Movie And A Beer

Here we are, 200th episode for Movie And A Beer. This time around we wanted to watch a classic and fun movie from the 1990's and ended up with Jurassic Park. Directed by Steven Spielberg and based off of a great book, it blends many elements of horror, suspense, drama, and sci-fi all wrapped around some amazing special effects. The story follows two dinosaur experts, played by Sam Neill and Laura Dern along with a mathematician played by Jeff Goldblum as they experience the Jurassic Park that was built around dinosaurs being brought back to life using questionable genetic methods. Of course, throw in a couple of grandkids, a hurricane, and a greedy employee that shuts down the park to steal it's secrets and you get a great suspenseful drama that entertains while teaching you about dinosaurs while trying to escape from them. 

Along for the ride were three Oktoberfest beers from Wayfinder (OR), Tiny Giants (OR), and Level Beer (OR). We were lucky enough to have examples of both the lighter Fest style and Marzen styles and a fresh hop iteration. All three were winners, so we lucked out there. Give the episode a listen to hear about that and our thoughts on the film as it compares to other Spielberg movies.
