The bulk of the interior driving scenes were shot in line producer Benjamin Finateri's garage in Connecticut because it rained unexpectedly during principle photography.
Beer Goggles was shot over the course of 3 nights. There are over 60 shots in the five-minute film.
Line producer Benjamin Finateri worked a summer job at the Amoco gas station where the film was shot.
Beer Goggles was one of 5 films chosen to advance from NYU's Color Sync Showcase to the more prestigious First Run Film Festival where it won an award for Best Editing.
Beer Goggles was shot in 1996 while T. Arthur Cottam was still attending New York University film school. Because of financial hardship, the film was not completed until 2001.
