beer movie review

Not sure where this fits on the forum, but we just rented American Beer on Netflix. A great documentary.
Armed with a minivan and a camera, five thirsty friends set out from New York City on the ultimate road trip -- a self-guided tour through 38 breweries in 40 days. Sampling brews from Vermont to Oregon and everywhere in between, the tasters test ales from mid-sized companies, microbreweries and the makers of so-called "craft beers," discovering as much along the way about the individual beers as the men and women who make them.
Great interviews with New Glarus, New Belgium, Anchor, and especially Bells in Michigan. As an entrepreneur, I want to go worship Larry Bell.
This is an excellent flick for anyone interested in the people behind the labels. And it will make you ache for the days when you were 20 something and no steady job and 40 days you could have just blow off by touring breweries coast to coast.
