AMERICAN BEER
Filmmaker Present to Introduce Film
Gentlemen...Start your livers! Since the best beer in America is locally-made
and available, Brooklyn filmmaker Paul Kermizian and four friends hit the road
to visit a button-busting 38 breweries in 40 days! In the 1970's, there were
only 50 major beer bottlers in the U.S. Today there are over 1,700 individual
brewmasters throughout the country bottling their personal experiences as
tinkerers, closet brewers, cooks and
entrepreneurs in the form of unique beer recipes. Some of these former
you-name-its have become the most recent captains of industry; others might
better be described as drunks! All their stories about beer and beer-making are
inspired: crazy ingredients, brewing in basements, starting from scratch,
sampling the wares, fighting the big three brewers, and of course, the perfect
cure for hangovers. And speaking of hangovers,
don't forget about our road-tripping, glass-tipping lads behind the camera. From
Maine to Oregon, they must sample at least five pints of the best beer in
America each night for over a month! That adds up to a lot of drinks, drunks,
chucks, cheeseburgers, naps and new belt notches. Can our fearless filmmakers
get to New Orleans before cirrhosis sets in! In the true, ahem, spirit of
Central Standard, American Beer amusingly shows how much more interesting,
inspired, and rewarding America is once you tap into a keg of our subculture
and, well, flush the mainstream!
