IT’S OFFICIAL

Today is our official launch for BEER WARS LIVE on April 16th. We are going to be in 440 theatres across America for one night only. We will have the world premiere of the film followed by a live talk-show style panel with key people from the movie (think reunion show) led by Ben Stein. For more on the event or to find a theatre near you go to the Fathom Events website.

We’ve already received lots of buzz (all viral) and people are planning events in their communities that evening. Please help us to get the word out so that we can get the conversation started!

And check back often for more exclusive videos.

Greg Koch (Stone) and Kim Jordan (New Belgium) will be posted this week in addition to Jim Koch (Boston Beer) and Sam Calagione (Dogfish Head).

    Anat, the doc looks INcredible. I’m bummed I have a beer event at exactly 8 on the 16th, but hope to be able to Netflix it after. Very exciting.

    Why, why, why, must you sully this awesome experience with the presence of liar, charlatan, and manipulator Ben Stein? This is so disappointing! I’m excited about Beer Wars, and was all hyped up and ready to drive two hours to see the film, until I saw the note about Stein’s participation.

    Guys, I love what you’re doing, and I hope you get rich off of Beer Wars. I really do. But I honestly can’t give you a dollar of my money if even a cent of it will be going to someone like Stein, who has blatantly and dishonestly done his best to undermine the integrity of science education in the US.

    Sorry :(

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.
