The Beer Show: AKA A Brief History of Beer

Wish Experience—The King’s Head Pub

The Beer Show is a new show from William Glenn and Trish Parry comprised of some audience participation games mixed into a number of multimedia sketches and songs related to an ongoing theme of trying to determine why bland lagers are the best selling beer. It was not as polished as last year’s show, I think largely due to it being the first night of a brand new show in a new (licensed) venue.

They went all out incorporating a number of Winnipeg and Canadian beer history references into the sketches. Some of the skits are better than others, but overall it was a fun time. However, if you have no interest at all in beer you will probably not enjoy it as much.
