In America, size matters. The bigger you are, the more power you have, especially in the business world.
Director Anat Baron takes you on a no holds barred exploration of the U.S. beer industry that ultimately reveals the truth behind the label of your favorite beer. Told from an insider’s perspective, the film goes behind the scenes of the daily battles and all out wars that dominate one of America’s favorite industries.
Beer Wars begins as the corporate behemoths are being challenged by small, independent brewers who are shunning the status quo and creating innovative new beers. The story is told through 2 of these entrepreneurs - Sam and Rhonda - battling the might and tactics of Corporate America. We witness their struggle to achieve their American Dream in an industry dominated by powerful corporations unwilling to cede an inch.
This contemporary David and Goliath story is ultimately about keeping your integrity (and your family’s home) in the face of temptation. Beer Wars is a revealing and entertaining journey that provides unexpected and surprising turns and promises to change the world’s opinion on those infamous 99 bottles of beer on the wall.
Conceptualized in the spring of 2008, Syracuse Beer Week will be born on Sunday, November 2, 2008. Through the collaboration of dozens of world class brewers from around the globe and several exceptional beer bars, restaurants, and local retailers, GreatBrewers.com will present a series of events targeted at enhancing beer knowledge and appreciation in the Syracuse area, while encouraging tourism in the Central New York market.
The inaugural Syracuse Beer Week is sure to be a fun-filled event for everyone involved. While the planning committee has put in considerable time in shaping this event, we invite you to share your comments, suggestions, and feedback on our blog.

If you want to live a long and healthy life, you're probably trying to eat right, exercise regularly and get enough sleep. Good steps. Now how about adding a little alcohol to your regimen?
That's right. It is well documented that tossing a few drinks back in a week (and that means a few: up to one a day for women, up to two for men) has potential heart benefits. But researchers in Denmark decided to look further. Could drinking alcohol have a benefit similar to that of exercise?

7. Yelling out a song request. Sorry, but the lead singer is only paying attention to the braless blonde in the front row. Channel all that energy into clapping, Casey Kasem.
10. Talking between bathroom stalls. No matter is so pressing that it needs to be discussed with your pants down.
