Beer Friends Forever Chelas Tokyo
-
- Society & Culture
Living in Tokyo I have met a lot of great people, but it's hard to find time to turn those acquaintances into friends. I think the best way to get to know someone is to have a drink together, ask them questions, and listen to their stories.
So with the help of this podcast and lots of beer, my guest and I will learn about each other and (hopefully) become Beer Friends Forever!!
Join us for an intimate chat after hours at Chelas Bar in Tokyo and meet some of the coolest people in Japan.

Episode 10 | Beer Friends w/ Matthew Boynton
On our 10th episode of Beer Freinds Forever we are joined by Matthew Boynton, Co-Owner and Brewmaster for Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa. It's not our first experience together as Matthew and co-owner Daniel Bellamy hosted Chelas on their podcast last year! We're reunited on this episode and enjoyed a few glasses of beer, one of us perhaps a bit too much (not a surprise, it was me)...
