At the suggestion of my neighbor Shawn, I watched a movie called Beer Wars the other night. It's a very well made documentary about the watering down of beer by the big three national brewery, Coors, Miller and Anheiser Busch. It's a sad tale of how the big guys are doing everything they can to eliminate the competition of small breweries and micro breweries.
One the bright side, the little guys (Dogfish Head is featured prominently) are still growing despite the crowding out of them on the supermarket shelves by the big guys. We as beer drinkers must do our part to help these small businesses survive. That is why I think we should start thinking about another BrokeBack Brewery Tour for this fall. Who's with me?
I'm you need to get your blood boiling for this challenge, watch the movie. It's available on www.hulu.com with a few commercial interruptions but thankfully none of them are for Bud, Millers or Coors.
