Do you know how many beer brands there are available in South Africa?

Writing a book on beer
I have always been fascinated by the idea of writing a book.
Imagine writing a novel, stuck in a mountain cabin for months, just writing….
Although the idea of staying in a mountain cabin (for a short stay) appeals to me. I know that I will never want to write a novel.
Writing about the things I have learned selling beers for the last twenty years, makes more sense to me.
The idea of compiling the ABC of Beers, originates fromThe Keg & Thistle days in Florida Road, Durban.
The biggest novelty at the Keg & Thistle in the 1990’s, was to “Drink your way around the World”. Briefly, this meant drinking a number beers from different countries around the world to earn an engraved plaque on the wall of your local Keg Pub.
To me, the ABC of Beers started as a challenge. The challenge was to find at least one beer, available in South Africa, for each letter of the alphabet.
The objective of this exercise is to highlight the variety of beers available in the country.
Now I am on my next project – compiling an updated version of BJ Lankwarden’s Beer Drinkers Guide to Beers in South Africa. This is a huge task: I started counting late last night and eventually called it a night at 250 beers.
Please help me with the huge task by liking the new Facebook Page here: https://www.facebook.com/beersouthafrica
Below follows a list of the beers I included in the ABC of Beers. Here is the link to order the full copy: http://liquorsa.us7.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=16864b6f173ad1e4a445ad842&id=b67eeb9c41

Dear Global Restaurant Leader,
Last year, we held an inaugural “Global Restaurant Association Executive Summit” in Chicago coinciding with the National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show. The Summit identified common industry issues – in supply chain management, food safety, increasing labor costs, government regulations, and more.
We ask that you join us to build on what we started in 2013 at our “Second Global Restaurant Association Executive Summit” on Monday, May 19. We will officially launch the Summit on Sunday, May 18 at 17:00 with a reception; then we will convene on Monday, May 19, from 8:00 to 16:00 with a series of expert speakers and open forums. Simultaneous translation will be provided.
The Summit will again coincide with the annual industry show (being held May 17 to May 20 in Chicago, Illinois). Show access will be included in Summit registration.
We ask that each country limit participation to two associations (one delegate per association) or two delegates from a single association, in order for us to accommodate a wide global representation in our limited space.
Please R.S.V.P. for the 2014 Global Restaurant Association Executive Summit by Friday, April 25 by simply replying to this email. You may book lodging through the Show website.
If you have any questions about the Summit, please contact Celene Di Stasio at cdistasio@restaurant.org.
We hope to see you in Chicago!
Dawn Sweeney
President & CEO
