Peter Farrelly on the ‘Ludicrous’ but True Story Behind ‘The Greatest Beer Run Ever’ (Video)

TIFF 2022: The “Green Book” director chatted about his new film, about a guy who goes to Vietnam to deliver some cold ones to his friends

“The Greatest Beer Run Ever” tells the (based-on-a) true story of a man who went to Vietnam during the war just to bring beer to his enlisted friends. Director and co-writer Peter Farrelly started working on the film before his Oscar-winning drama “Green Book” finished its awards lap in 2019.

“Somebody sent me a 12-minute documentary that Andrew Muscato did about the greatest beer run ever, and I just couldn’t believe what I was looking at, that this guy actually went to Vietnam during the war, somehow found his way around the country and dropped off beers with people and happened to get there right before the Tet Offensive.
