Watching Beer Amongst the Belgians (http://vimeo.com/19367846), the proof of concept pilot for a TV series hosted by one of our favourite beer writers, Tim Webb, it’s easy to imagine it fitting nicely into a season of programmes about beer on BBC Four (http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/).
Perhaps, in the same season, there might be room for Lew Bryson’s proposed American Beer Blogger (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1119215224/american-beer-blogger?ref=video) series? Or something with Pete Brown (http://petebrown.blogspot.com/2011/08/final-video-blog-its-august-its-gbbf.html)?
We’d certainly love to see some compilations of of vintage beer advertising (see above, but (http://youtu.be/x8T2yHzqfC4) there’s no (http://youtu.be/0Y_LmUKiDn4) shortage (http://youtu.be/TDQfhMMVV3E)).
A while back, the BBC showed a documentary about an artisanal baker building up to a national competition (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rm55q), perfecting his recipe, sourcing ingredients and exploring new techniques in search of a competitive edge. Contrived drama, sure, but wouldn’t a similar show about a small brewery be interesting?
And, finally, the BFI has some great archive documentaries about British pubs (http://boakandbailey.com/2010/07/17/london-in-the-raw/) — those would round out a season nicely.
How about it, Auntie?
