What's the Story?
BREWS BROTHERS is a comedy series about two brothers trying to make a go of a microbrewery. Wilhelm Rodman (Alan Aisenberg) is the brewmaster and owner of failing Rodman's Brewing Company in Van Nuys, California. Despite his best efforts, and those of his MMA fighter-turned underage manager Sarah (Carmen Flood) and staff member Chuy (Marques Ray), his beer doesn't seem to catch on. So when his pretentious, but talented, beer brewing brother Adam (Mike Castle) shows up, he begrudgingly agrees to partner with him to keep his business afloat.
Is It Any Good?
Irreverent and crude, this series is about two talented beer brewmasters who take their craft to the next level while rebuilding their relationship. The antics between the brothers is central to the show, but folks like Sarah, Chuy, and quirky acquaintances like Elvis (Zach Reino) and Becky (Inanna Sarkis) -- the bohemian co-owners of a children-themed food truck -- create some whacky situations. Some of their patrons are a little strange, too. But the writing isn't sharp enough to justify some of the nonstop shenanigans, which feel gratuitous at times. Nonetheless, if you like your comedies on the raunchy side, Brews Brothers is a lighthearted series that will keep you laughing.
