I had the pleasure of seeing the new documentary Nuts! recently which is the story behind a doctor in the 1920’s and 1930’s who made use of goats, big radio towers and impotent males to create an empire in both Kansas and Texas.
And in talking with the narrator of the picture, Gene Tognacci, I learned that there was a maibock from Free State Brewing named after the subject of the documentary. Now there are more and more TV and movie tie-in beers out there from Vacation to Game of Thrones and one I will be posting about later today but this is the first instance of a beer that was brewed first but ties in perfectly with a documentary.
I encourage you to see the movie and then go home and pop open a bock bier if you liked it. And maybe we can get more documentary beers out there. Perhaps an untapped market.
