Really nice to see the US getting on the "pub" rather than the "bar" bandwagon. They're much more friendly, interesting and family orientated places that actually give out a good impression of the alcohol they serve. It's a lot of fun
As a european, avid homebrewer and craft beer lover, I just want to confirm, that all "brewing world" is watching US beer revolution with open mouths (since few good years, actually). That's just amazing and awesome!!!! Cheers!!!!
Great video! Thanks. I began home brewing 3 years ago, doing so opened up a whole new world of beer appreciation. I was a BMC beer drinker, and still have them occasionally, but craft beer is like taking an around the world taste trip. Porters, stouts, Hefe's, sours, flavored, spiced, blackened, IPA's, IIPA's, the list and variations go on and on. And you can make them, economically. Not all are great, but the vast majority are! If you love beer, home brewing will open up a whole new world to you, and it's never too late, I started at 65.
What craft beer has done is given us choices and shown us that there is a whole new world out there besides just the one style offered to American beer drinkers for so many years. Until I started home brewing, my go to was Keystone Light... won't touch it anymore. If you want to know what the best beer is, I'd say it's whatever you prefer. I definitely am a much bigger fan of craft beer than anything offered by the macro breweries. But, I can sit down with a friend and enjoy a nice IPA while they have their Miller Lite, etc...and it's all cool.
Jeremy, excellent short. I really hope you are sending this to the festivals. I'm a doc maker, huge beer fan and have been kicked out of the Zeitgeist a few times. Cool you got the Tamale Lady in there. Love Racer Five, Lagunitas & Prohibition. Never been to City Beer. Well made doc!
Im so happy about the craft beer hype! got a good bar with like 20 local craft beers on tap and like 80 in bottles in ,y area and some great craft beer stores and online shops!
If you like craft beer then you should visit Asheville, North Carolina. There are so many craft breweries in that place and the local restaurants there serve those beers. The beer I have drank which was crafted in Asheville have, pretty much, been very good. Highland is a good brand but it’s pretty limited in scope of where you can buy it.
Create my own brewery is the dream of my life. I'm only a homebrewer nowadays, and here in Brazil the craft beer movement is only in the beggining, but we already have great craft breweries around the country and serious homebrewer associations. Great video, and congratulations for your work.
I've tasted wine, vodka, brandy, gin, scotch, rum and all kinds of cocktails and I have to say Beer is one of my favorites; especially when its mixed with honey or maple syrup. Coconut Rum is also really good, as are coolers with low % of alcohol. In the 5-10% range tho, I would have to say beer is by far the best alcoholic bevrage :]
The enthusiasm from these guys is really contagious. I'm just starting this hobby at home and I wish I can go live in the west coast - specifically Washington but I'm Canadian FML ... XD.
Wow! That's just impressive! Even if I'm a German guy still living in Germany I must admit that I would like to visit this bar for some reasons. Many people are inclined to say best beers are always brewed in Germany which is defintitely wrong cause we also do have too many so-called mainstream beers tasting like water and nothing else. Visiting local bars here in the centre of Germany tells the same story: mainstream beers, nothing else. If I wanna buy a special craft beer I also need to purchase it via Internet. You see: it's the same in Germany... Hopfen und Malz - Gott erhalt's! :-) (Hops and Malt - God may preserve it) Hope you unterstood the most part of it :-)
Man this just gives me the warm fuzzies! I wonder if we'll see New Zealand get into a boom like this - obviously not on the same scale but yeah more beer!!!
Love this video! Used to homebrew when I lived in Canada, Never quite made it to full grain mash stage due to money, space and, eventually, time restrictions. Back here in Ireland now for 14 years and those same restrictions apply except for time. However, I plan to win the lottery and move to northern California :0) Best wishes to you all and great respect.
Trappist beer is by far the best beer in the entire world...and although its expensive (here) its good to know by buying Trappist beer they use that money for charities and other great deeds....(part of one of the laws to even being called a Trappist Beer)
the short film Alcohology by Calzone Spaceship used a craft brewery for one of their stories... it was pretty good. I heard they also invented their own beer for the movie.
For me as a german and as a bartender it honestly hurts my soul to see all this beer being served without a nice, foamy crown! Otherwise great great great documentary
Great doco. Damn, i miss living in the US. In Aus now and in comparison, the scene here sucks and don't get me started on the cost of manufacturing and retail due to tax.
Maybe that's a good thing. It means more places will carry their beers and it can act as a gateway beer into the craft beer scene. This means this industry can grow while the generic beer market will shrink. Overall, I think that's better.
The beer is indeed called Budvar in the Czech Republic, but the location it is originally brewed in is called Budějovice (Budweis). You can read more on Wikipedia (wiki/Budweiser_Budvar_Brewery).
"You're only happy when you work for yourself" the dude spoke the truth
Screw the corporates, support the micro breweries and craft beer makers! Great hopumentary.
Really nice to see the US getting on the "pub" rather than the "bar" bandwagon. They're much more friendly, interesting and family orientated places that actually give out a good impression of the alcohol they serve. It's a lot of fun
Very well produced, interesting story, and a fantastic endorsement for what American entreprenurial spirit is all about. Congratulations.

Everytime I'm drinking beer, I end up watching a video about beer.
"There's no end in sight to people drinking better beer and getting off the crap."
blackboxkdl good riddance to bad rubbish I say.
Enjoying a “Primus WeizenBock” from Live Oak Brewing out of Live Oak Texas. God bless the craft.
Loved the Doc. All the way here in the East Coast we still have our fair share of crafts here, and it is the best type of beer to drink.
Jeremy, excellent short. I really hope you are sending this to the festivals. I'm a doc maker, huge beer fan and have been kicked out of the Zeitgeist a few times. Cool you got the Tamale Lady in there. Love Racer Five, Lagunitas & Prohibition. Never been to City Beer. Well made doc!
Makes me proud to live in CA with all these passionate, successful business owners making delightful beer in my own back yard.
Craft Beer is the American Way! beer culture is increasing happy to see how's the future going to look like for us
Very cool doc! Craft beer is now. Craft beer is the future.

Wish it was 5x as long, loved this short film.
Well done...glad I am a part of this little world of ours
Very interesting documentary!

Great film! You got me super inspired for more craftbeer!
April thanks for sharing! This is perfect timing for CCR. Stay tuned.
Wow. Good story. I will watch. Tell us about beer taxes.

very cool. love the local vibe and spotlighting businesses rooted in normal everyday people. Cheers
This was fantastic. Make more docs like this

Great! This video really creates appetite for more... - To your health!

Sonic84 Germany is still the king of beers and the originators
royal nass :-)
There are great small breweries and bars in Germany as well! They're just not as popular yet, but they do exist and always existed.
The craft beer scene has been on the rise throughout Europe. From my time in Berlin there were quite a few breweries and tap houses to choose from.
Man this just gives me the warm fuzzies! I wonder if we'll see New Zealand get into a boom like this - obviously not on the same scale but yeah more beer!!!
what a great ideo for a video! really enjoyed it. thanks for sharing
That was awesome. I live in the bay area and know all these guys! Hooraaay for beer!!
A nice doc. A better title would've been "San Francisco Craft Beer" as that city represents the entirety of the film's content.
You have the UK to thank for this beer revolution
Good documentary on craft beer.
Awesome video! Great job!
Really well done, thanks for sharing.
Lost Coast Brewery represent!!
Fantastic!! You've really captured the energy and hope of the beer scene in the Bay Area. Great interviews in this.

Craftbeer rocks.
Love this video! Used to homebrew when I lived in Canada, Never quite made it to full grain mash stage due to money, space and, eventually, time restrictions.

I enjoyed this video quite a bit. Very high quality and had a lot of depth for being only 15 minutes long. Andrew Kent sent me here, by the way.
Living the craft beer dream.
I Love craft beer!
12 executives from Coors, Budweiser, and Miller dislike this video.
+WarWolfen Another 24 joined in from Anheuser-Busch InBev, Heineken, Carlsberg, SABMiller and Asahi.
Don't forgot Constellation.
WarWolfen Er... the executives from Coors and Miller... would they be the same executives from MillerCoors Inc? Nice try.
deebadubbie Budweiser are ABI.
Nice documentary!!! Think global, drink local!!!
Great video! Proud to be a frequent City Beer Store and Zeitgeist customer :)

As a brewer this makes me really excited.so much so i think i need to get one of my Homecrafted APAs.Cheers for the video @petit_tronc
For me as a german and as a bartender it honestly hurts my soul to see all this beer being served without a nice, foamy crown! Otherwise great great great documentary
Well done!
Very cool! It sure does make me thirsty too haha.
Great doco. Damn, i miss living in the US. In Aus now and in comparison, the scene here sucks and don't get me started on the cost of manufacturing and retail due to tax.
10:46 - I did notice Stella Artois in the lager section... why?
Stefan Filby ... because its a lager lol
because Stella is a lager
Very nice
this is so gooD!
and now lagunitas and ballast point are part of the empire.....
Maybe that's a good thing. It means more places will carry their beers and it can act as a gateway beer into the craft beer scene. This means this industry can grow while the generic beer market will shrink. Overall, I think that's better.
iLoveTurtlesHaha Actually they just end up stifleing competition from smaller breweries.
Dave Nugen but Ballast Point beers are the fucking shit.
Why must I be at work watching this? GAHD I want a beer! haha
The beer is indeed called Budvar in the Czech Republic, but the location it is originally brewed in is called Budějovice (Budweis).
