Daaaasssss Boooooooooooooot!

Beerfest (2006)

Urged to go to Germany by their grandmother after their grandfather’s death, Jan and Todd Wolfhause didn’t know what to expect. They were told to carry on a family tradition. When they arrived, they realized that they were right smack in the middle of Oktoberfest. Their mission was to get in touch with a contact of their grandmother and set their grandfather’s ashes on the mantle next to their other family members that have departed. This contact brought the two brothers to Beerfest, an underground beer drinking competition in which they were ridiculed, realizing that USA didn’t have a team. After the embarrassment at Beerfest, the two brothers vowed to start a USA Beerfest team and to win.

Beerfest was a great movie. First, it’s whole story line is about playing drinking games and building up tolerance to drink with the best beer drinkers in the world; it can’t get any better than that. The laughs are pretty much non-stop. The storyline worked out well and this movie started a new trend, drinking out of a giant glass boot. The humor is outrageous at times, but subtle at other points. Overall, very enjoyable, oh yea, and there is a Willie Nelson cameo at the end!
