Comments on: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR http://BeerWarsMovie.Com/2009/04/18/be-careful-what-you-wish-for/ In America, size matters. The bigger you are, the more power you have, especially in the business world. Director Anat Baron takes you on a no holds barred exploration of the U.S. beer industry that ultimately reveals the truth behind the label of your favorite beer. Told from an insider’s perspective, the film goes behind the scenes of the daily battles and all out wars that dominate one of America’s favorite industries.

And while you're correct that craft beer is 4% of the domestic beer business in volume, it's 6.3% in dollars (this number includes MillerCoors Blue Moon). So, the business is doing fine and will continue to grow at a rate far above that of either imports or the domestic giants. Consumers can find these products now, including in big chains whose shelf space is dominated by the big brewers. But chain execs recognize the value of selling craft beer.

Sam, Rhonda, Charlie, Greg and all the rest were having a great time and we all hope that everyone across the country had a celebration to go with it also! Cheers!

Seems like a ploy to up the turnout. Not necessarily bad ... I don’t understand why this was a one-night only deal. Seems like a ploy to up the turnout. Not necessarily bad …

I hope that there will be some sort of dvd sales eventually. but, for all the people like me it will never be soon enough.

I wish the film was playing for more than one night, though. I had friends who wanted to see it, but couldn't because they were busy that night. I like the theme that the laws are stacked against the little guy. it's time to get rid of the wholesale middlemen. But don't call this "capitalism" because it's not. It's corporatism bordering on fascism. Imposing equality isn't the answer, allowing liberty IS. Cool to see BEER WARS getting some play on CNN.

What we really need is one of those investigator journalists to bring this to the home TV set on the nightly news. Hopefully the media will continue to march with it now that it is in their hands.
