Win: The Exclusive The Glenlivet Legacy Series

Sep 29, 2015 |

Example. This is what so many of us need. No human being is perfect yet there is still much to be gained from insights into another person’s journey – their choices, their actions, etc. We are each on our own path, responsible for the trajectory of our life but in the words of Otto van Bismarck, “the wise man learns from the mistakes of others.” Sometimes, you just want to hear someone else’s story to confirm that you are on the right track, or simply as inspiration to help you to continue to drive forward in those moments when your motivation is flagging. It’s also important to understand...

It may not be the most scientific approach but I have always tried to ensure that my spaces...

Win A Windhoek Original Draught Hamper

Nov 24, 2014 |

Competition in the beer segment has always been tough but there seems to be an increased intensity to it, particularly over the last year or so. And, for those of you who interact with my posts regularly, although they often aren’t regular, you’ll know that what interests me more than is generally the story and ecosystem around a brand. To be honest, I wasn’t much of a beer consumer until I spent some time in Germany, in the early '90s. Windhoek Draught, which is made with the German Reinheitsgebot brewing tradition – also known as the German Beer Purity Law or Bavarian Purity Law (source:...
