Beer In Film #37: Food Tech — Hot Dogs & Beer

February 6, 2014 By Jay Brooks

brookston-film
Today’s beer video is an episode of Food Tech, which used to be aired on the History Channel, focusing on Ballpark food and beverages, specially beer. This was the last episode of ten total shows, and although it was called “Ball park,” it featured segments about “Kegs, Hops, Beer, Hot dogs, Casings (sausage), Mustard, Cracker Jack and Drumsticks,” the ice cream. Who’s hungry now?

Beer In Film #26: The Streets Of San Francisco

January 26, 2014 By Jay Brooks

brookston-film
Today’s beer video is, of all things, an episode of an old television show, The Streets of San Francisco, which was on the air for five seasons, from 1972 to 1977. Tonight’s shows, as always “a Quinn-Martin Production,” was from the last season — Season 5, Episode 20 — and is entitled “Dead Lift.” During its run, many guests stars appeared on the show, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, who’s in tonight’s episode, playing a body builder whose bad temper leads to …. wait for it murder. But he’s not the reason I posted it. What’s cool about this episode is that Schwarzenegger’s character, Josef Schmidt, works at Anchor Brewery, and the brewery can be seen in one of the scenes. At 9:43 we see a close-up of the bottling line, which pulls back to a wider shot where we see Schwarzenegger walking through the brewery with a keg on his shoulder. But after being told he’s working too hard, he goes a little crazy and starts throwing kegs around, and they fire him. Unfortunately, that’s the only scene in the brewery, and there’s no Michael Douglas either, as this was near the end of the show’s run and he’d already left for greener pastures.

Beer Film #18: The World In A Glass

January 18, 2014 By Jay Brooks

brookston-film
Today’s beer video originally aired on the History Channel, and appears to be part of a series, although I confess I don’t remember it at all. This episode of World in a Glass tackles beer. I’m not sure when it was produced, but it was long enough ago that Don Barkley was still working for Mendocino Brewing. It’s in English, although it’s subtitled throughout in, what is that: Greek? Enjoy.

Fantastical Fictive Beer

October 22, 2013 By Jay Brooks

Today’s infographic is a cool new poster from Pop Chart Labs. This one, entitled Fantastical Fictive Beer, shows 71 beers used in various fictional setting: movies, television, etc. I don’t know if they used a post I did a few years ago, Fictional Beer Brands in their research, but our lists are pretty similar. It’s a pretty cool poster.
