Ok, so Brad and I....we missed our trip to Portland.  Again, we didn't make it to the Pacific Northwest to experience the greatness of the Oregon Brewers Festival .  We will make it someday, Portland.

BUT, that doesn't mean that just because we're from Chicago, we don't pay attention to what's going on in the beer scene in the western part of our country.   After hearing her interview on Beer O'Clock, I had to jump on the net and check out what Alison Grayson was telling the host Lisa Morrison.  Alison was telling her about the documentary she is currently working on.

Grayson moved from the East Coast to Portland, OR and discovered something.  The Portland beer community.  She instantly fell in love with it.  She later noticed something.  She wasn't the only woman drinking great craft beer when attending beer events and going out.  There were a lot of women who loved great beer.  Yet, within the brewing industry, it is a world greatly dominated by men.  

"For The Love of Beer" is a documentary that Alison decided to film.  It is a celebration and a look into the world of the women in the beer industry.  Following some of the most influencial and inspiring women of the beer world, Grayson gets into their lives to show their passion for beer as well as the personal side of why they do what they do.

I'm a sucker for most movies about beer.  But this one in particular caught my attention and I really want to see this project completed.  If you're passionate for great craft beer and the beer community itself, then check out the video for information on how you can help support the making of this movie .  No matter how small, any contribution you can spare will help Alison Grayson release this film!  So donate what you can, spread the word of the film, and raise a glass For The Love Of Beer !!!

Cheers!
