Jo'burg Festival of Beer

The Festival of Beer will be bringing the “golden nectar” to Johannesburg, SA’s City of Gold, on the 6^th, 7^th and 8th of September at Pirates Sports Club.

Visitors can expect to see Pirates converted into a beer haven, with over 2300m² of all things beer! With local and international brewers, home brewers, craft and mega brewers, brewing demonstrations, beer tours and food and beer pairings there is plenty to keep you busy. In true Festival of Beer tradition visitors can also look forward to free samples of all beers on show!

I survived week 2 - GetSmarter on Events Management

As I sit and take a breath after the week I've had I am pleased to announce that I made it through week 2 of the Events Management Course. Although I have to note that I submitted my assignment late on the Tuesday so there was a 10% penalty.

This week in particular I appreciated the convenience of the online course, I could fit reading time and "class time" into my schedule which was usually after 10 pm. No rest for the wicked yo!  I'm travelling next week, so I'm really going to be putting my focus to the test. I'm glad that as long as I have Wifi I can still actively participate.

In week 2 we covered the Event role players; this includes sponsors, buyers (buyers of the event management service), suppliers and intermediaries. I found the number of roles players interesting and the subtle differences between roles players within the same category.

Here's to getting smarter week 3!

On Liner - Stanley Beer Yard

Touched base with Donovan at Stanley Beer Yard, for a beer (yes you guessed it) and a chat. This is his take on Stanley Beer Hall.

"A warm, cosy joint with delicious, ice cold craft beer and an abundance of young hipsters in undersized jeans and vintage glasses. This is their Meccah"

It must be nice having a beer with your name on it!
