American Beer is a 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. Paul and his crew of four left New York City and traveled by minivan across the United States visiting 38 craft and independent breweries in 40 days.
Breweries they visited which are featured in the film include Dogfish Head, Victory Brewing, McNeill's Brewery, Climax Brewing, Sierra Nevada Brewing, Anchor Brewing, New Glarus Brewing, New Belgium Brewing, Bell's Brewery and others.
The film screened at various film festivals throughout 2004 and 2005 and was released on DVD towards the end of 2005. A special edition of the DVD was released shortly afterwards which contains more than 80 minutes of deleted scenes from breweries in the film and others which had been deleted from the original cut.
