I Am A Craft Brewer

April 23, 2009 By Jay Brooks

Well, not me personally, obviously, I’m just a writer and supporter of craft beer. But that’s the name of the very cool video created by Greg Koch, co-founder of Stone Brewing, which he used for the Keynote Speech at the Craft Brewers Conference yesterday morning. This shows the best in craft beer and why I love and support it so readily. Enjoy.

Here’s how Greg himself describes the effort:

“I Am A Craft Brewer” is a collaborative video representing the camaraderie, character and integrity of the American Craft Brewing movement. Created by Greg Koch, CEO of the Stone Brewing Co. and Chris & Jared of Redtail Media…and more than 35 amazing craft brewers from all over the country. The video was shown to a packed audience of 1700 craft brewers and industry members at the 2009 Craft Brewers Conference as an introduction to Greg’s Keynote Speech entitled “Be Remarkable: Collaboration Ethics Camaraderie Passion.” As is tradition for the CBC Keynote, a toast to the audience was offered. This time, the beers offered for the toast were all collaboratively brewed craft beers including Isabella Proximus, Collaboration Not Litigation, AleSmith/Mikkeller/Stone Belgian Style Triple, Jolly Pumpkin/Nøgne-Ø/Stone Special Holiday Ale, and 2009 Symposium Ale “Audacity of Hops.”

    I love that attitude. I am an aspiring future brewer but I always want to be a craft brewer.

    By the way, that Sigur Ros song in the background is cool. I’m gonna listen to that album “Takk” and drink a brew

    That is an awesome video. The Brewers Association should find a way get THAT message out. As Cab Calloway said; ” boys, it’s time to get word out into the streets!”

    Great video, made me feel good. I agree with Michael, love the background song, “Hoppipola”. Sigur Ros is my favorite band. Wonder what the craft beer scene in Iceland is…
