10With Podcast: Anat Baron, "Beer Wars" (Pt 2)

2010_10_01beerwarsmovie.jpg When Anat Baron released "Beer Wars," her self-produced film about the inequalities of the beer trade in America, did she have any idea she was on the bleeding edge of a craft beer renaissance? Baron was in town for the Chicago Food Film Fest past weekend, and the Chicagoist Podcast Series coralled her away from the Beer Guy Army and other scenesters

Did anyone guess right during the epic macrobrew taste test? Was there more Baron wanted to squeeze in about the three-tier system and the politics in the beer industry, or was it just a little to wonky to get across in a 90 minute doc? And was InBev's decision to purchase Budweiser a wise one, in the long run? We get to the bottom of these questions and more in this 10With (and then some).

To listen, just press play: Anat Baron, "Beer Wars"
