It's pretty amazing to take a risk to create something great, and to share that creation with a lot of people. The craft breweries around San Diego have done that with their beers, and filmmaker Anat Baron has done that by making a movie about the beer industry and how craft brewing is seriously shaking things up.

We're having a special showing of the movie, Beer Wars, followed by a Q&A with Anat Baron, Chuck Silva of Green Flash Brewing, Jim Crute of Lightning Brewery and potentially other craft brewers. This is a unique opportunity to see the first screening of this film in the city of San Diego. Anat's background, skill, and personality were able to get people to open up during interviews and tell it like it really is. From the annual beer industry convention in Las Vegas to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, this gives you a larger perspective on what happens in San Diego every day. Plus, our own Greg Koch of Stone Brew has some hilarious clips in the film that you won't want to miss! And if that's not enough, we'll also be showing a short DVD that Greg shot at the original airing in Los Angeles when the live panel discussion was filmed.

How to see the movie

The screening is limited to 50 people and will take place on the first Sunday of San Diego Beer Week, November 8th at noon at Sea Rocket. The cost will be $10. Come as early as 11am or stay late to enjoy some beer and lunch including lamburgers, tuna melts, or mushroom sandwiches.

Email your name and phone number to dennis@searocketbistro.com to RSVP. Someone from the restaurant will call you back and charge your card to reserve your spot. No refunds will be given if you can't come, so only RSVP if you're sure you can make it. RSVP soon before this event sells out!

If you can't come on the 8th, we'll be hosting additional evening screenings of the movie over the rest of the week accompanied by our Beer Week Prix Fixe Menu, but without the Q&A session. See what else we have going on during Beer Week here!
