Friday freebies: Beer Wars

Posted by Siel in freebies (Friday January 8, 2010 at 7:03 pm)

A twice-weekly sharing of eco-shwag.

Today’s freebie is a once-watched DVD of Beer Wars, a documentary that covers the fight between independent brewers and the big corporate players.

As I wrote in my review, “Beer Wars reveals just how big the big players are for those who didn’t give their favorite brew a second thought: 1 of 2 beers sold in the U.S. are from Anheuser-Busch, and of the remaining 50% of the market, Miller takes 18%, Coors, 11%. Since Miller and Coors have now joined forces and Anhauser-Busch sold out to InBev, the corporations have gotten even bigger.”

Read my review of Beer Wars to find out more about the film, then comment by Thursday to get into the drawing, which’ll happen Friday (more info on freebies here). US addresses only.

  1. I’m interested! Not a big beer drinker personally, but would be nice to see what really happens when I do choose the brew.

  4. oh, that sounds great! my boyfriend is a big beer drinker, and we’ve been trying hard to buy craft and local brews as much as possible. He’s even started brewing his own beer!

  5. Definitely interested. My boyfriend is a home brewer and this would be a great gift for his upcoming birthday.

  7. I’m totally interested! I am a big beer drinker, and totally a fan of local craft brews. (Every where I go I make it a point to seek about the local Breweries.)

    I was going to see this when it showed at a local art house recently…but something came up and prevented me from doing so…so I’d love a chance to win it!
