Strange Brew (1983) with Trace Brewing
Join us for an evening of fun with a classic comedy, and enjoy beer tastings provided courtesy of Trace Brewing. Sounds good, eh?
Two of Canada’s finest comedians, Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, team up as beer-swilling brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie in this comedy classic from 1982. Hatching a plan to get a bunch of free Elsinore beer by putting a mouse in an empty beer bottle, the two buffoons get caught up in an even bigger scheme when they find their selves at the Elsinore brewery castle – the Brewmeister (Max von Sydow!), in Bond-villain fashion, is trying to take over the world by putting a mind-control drug in the beer. Will the McKenzie’s unquenchable thirst ultimately end up saving us all..?
Written and directed by Moranis and Thomas, Strange Brew grew from humble beginnings as a sketch on SCTV, Canada’s version of Saturday Night Live. (Very) loosely based on Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Hamlet, this film is a bummer only if you hate to laugh out loud, eh.
Directed by Rick Moranis
