Can beer be better for the planet? - RE_GENERATION (Full Documentary)
Channel: Jack Toohey
Date: 11/04/2024

Three things I love – beer, the environment, and documentaries. Imagine my excitement when my team and I got the chance to create a story combining all three! 🍺🌏🎥

Have you ever thought about where your beer comes from? Could the cheeky beer we love be part of a better future? That question took me on a trip across the country in search of an answer. My first full-length documentary explores the world of beer production, its environmental impact, and the farmers and brewers working to make this popular Aussie bev a force for good. 🍺 🌍

Making documentaries has always been a dream, I just never thought I'd be the one on camera 😳 (This was all filmed long before I started making reels) but this story needed a beer drinker, and a beer drinker I am – so here we are!

It was an incredible journey across the state. We met inspiring people committed to revolutionising the way we farm, produce, and enjoy beer.
