Sounds like I am following a beer thread this week from Lloyd Cole Traveling Musician European Beer Report to Beer Dinners at the Publican in Chicago, yet there was no conscious effort on my part to do so.
Rather than always go back to the same sources, I thought it was time to look for new windows on what's happening in Tokyo and Japan.
Which is how I stumbled upon Tokyo Beer and Blog which brings together once a month Locals and Expats Alike for Beer and Conversation with a touch of geekyness.
Their May get together took place May 28 at The Pink Cow in Shibuya which looks like a funky place (see picture above, from their site).
The event was organized in collaboration with Beer for Books to raise funds for Room to Read to supply books to kids the world over.
The Tokyo Chapter of InterNations, a community for global minds which I joined recently was also part of the mix.
I discovered Tokyo Beer and Blog thanks to Jim Grisanzio's Photo Report on the April event.
