The world rightly thinks of America as the land of brainless Hollywood movies, inedible McDonald's cuisine and watery Budweiser beer � but there's another side to us as a people, and that's what this film captures beautifully. While three corporations dominate 80 percent of the national palate, the country is also full of small groups of independent brewers pursuing dreams. Call them visionaries, eccentrics or just bravado-filled drunkards, but these are the people who really embody the American spirit, making quality, innovative products because they love doing it. Five friends from New York set out with a van and a camera on a dream road trip � a 40-day, 38-brewery quest to find, and liberally sample, some of the most interesting craft beers and microbrews in the country. There's quite a bit of good humor in the film, as you might expect from a movie about beer and the people who glug it for a living, plus bits of local lore and unexpected history. And there's also the joy of seeing real American characters living out the ideals that we unthinkingly refer to as the American dream. You could make the same kind of movie about artists, poets, collectors, communes or the slow-food movement � but of course it would be missing one key ingredient. Because not least among its virtues, the film has an undeniable beer-porn quality. No matter how deeply you may love the familiar old beer that's in your own fridge, you'll still find yourself lusting after some of the hot, sexy, young brews on naked display in AMERICAN BEER. These are truly pints to pant over, and we�ll have them for you at the theater, brought right out to your table!

If you can't have real live beer, she'll pour you a virtual one. Try ordering a Jedi...
