Beer has been a marvel of humanity since ancient Egypt of before. Tom Robbins has been a marvel of literature since the early 1980s. In 2009, these two marvels met in prose with Robbins' new book, B IS FOR BEER. Billed as "A children's book for grown-ups and a grown-up book for children," Robbins uses his memorable syntactic style to honor his favorite beverage. B IS FOR BEER, the book describes the introduction of the frothy wonder to six-year old Gracie Perkel. B IS FOR BEER, the movie uses Robbins' words to describe the process of beer making. Actors play the parts of Gracie, the Beer Fairy and the narrator (in voice only) while the viewer is treated to a frosty mug of visuals including the actual beer making process (filmed at Hunter Gatherer) as well as abstract and archival images of hops, barley, worts, kegs, bottles and cans. And of course, I concentrate my camera towards the pouring, drinking, toasting, spilling and the general aesthetic pleasures of beer itself, in as many of its delightfully diverse forms.
