A local craft beer enthusiast is filming a reality show right here in Grand Rapids, and the premiere for the pilot is happening Thursday night.
The series is called "Modern Ahabs," a non-staged, reality-style episodic series that features locally crafted beers across the country.
The pilot episode features Kentucky Breakcast Stout (KBS) by Founders Brewing Company in Grand Rapids.
Jason Ley, creator of the show, wrote and produced the first episode. With the help of director Ben Wilke and his video production company, Deep End Films, they were able to create "Modern Ahabs."
Ley says the ultimate goal for "Modern Ahabs" is to partner with a major TV, cable, or streaming network so it can be broadcast across the country. They hope to create at least 10 more episodes in the "Modern Ahabs" series.
The premiere for the pilot episode is happening on July 21 at Wealthy Theatre. The event is free and open to the public, and the doors open at 7 p.m.
