DIRECTOR(S): Chip Hiden, Alexis Irvin
GENRE: Documentary Film
SYNOPSIS: This documentary exploring the explosive growth of the craft beer industry and the struggles of two start-up breweries. Inspired by America’s artisanal food and drink revolution, over 1,000 entrepreneurs plan to open breweries this coming year. However, many industry experts predict that a craft beer ‘bubble’ burst is imminent. Can every new brewery succeed? Or, will tight margins, a crowded marketplace, and limited shelf space force some newcomers to go belly-up? This isn’t just a movie about beer – it’s a movie about the American dream, and the entrepreneur’s journey from blueprint to brewery.
