To celebrate the opening of the renewed Vomar Supermarket the Haarlem based Jopen brewery created a special limited edition beer: Jopen Stephenson Beer. The Jopen Stephenson Beer is a blond beer with a refreshing taste and fruity hints from oranges. The beer resembles white beer a bit, contains wheat and oats and has a mild ‘hoppy’ (IPA, India Pale Ale) aftertaste. A wonderfull initiative where a supermarket creates a piece of local pride with a tasty beer, in my opinion more retailers should do this! ^ArmandSol
A new kind of booking site, Hotelied, offers luxury hotels the opportunity to target discounts towards influential travelers with a large social media influence. Hotels probably hope that by offering these deals, the discounts will be outweighed by the exposure and publicity. I am quite sure it’s been done already between bloggers and hotels. Some bloggers are quite clear in their communication about these deals. But now we have the website Hotelied where travelers have to create a profile and link to their Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin. For people with a lot of fans or followers a great opportunity to gain some profit. But on the other hand, could this mean that the social media becomes less social? It seems that hotels can kind of buy ‘good reviews’ from influential travelers. Am I too suspicious and could we consider this as a win-win situation for the hotels, the booking site and the travelers? And assume that all those fans and followers will be able to read between the lines, what do you think? ^Marjolein van Spronsen
It looks as if these SnapRays Guidelights are designed for at home, but we think it might also be very useful in the hallways and the wet section of hotelrooms. With these LED lights it is a lot easier to find your way around the room to the bathroom or toilet.
If you like to eat out early, it’s now possible to join the staff of FG Restaurant (restaurant Francois Geurts, 2 Michelin stars, Rotterdam) and FG Food Labs during their staff meal. From my own internship in another kitchen, I can still remember the fun of eating together. And especially for young people who are considering to start working in a restaurant, this is a nice opportunity to take a look. I have however reservations, recently I enjoyed a great diner at FG Food Labs and of course the staff meal is different… At both restaurants you have to be early, at FG Restaurant the staff meal is served from 17.00 to 18.00 and at FG Food Labs from 16.00 to 17.00. The staff meal is served at a reasonable rate and reservations are necessary. ^ Marjolein Spronsen
The German premium beer Warsteiner transformed the Amsterdam Forest (Amsterdamse Bos) last June 7 to a golf course with a ‘par-3 course’ specially designed for the occasion. LED lighting and striking ‘glow-in-the-dark‘ golf balls guiding the players along the golf course in an exceptional setting that was made up of temporary tee boxes and greens. As the sun went down, the game started (at 23:00 hour) and the last ball found the hole at 02:00 hour. As sponsor of the KLM Open and as official sponsor of the European PGA Tour, the top European golf competition, Warsteiner wants to help golf to a wider audiences.

Temaki, a Brazilian form of sushi, is available at Yoobi in London for a few of years already. The owners were inspired by trips in Japan and Brazil. The food reminds us of the Kono pizza but is authentic Japanese. Watch the video for a DIY instruction, so you can make an alternative snack during the World Championship the coming weeks!
In the 21C Museum Hotels everything revolves around art and enjoying art since 2006. In addition, you can sleep and dine in the museums. There are now three separate locations in Louisville, Cincinnati and Bentonville. We actually saw it more often, the combination of art, sleeping and dining, but this chain emphasizes on their art exhibitions in their architecture and interior. Watch the bit long video from 2013 for more background information.
