grind and hit the road with my coworkers for what I like to call an ‘adult field trip.’ It wasn’t just a work trip to Shiner—it was a chance to reset, reconnect, and remind ourselves why stepping away from the office every now and then matters. From exploring Bedrock Truck Beds to unwinding over a cold one, this trip still stands out as a meaningful moment of authenticity, team bonding, and good ol’ Texas hospitality.

Sometimes work trips have their perks, especially when they take you to a place like Shiner, Texas. This time around, I got to mix business with a bit of fun, stopping first at Bedrock Truck Beds to check out some impressive builds, then heading over to Spoetzl Brewery—the home of Shiner beer—for a look behind the scenes. Armed with my Leica Q2, I captured the day as I went, blending snapshots of Texas craftsmanship with a few moments of downtime. Not a typical workday, but one I’m glad I made time for.
