As We Like It (1952)

★★★★★ · Gracious Living · Steve Nordby · 2003-08-22

Let me sum this film up: Beer and ale are beverages high in food value, oh and did we mention the beer industry pays taxes? But the enjoyment of beer is not limited to family. And the tavern operator cooperates fully with all law enforcement agencies. Beer helped make America great! So how could I not give that 5 stars.

★★★★ · Or What We Will · Christine Hennig · 2003-09-21

This film is about beer. About how beer has helped to build America and Western civilization in general. About how beer is brewed to exacting standards of sanitation and quality. About how beer has great ability to give the drinker a buuh, sorry, food value. About how heavy taxes are levied on beer, enriching the coffers of pork-barrel poliuh, sorry, building highways and schools to benefit us all. And about how your friendly neighborhood tavern is a clean, well-run establishment where patrons can get blottsorry, enjoy sparkling malt beverages. And how your friendly tavern operator supports…

★★★★ · Better living through beer! · Spuzz · 2003-08-22

A very nice looking film all about beer production and tavern proprieting to citizens who appear in their Sunday best at taverns. This is a curious;y gung-ho short which extoils the many freedoms that America has, and one of them, is of course, fine malt beverages. Some GREAT 1950's shots of people serving, drinking, and making beer are shown. A warning though, the film tends to depend more on still pictures rather then film. Other then that, this is reccomended!

This is the most stupid, inane, idiotic, moronic, insipid, pathetic, nauseating thing I've seen from 1952.....and this is coming from someone who watched a whole episode of "The Magic Clown" from that year. However, I give it three stars since some of the shots are useful as stock footage.

★★ · Shameless promotion of Beer by the industry... · Roland Deschain · 2003-08-15

This opens up with a very quick history of 'malt beverages' as they are referred to, before moving on to a bunch of statistics showing how the industry is big, assists the economy and employs a lot of people. Strange though; if you divide the $350m paid to 100,000 workers, you get $3500 each (and that's assuming everybody is on equal pay). I'm unsure of what year this was made, but it sure doesn't sound like much. A now interesting old style can of beer is shown, obviously before the invention of the ring-pull. It fobs off the tax on beer explaining that your money is infact going to help…
