Synopsis

From the Broken Lizard comedy group (SUPER TROOPERS, CLUB DREAD) comes their latest release BEERFEST, a new comedy that proves revenge, like beer, is best served cold.

American brothers Todd (Eric Stolhanske) and Jan Wolfhouse (Paul Soter) travel to Germany on a mission to spread their grandfather's ashes at Oktoberfest. While there they discover a super-secret, centuries old, underground beer games competition - Beerfest - the Olympics of beer drinking. At Beerfest Todd and Jan are snubbed by their German cousins, the Von Wolfhausens, who slander their heritage and horror of horrors...drink them under the table.

Not accepting defeat the Wolfhouse brothers vow to return a year later and defend their family honour. Organising a team - Barry Badrinath (Jay Chandrasekhar), Phil Krundle (Kevin Hefferman) aka Landfill and Charlie "Fink" Finklestein (Steve Lemme) - the magnificent five train relentlessly supported by their Great Gam Gam (Cloris Leachman) and her caretaker Cherry (Mo'Nique).
