Smithwicks, Sierra Nevada, Fat Tire lag Boulder Creek

Last day of the Globalpress Summit Conference in Monterey, and one has to say it has all been a great success. Monterey has a surprisingly wide assortment of watering holes many run by ex-pat Brits.

There's Hope For Japan

There’s now every chance of getting a decent pint in Tokyo. A number of brew-pubs, micro-breweries and bars selling real beer are flourishing there, and a few, discerning Japanese are beginning to learn there’s more to life than the frozen, fizzy, tasteless offerings of Kirin, Sapporo, Asahi et al.

Anyone Know Of A Decent Pint In Dallas?

A reader has asked if anyone out there has had a decent pint of wallop in Dallas.

Please send suggestions to david.manners@rbi.co.uk or reply to the blog.

P.S. It is intended to start a good pint guide on this site, but our IS people have been snowed under with new site launchings, and the idea is it will be available next year.

Great Night Out In San Francisco

God I love San Francisco. The first time I came was in 1984, and I’ve been every year since and always have a good time. Kicking off at the House of Prime Rib on Van Ness and Washington, a tawny, panelled place like Simpson’s or Rules in London, things started well.

Help Us Find The Silicon Inn

Silicon-InnWeb small.jpg Here, Ladies and Gentlemen, is where you could be spending some time this autumn as you travel the globe.

The Silicon Inn is not a physical place, it is that little bit of Britain you carry in your brain when you go abroad, and which is triggered, after a long day of presentations, when the thought gells, then emerges: 'Christ I could do with a pint of wallop'.   

Usually this is a pipedream. The only 'beer' to be had is yellow, cold, fizzy and tasteless i.e. foreign muck.
