Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
I had my three first Tiki Bar experiences last year and I am glad that Los Angeles has a resurgent number of them to visit because they are super fun and kitschy. Plus rum of course.
Watching Lost L.A. as they hit three different bars and talk the origin story was a good education.

You will need to as old-timers say, surf the web over to Rhode Island PBS and their website to watch a documentary about Narragansett Brewery, named Hi Neighbor. Surf, because it probably ain’t on a regular streaming service pre-occupied with either Hawkins or Tatooine at the moment.
But beer fans, like myself should learn about this brewery to better understand today’s craft beer world.
One of my favorite books of the last couple year’s was Daniel Okrent’s Last Call. And that is the jumping off point for the new Ken Burns series with the name of Prohibition.
Premieres October 2nd, 3rd & 4th, 2011 at 8 PM on PBS. But check your local PBS station for more information.
I am absolutely hooked on the Netflix streaming. To the point where I have watched a couple of atrocious movies just because I could. But this service isn’t just for kicking back and enjoying a flick. You can also get some beer learning in.
One of the travel documentaries from PBS that I have watched and can recommend is The Historic Pubs of Dublin.
Hosted by Frank McCourt of Angela’s Ashes fame, it is a fairly typical travelogue of pubs in Dublin with a smattering of history sprinkled in. Now you do not watch this for craft beer information. In fact you will be appalled to notice Bud tap handles next to Guinness ones. What you watch this for is to get a mini-history of pubs that you should at the very least walk through when you visit Dublin. And visit Dublin you should. My particular favorite is the pub next to the graveyard. I can so see myself walking into that on a cold and dark Irish night. And clocking in at one hour it is much better than Skyline or Prince of Persia.
If you out there in craft beer land have found any streaming worthy beer movies to watch, let me know and the world know through the lovely comments section.
