O.o.m.A.: “Beer Wars”
To Germans the mere iota of a scintilla of a fraction of the suggestion of enjoying American beer is totally laughable. Like butter-flavored salt or the expression “ttym”. Here in Bavaria, the holy trinity of Coors, Miller and Budweiser are considered novelty beverages or lemonade. Germans take exorbitant pride in their beer and anyone who’s ever been to the Oktoberfest, well if they remember then they weren’t really there, were they?
In the States I was often asked whether it is true that Germans drink their beer “warm”. I considered this a peculiar question and when I dug deeper I found out that “warm” meant “without ice cubes”. Oh, the horror! Like Mariah Carey in “Glitter” spread on Haggis.
From this side of the pond this documentary “Beerwars” looks as funny as Americans trying to pronounce “Löwenbräu”. If it is actually shown here, it will probably be labeled as a comedy. We love it! Prost!

It’s a rare thing, to read a movie review and know, for a fact, if you’re gonna like this movie or not. Movies have existed for over a century now, and with all the changes in techniques and styles, older movies have become irrelevant as a reference for the modern public. Movie critics have become overzealous of their knowledge in cinematic history and forgotten the fact that most people watch movies just to have a good time.
