BIG NEWS TO SHARE

I am so tired because I have been working 24/7 on the big launch. I have to say that while I am exhausted, I am also so excited that all this hard work is finally going live. While making this film, my focus has been on sharing this story. So here we go.

I’ve been planning for tomorrow for the past three years and all I can say is: It’s HERE!

Watch this space for more blog posts but in the meantime, watch the trailer and tell me what you think…

    Of all the people you could have chosen to host your live panel discussion with the movie, why did it have to be Ben Stein? After revealing himself as an enemy of actual science with the shoddy documentary ‘Expelled’, I will not watch any production that includes him. Which means I’ll apparently be missing a pretty good beer documentary. Oh well.

    Jim:
    I’m so sorry you feel that way. We chose Ben because he is smart, articulate and an economist. The perfect person to help us navigate through this topic. As a fellow documentary filmmaker, I watched EXPELLED and do not agree with his views on intelligent design. But last I checked, this is America where freedom speech is part of the constitution. Please be assured that Ben will be there to moderate the panel of beer industry insiders and not to discuss his views. I hope you’ll reconsider.

Oenophiles have SIDEWAYS and BOTTLE SHOCK; now their beer-loving counterparts can claim a film as their own.
- Rotten Tomatoes
A David and Goliath story pitting the country's smallest brewers against the largest.
- CNN
Beer Wars: Brewed in America, is an eye-opening, funny and righteously infuriating documentary by first-time filmmaker Anat Baron. Her film (think of it as Suds: A Love Story) is also a pretty damning indictment of not just the beer industry but contemporary unfettered unregulated capitalism's disturbing excesses.
- Box Office Magazine
In Beer Wars, entrepreneurialism and opportunity go awry when tainted by greed and a thirst for power.
- Los Angeles Times
Beer Wars certainly raises some interesting questions, the most potent of which is, is this what capitalism is meant to be?
- New Times
For those who are keeping the American dream alive, this spirited documentary raises a toast.
- St Louis Post-Dispatch
A trenchant analysis unapologetic in its rebuke of Big Beer, Beer Wars is heartily recommended for patrons already inclined to opt for the local brew at every tap. It will also appeal to patrons interested in craft foods as well as homebrewed beer and wine and others particular about quality.
