About Beer Travelist

We are four-time winners at the annual North American Guild of Beer Writers awards, including first-place finishes in the “Best Beer Blog” (2018) and “Best Beer and Travel Writing” (2017) competitions.

Good beer is for everyone, all the time, everywhere.

At Beer Travelist, we help you find that good stuff, share stories about the people making and selling it, and hopefully spark inspiration to hit the road in search of your own beer travel nirvana. In many ways, the beer trail is a perfect gateway into a given city’s best bits–its friendliest people, its coolest bars, and sometimes even its tastiest food.

With a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific region, where in recent years craft beer has gone gangbusters, we spotlight compelling beer bars, take deep dives into new and notable breweries, suggest itineraries for hitting the highlights of a given city’s beer scene, and much more. Our stories are framed through travel and have a dedicated focus on informed, honest, and independent narrative journalism. We of course follow business news and developments in the beer industry, but rarely cover them here.

Beer Travelist is based in Singapore, but we’re constantly on the move, wandering the backstreets of Tokyo in search of cozy, crafty izakayas, for instance, or pub-hopping in East London. So, while we do zero in on many destinations close to home, our scope is global.

Drink Well. Travel Far.
