Rising carbonation bubbles in Wider's pear cider, Black Sheep Bar & Grill, San Luis Obispo, CA. Assuming that bubbles are forming and being released at regular time intervals at nucleation sites, increasing space between bubbles indicates acceleration (due to the buoyant force and Newtonian fluid forces, etc.).
