Beer summit
It’s three folks having a drink at the end of the day and hopefully giving people an opportunity to listen to each other. And that’s really all it is Like Gene Callahan, I think Obama's "beer summit" was a great lesson in conflict resolution. Alcohol-fuelled dialogue - should be used more.

Britishness
