Abstract

This project examines the history and evolution of the beer brewing industry in Indiana through a half hour long documentary, titled Indiana in a Pint. Indiana has a rich and vibrant history of brewing beer, dating back to the initial recognition of statehood in 1816. Indiana reached one hundred breweries pre-prohibition, but the 1980’s, the number was down to two. Now, however, Indiana is well on its way to having one hundred breweries once again. The documentary details the history of brewing in Indiana as well as highlighting the current craft brewing community.
