Beer Documentary Screening Set For Jan. 19 At Newtown Theatre

NEWTOWN, PA — A documentary about craft beer will be screened at the Newtown Theatre on Jan. 19 in an event that will raise money for the local A Love for Life nonprofit organization.

Poured in Pennsylvania, a feature-length craft beer documentary produced by Harrisburg-based video production company GK Visual, will be screened on Saturday, Jan. 19 at 2 p.m. The screening had been scheduled in November, but was rescheduled thanks to an early-season snowstorm.

The screening raises money for A Life for Life, which is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer research. The organization has partnered with the Abramson Cancer Center, and 100 percent of the money raised directly funds cutting-edge research in Philadelphia.

“Our team spent the last year-plus crisscrossing the state to capture the craft beer story in Pennsylvania,” said Nate Kresge, GK Visual Co-Owner and Executive Producer. “We’re excited to share this story with everyone who helped make it, as well as Pennsylvania’s growing and dedicated craft beer community.”

From America's oldest brewery to taprooms changing the landscape of small towns across the commonwealth, GK Visual's Poured in PA illustrates the importance of this ancient, but newly redeveloped, industry and its impact on Pennsylvania.

The documentary features several well-known Pennsylvania breweries, including Victory Brewing Co., Voodoo Brewery, Weyerbacher Brewing Co., Penn Brewery, Noble Stein Brewing Co., St. Boniface Craft Brewing Co., East End Brewing Co., and Dancing Gnome Brewing Co.

Tickets are $10 and can be paid directly on this dedicated Penn Giving Page: http://givingpages.upenn.edu/PouredinPA.

Your receipt will provide admission. Limited tickets will be available at the door.

The Newtown Theatre is located at 120 N. State Street, Newtown.
