We kick off our first Science on Screen® event with an evening devoted to the science of beer! We are joined by Brewmaster Whit Baker of Downtown Cary’s new Bond Brothers Beer Company to offer an informative look at the science behind brewing beer after the screening.   SOS-Logo  Science on Screen® creatively pairs classic, cult, and documentary films with notables from the worlds of science, technology, and medicine. Each film is used as a jumping off point for a speaker to talk about interesting and relevant scientific research or technological advances, providing the perfect combination of entertainment and enlightenment! It’s where the movies and science collide! 

What! No Beer?

Not Rated Hilarity ensures when Jimmy Potts and Elmer J. Butts come up with a scheme to start up a beer brewery with the hope that Prohibition will soon be over. However, things don’t work out exactly as they planned, and they end up in a mess of trouble. This 1933 comedy starring Buster Keaton and Jimmy Durante, and directed by Edward Sedgwick. was made during what is known as Pre-Code Hollywood. This was a brief era in the American film industry between the introduction of sound pictures in 1929 and the enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code censorship guidelines in 1934. The screening is followed by a talk about the science of brewing beer.
