10With: Anat Baron, "Beer Wars" (Pt 1)

By Karl Klockars in Food on Sep 30, 2010 3:00PM

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 this weekend, and the Chicagoist Podcast Series coralled her away from the bearded, flannel-clad bears of Beerdom for a bit to talk about her film.

What's happened in the past two years since InBev took over Budweiser and Miller joined up, Voltron style, with Coors? How much has changed in the industry since she wrapped her film? What was the real ratio of swill-beer ignorance in the taste test portion of the movie? And will there be a "Beer Wars 2: Craft Brewers Strike Back?" 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"
