Barley & Me

In this episode of Barley & Me Presents: Leonard Malting, host Ben Rice and the crew (Paulina Olivares of the Sacramento Pink Boots Society and Corky McDonnell of the Dare Daniel Podast) discuss and review the new beer documentary, BEER: A LOVE STORY, with surprise guest, director Friedrich "Fritz" Moser. Fritz is known for his more investigative political documentaries, but decides to pursue a shared passion and a story not often told: Beer. From its humble beginnings to its current creative passions, with a keen eye for detail and loveable characters. We discuss how he found the key players, built the story, and what separates beer from most other social beverages. From Urbiers to hazy IPAs, from hop shortages to triumph, this is a truly loving look at one of the few things still keeping this world sane. Find Beer: A Love Story, on Untappd through February 28, or at beermovie.org. Cheers!If you have a beer-centric or heavily-beer-involved movie recommendation, let us know and maybe we’ll do this again!F
