For millennia, beer has been a favorite beverage in cultures across the globe. After water and tea, it is the most popular drink in the world, and it is at the center of a $450 billion industry.

If you've ever been to a specialty beer store, the variety can seem infinite, but there are really just two main varieties -- lager and ale. With everyone from home enthusiasts to industry giants continuing to push the limits of flavour development and production technology, beer is more than just a refreshing beverage. It's the world's greatest science project.

American Beer is a 2003 feature-length documentary directed by Paul Kermizian that chronicles and documents the American craft brewing industry.
The film was shot in the spring of 2002. Kermizian and a group of four left New York City and traveled by minivan across the United States visiting 38 craft and independent breweries in 40 days.
Follows their journey as they tour breweries and brewpubs, interview leaders of the craft brewing industry, taste beer, get drunk, get lost, get speeding tickets, get poison oak, check into hotels, check out of hotels, argue, bicker, fight, and generally lose their minds. They defy the limits of the human body (and mind) by drinking beer for 40 straight days while travelling over 10,000 miles. Thankfully, it was all very good beer.
