The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This movie follows two small breweries: one facing a lawsuit and one just starting up. It's a great watch if you're into the craft beer scene. It's especially relevant if you've ever thought (or dreamed) about opening a brewery, or just wondered about what all might be behind opening one. The plights of these two breweries give viewers an in-depth look into two of the many issues than can arise. The filmmakers have also added some interesting interviews with some really well-known names within the industry. The interviews add some nice tidbits of craft beer knowledge. There are also some beautiful camera shots. Craft beer lovers, we have our movie.

I absolutely loved this documentary. It provides a fascinating primer on the craft beer industry and while following the lives of several young brewers who are bold/brave/stupid enough to follow their dreams against the odds. If you're even a tiny bit interested in beer, this is the movie for you. If you like feel-good uplifting documentaries, this is the movie for you. If you're that other reviewer "haggis" who really loves macro breweries and is easily offended, you should pick up yoga or marijuana or something because you seem disproportionately upset after watching a 71 minute documentary. Anyways, I can't recommend this highly enough. Check it out!

Blood, Sweat & Beer is a top-notch documentary that follows the story of entrepreneurs fulfilling the American Dream. From the first minute, the film pulls at your heartstrings and you are invested in the success of the two breweries. As a millennial, the story of The Gentleman Beer Co. is particularly inspiring as it shows how hard work and an idea can revitalize a town. And, you can't help but cheer for the hometown Ocean City Brewery to get a win! The story of both breweries and the struggles they had to overcome is what makes this documentary so relevant. Overall, this documentary is a 10 out of 10. Chip and Alexis are truly talented and have a gift for storytelling. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

This documentary depicts a single point of view production aimed toward the craft brewing market. In my opinion it is unfair, and inaccurate in the portrayal of the macro brewer. Leaving the viewer a bad taste in their mouth in regard to the macro brewery. There was an awful lot of whining leaving you to wonder why they are in the business at all. While I appreciated the story of the 3 young men in Pennsylvania, I am at a loss as to why they mentioned their brewer was an ex Anheuser Busch intern. I went into the viewing of this film expecting stories about start up of a micro breweries but instead I learned about the long drawn out details of one poorly prepared man's legal troubles and the aim to revive a town. Oh and lets not forget how wonderful Colorado and it's microbreweries are. I know nothing more now about start up of a micro brewery than I did prior to seeing this film. Overall not as advertised. But if you hate macro breweries you will love it!
