    We're Back! Welcome to season 2 of The Movie Brewer Podcast. We're starting this season off with 12 Monkeys. Directed by Terry Gilliam in 1995 and loosely based off the 1962 French Film La Jetée 12 Monkeys is a whirlwind of time travel and psychosis. With the impending doom of humanity from a deadly virus James Cole is sent back in time to try and find the mysterious Army of the Twelve Monkeys. Giving us a film that at first glance may seem straight forward, but there is more going on here than you might thing. Our beer to pair is Golden Monkey from Victory Brewing. A hard 9.5abv Belgian Tripel Ale with some fruity notes you might not expect from a tripel, and all the alcohol burn you do expect. The Movie Brewer podcast is hosted by me, Andrew Scott Willis!

  3. Face/Off and The Perfect Disguise

    2020-06-11

    Face/Off and The Perfect Disguise

    A movie that takes its absurdity very seriously, John Woo’s Face/Off is packed to the brim with huge set pieces, crazy situations, and Nicolas Cage and John Travolta at their 90’s peak. Woo brilliantly balances a high wire act of over the top performances, and shockingly bizarre plot lines to somehow deliver a gripping action movie that demands your attention from the very beginning, and never lets it go. Our beer to match is The Perfect Disguise by Dogfishhead Brewing. A double IPA that smells and tastes like one might expect a Kölsch to smell and taste. It’s subtle and malt forward, leaving a nice feel in your mouth after a long sip. Easy to drink. So much so that you’ll need to keep reminding yourself of its 8% ABV.

  4. Baby Driver and Wheels Gose 'Round

    2020-05-14

    Baby Driver and Wheels Gose 'Round

    Our movie this week is Baby Driver. A musical that can’t be considered a musical, Baby Driver is Edgar Wright on the top of his game. With a story that’s been brewing in his head since the mid-nineties, Wright gives us a technical triumph full of unique and engaging characters. You can’t help but engage with Baby and his perfect song for every occasion, and will find yourself whistling the soundtrack for days after. The beer to pair is Wheels Gose Round A very raspberry forward gose that sips light and easy, Wheels Gose ‘Round is a delicate sour that pours pink with a small head and a potent aroma. It drinks with a biting carbonation, but has a subtle sourness and a quiet saltiness that a lot of gose’s miss. Overall a great gose with a great cause behind it.

  5. Almost Famous and Demo Tape

    2020-04-30

    Almost Famous and Demo Tape

    This weeks film is Almost Famous. In one of the great homages to rock and roll, Cameron Crowe’s love letter to music offers an authenticity in performance and atmosphere that makes a fitting tribute to an era that is so rarely portrayed with love. As you watch the Stillwater find its way through the industry, and you watch William Miller find his way through life by watching them, it’s hard to believe that this wasn’t an actual band that existed in the 1970’s. Crowe’s experience brings the film to a level that would be unattainable by another director. Our companion beer is Exhibit A’s Demo Tape: West Coast Style DDH Double IPA. A lovely hop forward IPA that highlights the hops without letting them become too complex or overwhelming. A soothing amber color with just a little bit of head, this beer offers a lovely taste and mouth feel that doesn’t give away it’s ABV level, and leaves you wanting a B-Side to this Demo.

  6. Caddyshack and Total Conciousness

    2020-04-16

    Caddyshack and Total Conciousness

    Today's film is the classic comedy Caddyshack. One of the greatest comedies of all time, it unites powerhouse comedians Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray in a screwball comedy with some of the most quotable films of all time. Our beer to match is Total Conciousness. Part of the Lovejoy Wharf series at Night Shift Brewing. Simultaneously fruity and bitter, but a solid balance between the two, this beer drinks light and easy. Something you can truly hope you will receive on your death bed.

  7. Arrival and Orbital Elevator

    2020-04-02

    Arrival and Orbital Elevator

    This week's film is Denis Villenueve’s Arrival. A film that is simultaneously emotional and scientific. The whole film exists in this state of dueling mentalities, but Amy Adams' stoic and heartfelt performance grounds us in the story of a loving mother, even as things grow more and more unstable. A science fiction film for people who don’t usually like science fiction, there is an eerie semblance of reality in a world that is far beyond the normal. Our beer to match is Orbital Elevator. A delcious subtle double IPA with a light pour, a potent aroma, and a sharp, but easy to drink bite to it. One of the best Double IPA’s I’ve had in a long time.

  8. A Quiet Place and Tread Lightly Ale

    2020-03-19

    A Quiet Place and Tread Lightly Ale

    This weeks film is 2018's A Quiet Place. Directed by and starring John Krasinski. A Quiet Place is one of those rare horror films that manages to sustain it’s uncomfortable atmosphere and threat of impending doom, and still make you care about it’s characters. The connection Krasinski is able to forge between the family and the audience is impressive, especially considering the near complete lack of dialogue. I didn’t dare exhale, lest the monsters should descend on the family. We’re pairing it with Tread Lightly Ale, a very lite crisp ale with delicate hints of citrus. Pours crystal clear with about a two finger head. Aroma is subtle, taste is subdued. I am ill experienced with “crafted to reduce gluten” beers, and I assume flavor is reflective of that. Overall light and sippable. Would probably enjoy it while hiking. The Movie Brewer podcast is hosted by me, Andrew Scott Willis! If you enjoyed the episode please leave a rating and or review.
