Oktoberfest eats and drinks
Paulaner is one of em popular beers for Oktoberfest, a 16-day festival that takes place in Germanys Bavaria, specifically in Munich. However it actually ends in early October. Strange. Probably too damn cold to go on. The party started in 1810, coz Prince Ludwig married someone. And they lived...

The Wine Daddy is Prakash, who has the sessions at Sanctuary@7, his awesome residence in Damansara Heights, KL. I had the opportunity to checkout his wine...

Bars – more than just bars
Bars have been the focal point of communities for centuries. It brings people together in a happy, jovial and tipsy environment, and i do feel sorry for anyone who has never been in one. Like my letter in The Star in response to an alcophobic said, To many of us, having a drink is a [...]

Johnnie Walker runs away
Johnnie Walker has really bolted with the lead in terms of value worldwide. It totally trashed the others by far. Its brand value is US$4.4 billion, which is almost double the second-placed, which happens to be a Chinese brand, Moutai. And whisky is still the king of planet earth. The whisky brands...

Politician wants to ban drinks in public
Yup, some clueless knucklehead is at it again. A new issue has just appeared that will definitely affect us all permanently. A politician wants to ban us from having a drink in any public place. This means you cant step out of your house perimeter with a drink in your hand anymore. This would mean...

The science of pushing booze?
Sometimes I wonder how much thinking some FB outlet owners do before they decide to operate a joint. Some do the how-not-to-run-an-outlet thing. Like a crappy set-up (it doesn’t need to cost high, but at least be tasteful), clueless staff, too low (or too loud) tunes, lack of customer service, etc.

Adios, Soren!
Carlsberg Malaysia (CMB) s unorthodox managing director Soren Ravn is outta here on July 1, after leading the brewery for three party-packed years. Soren will be remembered as a sport, who mingled and drank with the crowd at the beer brands many launches and gigs (and rapped). No doubt...
