Set up a plate of glass on paper with a hole in the bottom to light the beer. I was planning on using other lights, but the ambient light in the room proved to be the best. Adjusted exposure, saturation, convert from raw, rotate, crop, usm.

Color, Saturation, and Hue: Colors are good, nothing is over saturated, hues appear realistic.
Brightness and contrast: I'm not sure exactly what you were going for here. The sand appears to be a little under lit, for a daytime shot. If you were going for a evening sundown tropical shot, then it could work.
Focus and depth of field: Both are done very well. Nice sharp focus, and the sand in the background goes soft, as it should if it is representing a beach.
I'm taking this as a representation of a giant bottle of beer near a sandy beach and small island. I like the lighting, and the underlight to light the beer is a neat idea. Kind of a beer lighthouse... The grain in the picture does distract a bit. Perhaps a longer exposure at ISO 100 would cure this. The light under the beer gives itself away at the front of the bottle. Perhaps a smaller hole, or putting the beer "ashore" with some beach in front of it, would hide the bright area in the bottom of the glass. I would also like to see the bottle not cut off in the reflection. Now if you would have had access to some tiny palm trees, and a sky with clouds....
All in all a very entertaining shot and a nice play on Corona Light, with the light.
The bottle is very well lit and the bottle opener is a good prop. Looks a bit lost in the rest of the scene though, perhaps a tighter view with less of the reflection would be an option? Still clear top 10 stuff though.
I like the simplicity of it, and i like the blue contrast with yellow. i do though not like the noise and im not sure really what the sand and stuff in the left is for.
beautiful, i think that is a lamp, no? i've seen some at stores that look like this, a bottle thats really a lamp. anywyas, awesome job, hope this does well for you
