Even if "Beer Wars" works best as a brief introduction to craft beers, and inspires audiences to explore craft breweries in their area and beyond, then the film works. Go to Full Review Kimberly Gadette Indie Movies Online Sep 28, 2009
8/10
A smart look at craft breweries trying to stay afloat against the stout-iest suds corps in the world. A film that just might be good for whatever 'ales' you. Go to Full Review Christian Toto What Would Toto Watch? Sep 22, 2009

Nov 30, 2013 If you're a beer person and appreciate good beer, watch this. A David v. Goliath story of the big corporations v. the small brewer See more Oct 20, 2013 Very interesting look into the battle of beer. See more Aug 29, 2013 It packs a whallop, not unlike Food Inc. It appears A-B sits right up there with the likes of Monsanto and Walmart, in addition to their ongoing complete disregard for trade laws. See more Jul 26, 2013 It could be half an hour shorter. The parts about how shelf-space is determined as well as the three-tier system are interesting, however a lot of this documentary could have been overlooked. See more Jun 18, 2013 Big beer sucks. Good movie. See more Apr 27, 2013 Capitalism run amuck. If you enjoy a cold one, this is a must on the gander list. See more Read all reviews
