To the seasoned beer geek, a documentary about macro versus micro brewed beer might be old hat. However, Anat Baron, writer, producer, and director of Beer Wars, takes viewers on an entertaining and educational trip through the underbelly of the American beer industry by profiling craft breweries like Dogfish Head and Stone Brewing alongside brewing giants.
Baron also explores the strength of advertising within the beer world and shows how breweries with deep pockets are able to manipulate the beer market.
Follow two "small" beer producers, Sam Caligione (Dogfish Head) and Rhonda Kallman (New Century Brewing), on their journey to "live the dream" while battling corporate America and mega-breweries.
