Showtimes vary, check with venues
A couple of days ago a fan contacted me about hosting a screening in his home. We chatted about the idea over beer. We’ll show the film to a select group friends while sharing beers and talking about Minnesota beer. I like it.
Would you like to host a screening during the CTL Film Tour 2015? Dates still available, June through November. Contact us.
Crafted to Last merchandise will be available at the screenings. T shirts, glasses and DVDs. Black 100% cotton shirts feature either white or full color film logo. Glasses are Willi Becher style pints. Available in 4 B/W designs and 4 full color designs with quotes from the film. Both are available as limited edition boxed sets of 4 distinct glasses, numbered, sealed and authenticated. Only B/W glasses will be sold individually.
This video is from a past crowd funding campaign, but it nicely summarizes what you need to know about limited edition glass sets.

Crafted to Last in the News
People are noticing Crafted to Last – Minnesota Beer Blossoms. Very early on, November 2012, Tom Nehil MinnPost picked up on our Beer Styles Trailer. I stand by my comment of Nov. 16, 2012.
More recently Ryan Tuenge from Minnesota on Tap in the Star Tribune gave the Campaign for Music a platform and helped us get the word out that the film was coming together and we were setting a date for release.
The interview by Loren Greene for Hot Dish and City Pages got more in depth. I was able to tell potential viewers a little bit about how and why this film came to be made. Rereading it now, I still think it gets the basic points and conveys them accurately.
A Q&A exchange with Andrew Schmitt from MN Beer Activists helped fill in some background about the title and the music. True to a beer advocate, he asked about style (cinema verite) and flavor (time lapse and progression).
Later today I’ll be on the radio Sizzling 99.9 with MNSkinny to talk about the film. 5-6 PM July 7, 2014 Listen now.
Then to the Shoreview Library to talk with Haley from Curious North for a podcast.
Wednesday I’m scheduled to talk with Eric Linares from WCCO.
Phone interview with Chris Harwood on KUMD’s Northand Morning 103.3 FM on July 11 at 8 AM. Live stream available.
Tickets: World Premiere in Minneapolis July 19, 2014 and Duluth Debut July 25, 2014.
