...with his earnings from a job at Burger King. Skinner blends dance beats, garage and hip-hop, but also fronts socially aware lyrics. His album tells of a day in the life of a "geezer" - an ordinary bloke whose existence is an endless run of cafés, strong lager, drugs, raving, failure with women, and kebab shops. It may not be your cup of Tennants, but Skinner is the most original British rapper, skillfully depicting the lives of his escape-bent, disillusioned generation. Of course, not all the Brit nominees are on the cutting edge...
...Brewery, (66 2) 6781 1146, could be found only in Bangkok. The world's best?and as far as I know, only?Thai-German bar and restaurant, the three-year-old beer hall serves generous pitchers of original microbrews concocted by Bavarian brewmaster Mr. Joken.

Founded in 1996, his is one of the oldest microbreweries in Asia and does most of its business supplying Hong Kong pubs with exclusive microbrews; he began exporting its popular Dragon's Back Ale and Premium Gold Lager outside Hong Kong only a few months ago. Though the company has expanded its production, the focus is on providing diversity to local tipplers stuck in an unimaginative market. "With most bartenders, if you ask for a Hong Kong beer, they'll give you a Tsingtao," sniffs Docherty...
Beer is the new campus extracurricular. Not beer-drinking, mind you. Beer-brewing, spinning a fizzy pilsner or a deep lager out of grains, hops and yeast. Whether it’s a home-brew kit from a mail-order catalogue, or objects from Dickson’s Hardware assembled into a makeshift still, a few committed Harvard students are brewing up a storm...
