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."

"
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 . . ."

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."
