What is Brew Hampshire?

Brew Hampshire is a feature length documentary about the craft brew culture in New Hampshire, and sets out to discover how New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Die” attitude attracts brewers with an entrepreneurial and artistic spirit.

Principle photography is complete, and the film is now in the final stages of post-production (Color Correction and Sound Mixing). Our goal is to get the film on VOD services, as well as distributing Blu-Rays and DVDs. Aside from the funds from our successful Kickstarter campaign, the project is funded by the married-couple team behind Slate Roof Films—Meagan Frappiea & Bryant Naro.

We have released a short documentary on Throwback Brewery, as both a test run for us and a proof of concept for the larger project.

This event is organized in partnership with 2Beerguys.com, 3S Art Space, NH Breweries and Slate Roof Films.
