Joe Williams St. Louis Post-Dispatch For those who are keeping the American dream alive, this spirited documentary raises a toast. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 25, 2009 Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat A flat, stale brew. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 14, 2009 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 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. Rated: B- Sep 28, 2009 Full Review Kimberly Gadette Indie Movies Online 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. Rated: 8/10 Sep 28, 2009 Full Review Christian Toto What Would Toto Watch? Beer Wars is Michael Moore lite - less filling and not as tasty as Moore's best documentaries. Rated: 2/4 Sep 22, 2009 Full Review Jennifer Merin About.com This soapbox doc ain't a promo for the suds you swig while watching ESPN! Filmmaker Anat Baron's Beer Wars asserts that best-selling brews like Budweiser, Miller's and Coors are more like colored water. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 27, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Very interesting look into the battle of beer. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Big beer sucks. Good movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Capitalism run amuck. If you enjoy a cold one, this is a must on the gander list. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
