95% of the beer I buy is brewed within the city limits!

but I know what you mean... In most areas, the guys who distribute the micro's actually work for one of the biggies.

One of the most interesting parts of the movie is the discovery of "Green Valley Brewery" which makes an organic ale the filmmaker found in a store... Turns out there is no Green Valley Brewery... It's got a giant Budweiser sign on the side.
