Beer Connects Communities and So Too Will BEER! A Love Story Feature Documentary
New Indie #BeerMovie Features Small Craft Brewers’ Challenges and the Art of Brewing and Homebrewing
LYONS, COLORADO— HerzMuses Enterprises presents the global digital premiere of BEER! A Love Story, a Blue + Green Communication and Storyhouse production. This independently funded, 4K full-length feature documentary debuts today through an exclusive partnership with Untappd through February 28.
BEER! A Love Story was produced by Director Friedrich Moser and Maarten Schmidt. Moser, who directed the Oliver Stone-backed A Good American among many other documentary films, now brings his filmmaking prowess to featuring craft beer. This film weaves together the stories of 30 international protagonists across multiple countries who speak the universal language of beer, the world’s most consumed fermented beverage.
“We wanted this film to bridge the gap between Europe and America, and to show the panorama of beer styles now replicated across the globe,” Moser says. “For any foodie, movie buff, and beer or beverage fan this is a must-watch film.”
In BEER! A Love Story, Moser profiles a cast of U.S.-based craft beer personalities including Peter Bouckaert, Steve Hindy, Julia Herz, Greg Engert, European namesakes such as Rodenbach, Orval and Stiegl, and small, breakout brewers like Bierol in Austria and Cloudwater in Manchester, UK.
From January 21 through February 28, Untappd users can exclusively rent and download the film. “We are thrilled to play a part in bringing this film to our global community of beer lovers”, said Trace Smith, CEO of Next Glass, parent company of Untappd. “Untappd has always been about beer bringing people together, and that theme is at the heart of this film.”

Endo will have bike contest, live music, and five special different barrel-aged beers.
LAFAYETTE, CO — Endo Brewing Company is excited to celebrate two years in business with an epic birthday bash on Saturday, September 28 from 12 p.m. - 10 p.m. at their tasting room (2755 Dagny Way Ste. 101, Lafayette, CO 80026).
“I feel incredibly fortunate that I could leave the corporate world and open a successful business in this wonderful community,” says Bob Lichens, co-founder of Endo Brewing. “The people I've met along the way, whether they are neighbors, tasting room regulars, travelers from Sweden, Costa Rica, and other parts of the world, have really made this whole experience worthwhile.”
Enjoy the musical stylings from SoundClub Colorado, and live music by Lady Gang. True to Endo form, the brewery will host bike-centered contests such as a Slowest Bike Race and a Shine and Show Bike event, where top honors will go to the most unique bikes. Mac ‘N Noodles and Hangry Hut will be on-site serving up delicious eats. To commemorate their two-year mark, Endo Brewing will release five different barrel-aged beers, including 2018 and 2019 variants of No Quarter, a Brett Saison aged in Sauvignon Blanc wine barrels, 2017 and 2018 variants of Kill Me, Thrill Me a Belgian Dark Strong aged in a Maker’s Mark Barrel and a 2017 Belgian Dubbel aged in a Woodford Bourbon barrel.
Located adjacent to many cycling routes and communities in Boulder County, Endo Brewing was founded by beer and bike fanatics Bob Lichens and Kevin Van Winkle in 2017. At Endo, guests can enjoy a variety of hand-crafted beers while their bikes are getting tuned up at the bike shop located behind the bar in the tasting room.
“Two years as brewer and co-owner of Endo feels like both split second and a lifetime. It's a dream come true,” says Kevin Van Winkle, co-founder and head brewer at Endo Brewing. “I can’t wait to bust out some barrel-aged brews that I’ve had stashed away and share them with all our friends! ”
