If you’ve watched City Steading Brews, The Fermenstation, The Tasting Room, or Beyond the Brews, you’ve probably heard us drop a line from a favorite movie or TV show.
We quote films.
We quote sitcoms.
We quote sci-fi.
We quote 80s classics.
Sometimes you catch them instantly. Sometimes they slip by unnoticed.
So we created this official City Steading Pop Culture Watch List — a guide to the movies and television series that have shaped our sense of humor and found their way into our everyday vocabulary.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- “What movie was that quote from?”
- “Was that a Firefly reference?”
- “Why do they keep saying that line?”
This list is for you.
Happy viewing!

If it’s sarcastic, awkward, dry, or delivered with perfect comedic timing — there’s a good chance it came from one of these.
Pop culture references are part of how we connect with our audience. Homebrewing is technical — gravity readings, fermentation science, aging variables — but quoting a favorite movie keeps it fun. These films and series helped shape our humor, and they’re part of the personality behind City Steading.
