Movie And A Beer Episode 21: Spirited Away

Published: May 29, 2020, 10:50 p.m.

On this stay-at-home episode of Movie And A Beer, our youth correspondent Otto joined us for a wonderful Japanese animated movie, Spirited Away by Hiyao Miyazaki. Thought of by many as one of the greatest animated films ever made, this film brings you along on a journey of self-discovery and growth of a young girl as she struggles with trying to free herself and parents from the land of the spirits. 

We enjoyed three import beers from Japan during this episode (and taping) with young Otto sipping on a root beer from Henry Weinhard's. The beers included a Yuzu Salt Ale and Umami IPA, both from Yo-Ho Brewing, and a Kirin Ichiban special lager. You'll have to listen to the episode to learn about them and how they fit with this wonderful film.
