Hart & Thistle to Show Beer Wars Movie

Greg Nash sent me an email the other day about something he has been planning for a while now - being the first Canadian establishment to offer customers the chance to view Beer Wars . It will be Canada's first screening of the movie, which received a good amount of press in the US months ago.

On Saturday September 26th, at 8:00pm, Nash and the Hart & Thistle (Halifax) staff will be hosting that screening in the Dunnottar Room. Tickets only cost $20, which gets you an abundance of popcorn, nacho chips and salsa, and one Hart & Thistle beer. Tickets can be purchased via PayPal through Nash's personal blog where you can also read about other happenings at the Hart & Thistle.

The Movie:
With some of the biggest names in the craft brewing industry appearing in the film, it is a must see. You'll see interviews and hear opinions from the likes of Charlie Papazian, Sam Calagione, Greg Koch, Jim Koch, Todd Alstrom, Michael Jackson, Kim Jordan and Garrett Oliver to name a few. You'll learn how some of the massive conglomerate powerhouse brewers attempt to crush craft brewers to keep North Americans drinking their mainstream, bland corn and rice beers.
