BEER WARS NEWS: Holiday Giving Special Offer!
I’m happy to report that Beer Wars is going mainstream. I can’t make the big announcement yet but we just closed a deal to make the film available to tens of millions of people beginning February 1st. More on this when I can make a formal announcement. All I can say is that this is BIG. And I can’t wait to share.

In the meantime, we continue to have screenings far and wide. Just this month, I traveled to San Diego, Rehoboth Beach and New York City. My favorite part (because I’ve seen the movie at least a 1,000 times) is the Q&A at the end. Audiences really get that this film is about important issues and that we need to address them sooner than later. And it’s been fun to show Beer Wars not only to craft beer geeks but to a film festival audience and even scientists from around the world at Rockefeller University.

Thank you for being part of this adventure.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Anat Baron

Sam and Rhonda Update

If you watched the film, then you may be wondering what’s new with the two main characters:

Sam Calagione
I visited Sam at his expanded brewery last week. They recently added a second floor to house their offices (Sam still has a cubicle) so they could add more brewing equipment on the ground floor. I cannot believe how Dogfish Head has grown since we started filming there four years ago. They even had to move the bocce courts to make room for more giant tanks. Yet Sam continues to be as real as he was back then. We had a great time screening the film to a sold out crowd at the Rehoboth Beach Film Festival despite the storm raging around us.

You can read more about Sam’s ongoing obsession with creating extreme beers here, here, and here. And congrats to Dogfish Head on being named Paste Magazine’s top American brewery of the decade.

Rhonda Kallman
Rhonda was about to announce a major launch for Moonshot with a national retailer when the US government brought everything to a halt. Ten days ago the FDA began investigating caffeinated alcohol producers including New Century Brewing. So now Rhonda is fighting a new kind of beer war. Read more here. Stay tuned, the Moonshot saga continues.

IN THE MEDIA

"BEER WARS: Brewed in America, is an eye-opening, funny and righteously infuriating documentary by first-time filmmaker Anat Baron. Her film (think of it as Suds: A Love Story) is also a pretty damning indictment of not just the beer industry but contemporary unfettered unregulated capitalism’s disturbing excesses. Given our current economic climate this is a film with all sorts of resonances beyond its immediate subject."
- Boxoffice Magazine

"BEER WARS is the perfect kind of documentary, one that is both informative and enjoyable to watch in every sense the filmmaker intended. Not only that, it gives the viewer a new-found appreciation for the smaller companies that are attempting to make any kind of headway in a world dominated by only a few. BEER WARS is a triumphant mixture of style, information, and storytelling. Let’s just hope Baron’s interests do not stop at the world of alcohol."
- We Are Movie Geeks

"Beer Wars is thick with insight into one of the favorite adult beverages in the world. But filmmaker Anat Baron smartly gives us an American story–one with ironic bite and wit. Check out what you’re drinking. After watching Beer Wars, I’ll study more closely that paper label soaking up condensation on my favorite beer. Smaller just might be better . . ."
- EInsiders

"For those who are keeping the American dream alive, this spirited documentary raises a toast."
- St Louis Post Dispatch

"This feature-length independent documentary goes behind the scenes of the U.S. beer industry, revealing the struggles of independent brewers and their battles against the corporate beer giants. Director and producer Anat Baron comes through with one of the most interesting and revealing films of the year. Pour a cold one and chug down some knowledge."
