No more teasing. Here it is. Starting tomorrow, February 1st, Beer Wars will be available to rent or buy to anyone in the US and Canada who has a TV or computer (or gaming console). So finally the movie will be widely available to a mainstream audience. Woo hoo!
The cool thing about all this is that it was made possible through distribution deals with Warner Bros. and Netflix. That’s right, these folks who know a thing or two about the film business, have chosen Beer Wars as part of their offering. After the long road it took to get here, this is a happy day indeed not just for me but for all the people who can now get to watch it.
So where will the movie be available?
In the U.S., Beer Wars is available to rent On Demand through Digital Cable and Satellite providers Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox, Cablevision, Charter, Insight, Bresnan, Verizon FiOS, AT & T U-Verse, Dish Network and DirecTV. It is also available for download on iTunes, Amazon Video On Demand, Xbox 360 and PS3.
In Canada, the film is available to rent On Demand through Digital Cable and Satellite providers Rogers Cable, Cogeco, Videotron, Sasktel and Shaw.
The film will also be available through Netflix either through streaming or DVD. And you’ll be able to buy the DVD from Amazon.
If you live outside the US, you can buy the DVD here.
Here’s one of the spots that will be running on select on demand preview channels:

This is AWESOME!
I think this should help the craft beer market and to help people understand what they are really buying and supporting.
Congratulations! This is an excellent movie.
It’s great to see so many small breweries thriving these days. Well, hopefully thriving… I’m trying to do my part.
Anat that is awesome!! So glad that you are getting widers distribution and really hope it allows you some extra capital to put together some of those ‘extra features’ (hint hint)….
So glad that the movie is still growing… Congrats!!!
Congratulations! It’s a great movie. when can we expect the next one??
Congrats! This is fantastic news.
Will the Netflix version of the film be streamed in HD or standard def?
Mike:
i provided Netflix with both versions. i believe they stream SD to your computer and HD is possible to a set top box.
Watched Beer Wars last night on Comcast. My wife, who’s not a beer person at all, actually enjoyed it too. I’m pretty new to the craft beer scene, and watching the film has made my allegiance to independents like Sam Calagione and Greg Koch even stronger. They are modern day heroes in my book.
Great documentary! Big fan of the small breweries forget the “Big Guys” Have never had the opportunity of trying your beverages but wanted to wish you the best of luck.. perhaps one day it will arrive on our shelves..
Please don’t spill all. That is alcohol abuse
