Someone left us a comment asking us if we were going to blog about the departure of pop icon Michael Jackson. And over dinner with friends last night, everyone agreed that regardless of how our music choices had diverged in the past decade, we were all familiar with MJ’s music when we were growing up. [...]
We’ve had several folks tell us that, like us, they love traveling and love having a tipple. Well, someone sent this story to us and we couldn’t agree more that this is probably one of the best ways to see any city, the Beer Karaoke Bike… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkulQvz-efw
Have you known that there is a patron saint of beer? Of brewing, to be exact. His name is Arnou – ‘St. Arnou’ to you non-saintly types out there. Check out the story here. Brewed in Sydney, Australia, this batch of St. Arnou Premium Light is not a mass beer brand. Definitely not a microbrew [...]
Beer bottle glasses Came across this recently. Not the kind you’d wear, fortunately.
6 June 2009 was an important day for me. I had the opportunity to sample 120 different Japanese beers in an afternoon. That’s how many craft beers were being served at the Great Japan Beer Festival in Tokyo.

Man, I missed this Bremen, Germany brewed beer. It tastes a bit like Toohey’s Old Ale. Meaning very full-bodied, roasted but not yet stoutish in character. It’s thinner in texture and milder but very satisfying when you crave for more than a regular beer. I don’t come across it often in Singapore – so if [...]

There’s this line which goes, “you wanna go where you can see, troubles are all the same, you wanna go where everybody knows your name.” In Tokyo, I’ve [...]
Discovered this at another cool beer site … pretty self-explanatory actually.
Came across this cool beer lovers’ forum. Full featured website and integrated Twitter functionality. I’m impressed. They even host regular events and all but seem to be confined mainly to the US. With more than 1,110 members and a blog roll of 499 beerblogs, I’d say its not too shabby! Check it out. http://mustlovebeer.com/home.php
Last Sunday, I was browsing in a nearby neighbourhood (Serangoon Gardens, for all you Singaporean readers) gourmet mini-supermart (not a regular mini mart but a scaled down version of a high end supermart – there is a difference, ok?) Anyways, I came across the beer section accidentally as usual. They were carrying a nice extensive [...]
