This is a ten-minute promotional video from the United States Brewers Foundation, Inc. It describes just how important the brewing industry is, noting the number of jobs it creates, the amount of taxes it pays, and how responsible tavern owners are.

There is no indication as to why it was created, although I speculate that it might have been to influence some pending legislation. At the very least it’s a fascinating look into America not too long after the repeal of Prohibition.
