Krugerparken

Här är några av mina favoritfoton från Krugerparken.

Det var en sådan häftig upplevelse. Mängden olika djur vilt mitt i detta vackra landskap var enormt. Grämer mig fortfarande att vi inte såg Leopard eller Lejon, men det är ju en del av upplevelsen. Jag kommer garanterat åka tillbaka!

Craft Beer – South Africa Pale Ale

1 Comment

So before I went to South Africa I was thinking about making a beer with african hops. I searched the stores in Sweden but could not find anyone that imported from Africa. That ment I had to buy it there. During the last days in Cape Town I managed to visit Beerguevara and bought a number of different hops.

I based the recipe on a pale ale and went for a bit stronger as I wanted to go all in with the hops. The result was great! I named it “Welcome To My Office” after some singing I heard in Jo’burg, you need to ask me about the details…
