BEERFEST w/ German Vs. American Beer Flight!

Rated R; 110min; Director:Jay Chandrasekhar

When brothers Todd and Jan Wolfhouse travel to Germany to spread their grandfather's ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a centuries old underground beer games competition -- "Beerfest," the secret Olympics of beer drinking. The brothers receive a less than warm welcome from their German cousins, the Von Wolfhausens, who humiliate them, slander their relatives, and finally cast them out of the event. Vowing to return to defend their country and family's honor, the Wolfhouse boys assemble a ragtag dream team of beer drinkers and gamers to return and restore the honor of their once-proud suds-guzzling name. This event will be the Germans vs. Americans Beer Showdown! A showdown of different brewing traditions. The Germans with their long brewing methods, brewing purity laws, and lederhosen, face off against the Americans, with their flagrant use of hops, innovative brewing techniques, and nouveaux interpretations of classic beers. The beer flight will consist of six classic German beers paired against six American craft beer reinterpretations.

The winner of the pre-movie beerfest competition will win this authentic glass 2 liter beer boot, just like the ones in the movie!

Presented in celebration of The Brewers Association Craft Brewers Conference.
