a pal of mine is the executive producer for a new movie, 'artists die best in black'....

eric roberts (julia's brother) is one of the principals in the movie.  i haven't met him yet.  billy badalato is the producer.  he also did alien:resurection and top gun.

he was in my office and i mentioned that it would be cool if they had some black ipa at one of their parties (he loves hoppy beers).  he was a homebrewer a couple decades ago and he has tried some of mine recently.  he got pretty excited about the idea and we talked a few moments.

he stopped back by the office yesterday to let me know that they were actually going to use the beer in a scene from the movie in addition to having it for the wrap party. they even have an artist to design a label for each beer.

i'm brewing a single black ipa for the shoot and wrap party and for the release, we are going to have a single black and a double black ipa.

not quite 15 minutes of fame, but still pretty cool.

Awesome! Congratulations! Is this going to be a major production movie? Not straight to DVD?

[HoosierBrew]

Congrats !  That is awesome.

And to think we knew you before knowing you was cool 

[thebigbaker]

Wow, really cool!

[tcanova]

Cool!  I would probably crack under the pressure and the beer would be infected!

it's never happened to me, so it probably will on this beer.

Congrats!  Good luck with that Black IPA. 

I think homebrewed beer is currently a pretty hot commodity in the movie industry, at least in some circles.  My twin brothers co-directed an independent feature, "Winter in the Blood", their second feature movie that is based on the first novel of a close family friend, and it will premiere at the L.A. Film Festival next month.  The Montana Film Commission is hosting a party for them after the first showing, and I heard they had someone brew some kind of a wheat beer for the party.
