Hey, CHAOS. I've been in touch with William Acks from Part2 Pictures in New York and he's been sharing his idea for a TV show on homebrewers/brewing. Find below their casting letter if anyone's interested. Would be an awesome opoportunity to get yourself a part on the show just by being an avid homebrewer!!!!
SEEKING AMATEUR BREWERS FOR NEW TV SERIES
Are you insanely passionate about making beer? Are you an amateur brewer who competes? Are you part of a group of friends, social club, or family who brew together? Do you devote every waking second (or all of your free time) to making beer?
A major cable network and Part2 Pictures, an award-winning documentary film and television company based in New York City have teamed up to develop a quality TV show about the fun, competitive world of amateur beer brewing.
We are currently casting people who represent the wide-range of folks making beer – especially those of you who are very active members of a brew club or beer brewing group. We’d love to speak with you to learn more about the where’s, how’s and why’s of brewing beer.
WE ARE SEEKING:
- Amateur brewers who participate in competitions (or will be entering their first competition)
- Members of a social brewers club who brew together
- Colleagues or friends who are part of a brew team
- Siblings or a whole family of brewers
- We will also consider individual brewers not part of a cohesive group
- Brewers with a “friendly rivalry” – or who have someone they’ve been dying to outbrew
- We are open to people who have been doing this for many years or just starting out, or amateurs who have the dream of going pro
- We are interested in people who just LOVE beer
- Big personalities and huge passion for making beer a must!
If you fit the description or know someone who does, please email: casting@part2pictures.com with the following info:
- name, email and phone number
- a recent photo of yourself and your “brewmates”
- where you live
- why you love making beer
- how long you’ve been brewing beer
- describe your group (or indicate if you brew and compete on your own)
- your local brew club (if applicable)
- details of the competition circuit (how many competitions you participate in, when you will be next competing, etc.)
- describe the type of beer(s) you make and why you think it’s the best!
- why you’d love to participate in a show about beer brewers

Any interest in doing a combined piece about the whole club? Maybe the brewing for and the lead up to one of our parties?
He did talk a bit about wanting to follow around individuals... But, it also sounds like this may be a viable thread for the show if not the main focus. I say we pitch something as a club!
Any radio interviews open? I've been told I have a great face for radio!
Well, William does want to do a skype call and record it; not for casting/airing but just so that he can "interview" a person or two about CHAOS and have it to refer to at a alter date. So, if someone is up for talking with him about the club, let me know.
I think we can all agree that Chuck is the club's Reality TV star in the making
Ha! William did mention "big personalities." If Chuck doesn't fit that, I don't know who does!
Let's get Kyle in there too. Then we should have a big bottle share right before they get on the call.
You mother f...!
Just have me deal with Chip before hand...
Bumping this up. William is still looking for people. He may be at Cerveza de Mayo but don't count on it. E-mail him if you want to be on the show!
I already emailed and had a Skype interview... It's legit. I'd like to see some big personalities like Chuck and Kyle to get on this too... It would definitely make the show more entertaining.
Agreed!
William asked me to beat the bushes another time. He said that he's going to see if one of his producers in Chicago can come and mingle amongst the brewers at Cerveza but, otherwise, I/we should encourage people to get in touch with him.
