This is the start of my "Sanctuary Sliders" series where I will be creating burgers based off of locations and characters in the Diablo series.

Your photography skills and food styling is top notch. I visited other food bloggers (mostly beginners) who would somehow make even the tastiest foods look not so good cause they suck with the camera

looks good, but I don't get the purpose of the ale in the burgs?
all that moisture is going to steam them more than char them like you'd want (that's why in some of those the sides look more grey than nice the nice brown you get from Maillard reaction). It probably also hampers your ability to get a nice crust and med-rare pink center. If you did them on a grill, it would probably just cause flame ups. also regading getting a better crust, you should take your spatula or press and push that sucker down when you first throw it on (and dont do this again after - that's how you waste juices). This will create a nice even surface. In the blog pics, you've got spots of brown because the patty is rounded. This will help with that.
imo, if you wanted to get that ale flavor, you'd be better off making those burgers in the pan as you did and then deglazing the pan with the ale and making some sauce to drizzle over, like how you'd make any old pan sauce. you'd get better crust, better color inside, and you'd get much more concentrated and better tasting ale reduction that would taste way better than semi cooked out booze you'd get by throwing it on the meat. usually the route i take is just caramelize my onions with the ale rather than water.
that gazpacho looks dope

It's mainly for thematic purposes. The theme was to represent the map of New Tristram in Diablo. One of the notable areas is the Slaughtered Calf Inn, hence the incorporation of ale!
So in terms of pushing it down, I actually wanted a more "puffy" looking burger. Basically, it's just a big ol' meatball. :D
But yes, I agree with deglazing with ale at the end.
I did incorporate ale into the veggies, so the mushrooms and onions had a much stronger ale flavoring than the meat itself. If anything, I should have left the veggies without ale and given all the ale flavoring to the burger.

ahhh gotcha ok.
Yeah as much as I love smashed burgers for the crust sometimes the puffy ones off the grill with shitty processed cheese are just killer haha. I was just curious about how you used the ale!
