Sounds fantastic! Love to try a 1,000 year old beer. ;-)
Regarding the photo: Composition is excellent. Don't change a thing.
Perhaps a fill flash, low power would brighten up the colors of the person? The beer is fine, but saturation is lacking just a touch on the person. you could Photoshop with masking to achieve this, but it takes a while. Easier to have it in the shot to begin with. Just be careful with fill flash, it is not meant to overpower the main exposure, Just punch up the items in shadow.
An interesting composition. We should create a beer contest I think! Because of some reason the bottle seems flat to me. It usually happens when the shadows/highlights are reduced/removed but may be it is just a problem of my selective vision :)
+Michael Mossiagin, It looks flat tiny, but when I blow it up on full screen, if anything, it looks to contrasty? Again it's a ultimate size of use, issue.
Oshi Shikigami & Michael Mossiagin Both of you revealed my tricks easily. :) I didn't use flash but while processing I lightened the man's face and strengthened the contrast of the bottle's label. As far as I haven't mastered the Photoshop, my drawbacks are obvious to the experts. :( As for the beer, the legend says that there was a fire at the monastery and after it the monks discovered that the beer acquired a very specific taste which added peculiarity to it. I can only confirm that that they were right! :)
Igor Rybnikov , none of us were born knowing photoshop. And after decades, I am still learning Photoshop! LOL So, just keep playing with it. Remember almost always there is more than one way to do something in Photoshop as well.
Check out some of the photoshop or other photo editing communities. If you wish I can send a few recommendations.
Wonderful story about the beer. I will have to see if my local ABC store can special order some. :-)
Igor Rybnikov, or anyone else, I am very happy to try and answer any Photoshop (or other) questions. If I don't know, I may be able to at least send you in the right direction, on the web. :-)

Thank you Oshi Shikigami for your readiness to help me. When I start learning how to work with PS, I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions. :)
