The long awaited second episode in the short documentary series PINTS: Stories Behind the Beer has finally premiered online for streaming and can be seen above.

The PINTS series is by Portland-area filmmakers Clinton Herrick, Ryan Claypool and David Jordan, with writer Solomon Hanson.

PINTS: Stories Behind the Beer, is a documentary series focused on the humble and not-so-humble beginnings of the craft beer revolution and how it was built. This series tells the stories of why beer is made, not just how. In the Pacific Northwest, a region seemingly flooded with craft breweries, PINTS examines the folks who make beer and their various journeys, portraying them in a compelling, narrative format. We film PINTS in a striking, cinematic way to emphasize people and place and better reflect the influence each has on the liquid that many so regularly enjoy.
