5 Weeks and Counting

I can’t believe that in 5 weeks from today, we’ll be getting ready for the big event. As you can imagine, preparations are well on the way. Excitement is building. I’ll be sharing a lot more in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, here’s another video extra. This one features Kim Jordan, Founder of New Belgium Brewing (makers of Fat Tire). Her company is one of the biggest success stories in the craft beer world.

    Awesome!! Awesome!! Awesome!! It’s going to be great to see what the world will think of their traditional light lager after this hits the big screen. Great idea, great work!! Best of luck to the entire team. David can take down Goliath – it all starts with the truth!!

    I hope that this movie gives the big corporations a run for it’s money. As a matter of fact, I think I’d like to see the small craft brewing companies take over the industry. Companies like Stone, Marin Brewing, and St. Peter’s deserve better than the big guys. This movie was a long time coming. Thanks Anat.

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.
