Beer Wars

Interesting enough, the best part is the veteran beer drinkers who swear by a big brand not being able to taste test their own favored beer. Water is water.

Somewhat interesting, although Jim Koch as the symphatetic small guy has not aged that well.

A light-hearted and honest look at what it takes to be in the business of brewing and selling beer in this day and age. With Miller and Coors joining forces to take on the behemoth that is Anheuser Busch, all of the little guys are getting crushed in the rubble or are being bought out only to be mass produced and watered down (I'm looking at you Rolling Rock!). Definitely makes you want to cheer for the little guys (and not just in the world of beer).

Basically informative, but lacks both depth & personal hooks.

Anat Baron is following a little too closely to Michael Moore's shadow in her style, but thankfully the content is there and it's good. I would have liked a little more attention to small brewers, but that would have come at the expense at revealing dubious actions taken by the big brewers, and that was by far the most interesting part of the doc. My biggest take away is that Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione is the coolest man in beer.

Interesting look at the beer industry and how it is yet another area which is dominated by corporate giants.
