Beerland in Alabamaland
Beerland is a travelling homebrew competition show on VICELAND that showcases the homebrewing community in all of the nooks and crannies of the US. Each episode is titled after the state it is filmed in and is a profile of a unique homebrewers and their respective communities. Season 1 featured beautiful spots in New Mexico, New York, Northern California, Colorado, and Hawaii.
Host Meg Gill travels around visiting and immersing herself in the craft and homebrew communities, from tasting and hanging out to giving brew tips. Her favorite beer gets a chance to be brewed at her brewery, Golden Road Brewing, in Los Angeles. Oh, yeah, Meg Gill is also the youngest female brewery owner in the world. NBD.
Binge Season 1 here. You’ll like the Hawaii episode.
Beerland is currently working on season 2, with Alabama being one of the pit stops.
On the agenda:
- Find young homebrewers living in Alabama
- Drink amazing beer
- Showcase the unique homebrewing communities in our state
The homebrewing community is a tight-knit one, with local ingredients a-plenty and incredibly trusting friends. For real, your friends really love you if they trust you enough to try a beer you made in your backyard.
Producers are looking for unique and outgoing people who are passionate about the beer they make and the community they share it with.
Do you drink your homemade lagers exclusively on the river? Take your IPAs on a picnic to Railroad Park or Vulcan (which may or may not be illegal—I dunno)? Or maybe you diversify your session beer tastings with pop-up shops at the hunting club, or pouring a few for your Young Professionals posse.
Bottom line: We don’t know your homebrewing life. But we’d sure like to.
Beerland is not only on a journey to find great tasting beers, but to highlight the homebrewing community we might not have known about otherwise.
Any homebrewers interested in sharing their story and passion should email the following Q&A to Jaime.Cooke@vice.com, ASAP (like, really—ASAP). They’ll be here July 31st-August 3rd.
