It's not a mystery that beer goes with anything. Just ask your drunk uncle when he shows up at Thanksgiving having started at 6 am, reading The Washington Post while on the toilet. Hey man, Miller Time is any time! So with that image of your uncle on the toilet in mind, get ready for "Cinema and Suds" a new weekly series from Simplistic Reviews.
To kick things off, the work of Edgar Wright meets craft beer from Colorado as "Hot Fuzz" is paired with New Belgium's Sunshine Wheat Ale, a refreshing ale brewed with spices. "Fuzz," starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, are cops in a sleepy English town, but as people start ending up dead in some particular gruesome ways, a conspiracy is uncovered that the unlikely duo must thwart. What does this have to do with New Belgium Sunshine Wheat? Well, nothing really, but I'll try and make something up to give it credence.
"Fuzz" is a fun film where you can turn your brain off and enjoy it as an action parody, which it's meant to be. Sunshine is a low ABV beer (ABV is short for Alcohol By Volume, of course) clocking in at 4.8% so you can knock back quite a few during the course of "Fuzz." Or hey, play a drinking game whenever mention is made to "Point Break," "Bad Boys," or "Bad Boys 2." That would be perfectly acceptable with Sunshine Wheat.
Enjoy the video companion to this review, and check back every week for another edition of Cinema and Suds.
