Netflix Minute is a weekly feature highlighting a title from Netflix's catalog of instant view films. If you want to spend a night snuggled up with a bag of popcorn and don't want to drive to the video store, this is for you.
Documentaries are a bit of a wild card, as far as my cinematic tastes are concerned. Their success hinges on the viewer’s ability to grip onto the raw facts tossed at them and the desire to invest in the narrative structure that the director hopefully tries to build. In the case of Beer Wars, I had both.
Beer is clearly a supporting pillar to American culture as we know it, which is made quite evident by the massive profits of companies like Anheuser-Busch. However, a recent trend begs the question of whether or not we as a people want to endorse these corporations or rather support local breweries and smaller companies who cater to more specific tastes.
