Beer Yall
A film by Curt Arledge

(scheduled for Thursday June 17th 2010)

In July 2008, seven friends piled into a seatless cargo van and embarked on cross country tour of 27 microbreweries throughout  North Carolina from Murphy to Manteo.     Beer Y'all follows their nine days of hanging out with brewers, playing rock shows, and drinking many, many beers as they celebrate friendship, music, and a Southern microbrewing explosion.

Brilliantly, Beer Ya’ll provides a cultured, intimate view of the emerging craft brewing scene in the Old North State, all the while providing colorful tunes and hilarious commentary.

Brothers Curt and Will Arledge intermix the sophisticated elements of modern craft brewery with rock and roll, modern folk, Bluegrass, and other styles of music all performed by musicians indigenous to the state of NC.  

According to Arledge, they ended up with over 80 hours of footage and a few hangovers along the way, but he assures folks that they always had a designated driver.

North Carolina is becoming a hub for craft breweries, and the microbrewery phenomenon is especially prevalent in Asheville NC and the surrounding ares.   Beer Y'all illustrate this eloquently through a variety of interviews with, arguably, some of the most cultured members of the “alcohol elite” in operation today.


Beer Y'all is  "a mash-up of three of my favoritethings: craft beer, original music, and entrepreneurial righteousness." -  SamCalagione of Dogfish Head
