Labor Day

In honor of the laborer this Labor Day weekend we are paying tribute to you. We have stepped back from giving our opinion to letting the movies decide for us.  When the grill cools down and the tiki torches burn out and it's time to kick your feet up but don't want the festivities of the long holiday weekend to end then look no further we have selected a few movies that salute the blue collar worker. Each of our selections lend each of it's own ideas of which beer should be ingested. First is a classic film all unto itself Cool Hand Luke (1967) starring Paul Newman in one of his best roles and George Kennedy. Lucas Jackson finds himself with a prison sentence after being busted drunkingly cutting the heads off of parking meters. He is sentenced to 2 years in a prison work camp in Florida. Being the 1960's this film has cool written all over it literally....well only once however it continues to deliver the cool beyond just the title opening. Continue your cool with one of the more popular beers of the 1960's. Drink the same beer that possibily got Lucas into the bind he is in. Beers finding themselves popular during this time were Hamm's and the always classic Pabst Blue Ribbon. Not your glass of beer then check out our final selection Caddyshack (1980) starring Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray as the always loveable Carl Spackler. Though the story follows a young caddy played by Michael O'Keefe as he attempts to gain a scholarship from the country club where he is employed. The true heart and humor of the story follows the groundskeepers assistant Carl played by Murray as he is entrusted with ridding the course of their gopher problems. The 1980's had one true beer that stood higher than it's competitors and even finds it's way into the film. Grab a Budweiser before sitting back to watch Carl wage war on his underground enemy. This has been a Cinema Breview. Drink safe watch happy.

Welcome One and All

Welcome Everyone to the revolution that is Cinema Brew. Here at Cinema Brew we are bringing two passions together...film and beer. Who amongst us hasn't sat back to watch our favorite movie and thought to ourselves, "Wow this movie is great but it would that much better with my favorite brew." That's where we come in, just like a wine paired to a fine meal there is a perfect beer for every flick ever made. We may not talk about beer or film together all the time, we might give you a great beer to accompany an action film.  We might review or recommend a film with the hopes you will match it yourself and let us know what it's all about. But we promise that just like a great couple they may not always be holding hands but they are still together. So if you have a movie-drinking habit or a beer-watching problem, then Cinema Brew is for YOU.
