Here is the open to Rivers if Beer. The film looks at the history of and what it takes to be a lambic, the oldest style of beer commercially available in the world.

Rivers of Beer was my first opportunity to combine beer and television/film. We developed a pitch for a tv series that would take viewers around the country and world to look at beer and its impact on global culture. The plan was to put together two pilots, one an American story, the other international. 

In the end, as often happens, the series was not picked up. This left me with a lot of great footage, including an interview with legendary beer writer Michael Jackson, and nowhere to show it. The decision was made to supplement that footage with some newly shot stuff and turn it into a feature length documentary on lambics. Rivers of Beer would go on to win a 2010 Telly Award.

Sadly, the high-definition master was accidentally destroyed, hopefully we will be able to retrive it one day.
