The Arlee Theater is host to local premiere

[January 29, 2026] 

On Friday, February 27 the Arlee Theater will roll out the red carpet to celebrate Love on Tap, a film from Inspirado Films (who also brought you 2023’s Walking with Herb) and Artist View Entertainment.

After her father’s death, stubborn brewer Amber Kein inherits a failing small-town brewery and a mountain of debt, along with a fierce determination to save it herself. Enter Samuel Madison, a polished marketing pro secretly hired by her late father to keep the doors open. As the unlikely pair race against time to revive the business, clashing personalities, late nights, and too much beer spark something neither expected. Love On Tap is a warm, funny romance about legacy, risk, and love fermenting in all the wrong places.

This film is written by Mary Haarmeyer (Forget Me Not, Death Everlasting) and Stafford Douglas, who you may recognize from his acting career after having appeared in works including Better Call Saul, News of the World, The Kid, and Criminal Minds. Douglas also won several awards for “Thank You, 5” an award-winning comedic series he created in 2018 about community theatre. The film is brought to life by director Keagan Karnes (Sunlight, Walking with Herb) and stars Alex Moffat (The Bear, SNL, 80 for Brady), Kennedy McMann (Nancy Drew, Tell Me Lies, The Good Doctor), Zoe Colletti (Only Murders in the Building, A Boy Called Christmas, Fear the Walking Dead), and Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead, Snowpiercer, Westworld, Emancipation).
