American Beer (the movie)

I stumbled upon something cool on YouTube this afternoon... American Beer (the movie) Check it out!

In June of 2002, five friends left New York City by minivan and traveled across the United States in search of good beer, visiting 38 breweries in 40 days.

Directed and produced by Paul Kermizian, American Beer follows Jon Miller, Jeremy Goldberg, Richard Sterling, Rob Purvis and Paul during their 40 day, 38 brewery journey as they tour breweries and brewpubs, interview leaders of the craft brewing industry, taste beer, get drunk, get lost, get speeding tickets, get poison oak, check into hotels, check out of hotels, argue, bicker, fight, and generally lose their minds. They defy the limits of the human body (and mind) by drinking beer for 40 straight days while traveling over 10,000 miles. Thankfully, it was all very good beer.

I gotta get a copy of this one! And I want to be in the sequel!

Speaking of Oktoberfest, did you see Beerfest?

Have you seen Beerfest? If you enjoy cheap laughs, home brewing, breweries, beer drinking party games, and all kinds of tomfoolery, than this is the movie for you! It's from the same gang of goofballs that brought us Super Troopers. And it's chock full of humorous beer related sound bytes like this little gem... "It's magical!"

IMDB has some great photos... There's even a pretty good soundtrack...

If you're not afraid to laugh at a keg full of sophomoric beer humor, than it's well worth the rental fees for anyone who loves beer and laughter. Or better yet, why not buy your own copy?

It touches on the cultural phenomenon that is Oktoberfest and skips over to a fictional version of the world famous German festival that involves an international competition revolving around high stakes beer drinking party games. The main characters own their own microbrewery and brew pub and represent the USA in the Olympics of beer swilling. What could be better than that?

Check it out this week over a tasty pint of your favorite Oktoberfest brew...
