I Am A Craft Brewer

"I Am A Craft Brewer" is a collaborative video representing the camaraderie, character and integrity of the American Craft Brewing movement. Created by Greg Koch, CEO of the Stone Brewing Co. and Chris & Jared of Redtail Media...and more than 35 amazing craft brewers from all over the country. The video was shown to a packed audience of 1700 craft brewers and industry members at the 2009 Craft Brewers Conference as an introduction to Greg's Keynote Speech entitled "Be Remarkable: Collaboration Ethics Camaraderie Passion." As is tradition for the CBC Keynote, a toast to the audience was offered. This time, the beers offered for the toast were all collaboratively brewed craft beers including Isabella Proximus, Collaboration Not Litigation, AleSmith/Mikkeller/Stone Belgian Style Triple, Jolly Pumpkin/Nøgne-Ø/Stone Special Holiday Ale, and 2009 Symposium Ale "Audacity of Hops."

A re-cut version will be posted as soon as possible, and a program is in development to include even more of America's amazing craft brewers. Please stay tuned!

SO many amazing things about this video... I can't stop watching it.

"Snake oil salesmen."

"I totally helped brew one of these beers."

"We don't chase after trends, we create them!"

"I don't put corn in my beer."

The Chinua Achebe quote

The dude with the long hair just being a badass

And not to mention the song, Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla... my favorite song of all time.

ARROGANT BASTARDS FOR LIFE!!!

The multi media mass marketed mass indocrinated masses are so mass mind manipulated by the lipsmackin' popsi 'beer' producers, that the only mass debate they have over their sup, is do the ad-men tell them to like C, D, or DD cups.

Be the shepherd, and NOT the sheep.

Put down your tasteless ricecorn popsi mclager. Lean out of your window and scream,

I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GONNA DRINK THIS ANYMORE!!!

Say it loud,

Say it proud.

I'm a craft beer drinker.

I AM A CRAFT BEER DRINKER!!

To the people who made negative comments about this video: If you don't like craft beer, then drink your weak mass-produced beers and stop bashing our great craft beers.  Cheers!

All you fuckheads who throw shit at this video, you do it because you guys dont have a true passion! Find a true passion and you'll understand the video!

You know whats funny? I look at the Youtube homepage: and one of the videos it recommended was some video called "Douche Olympics" and it said "because you watched "I Am a Craft Brewer"...that is some funny stuff.

I'm in college to be a brewmaster, and I really like craft beer, but I really can't stand the ridiculous political direction that a lot of people in the business are going. The big 3 are big for a reason. They deliver consistent products at an affordable price. Craft beer tastes a lot better for sure, but it is the job of businessmen to COMPETE in the marketplace not COMPLAIN about the competition. Stop mudslinging at the big 3 and start competing with them on their own terms.

Congrats, I think you fucks look like a bunch of pretentious arrogant d-bags more than "dirtybax" ever has. Your goddamn right I'll keep drinking that "Big 3" or whatever the hell you call it. Sorry, we aren't all white liberal yuppie fucks like yourself. Keep drinking your overpriced piss water, that shit you buy at the Whole Foods store.
