Become a bag of beer grain at a brewery, a Goose Island video we’ve been watching for about 20 minutes now

April 12, 2016Keith Gribbins

Ever wondered what it’d be like to be a bag of grain? If yes (which is a little weird), this video is for you!https://t.co/Wj9eWpv4G5

I don’t need to be Hardcore Henry. I don’t need to lob grenades into a pack of bad guys, be thrown from exploding cars or stick hypodermic needles into my heart. Naw. In my first-person, full-length motion picture, I’d rather just be a piece of grain who turns into beer. Grown long and tall in the barley field, I get harvested, malted, processed, placed in a bag and sent to a brewery to become beer. Of course there will still be excitement: milling, mashing, lautering and eventually being eaten by local, grain-fed cattle. It’ll be a beautiful and moving story — on par with movies like Boyhood or Rubber. In fact, Goose Island Brewing Co. has already filmed a pilot for us. Watch it above. I know I can’t stop watching it.
