About

As a young man, Chris Barnard, founder of Boston Breweries was curious to discover more of the world and to see what lay beyond his African home. Having completed his training in computer studies, at age 21, he explored Europe where he tasted and enjoyed many different styles of beer – from German Weizen to Greek lagers.

When he eventually returned home to Cape Town, he was disappointed to find that his local beer drinking options did not live up to the flavoursome tastes he was accustomed to. Not one to accept things as they are, Chris gradually began experimenting with the brewing process and a few years later, after a fact-finding tour to Southern Germany, Chris purchased a 100-litre system and brewing began to take place. It was not long before demand exceeded his 100-litre capacity. It was at this stage that his dream of building a viable brewery became a reality.

All Boston Breweries products are naturally brewed using malted barley, water, yeast and hops.

Writer's block

Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The sales block is down the hall.

We're joking. Obviously.

Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".

Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.

As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.

So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
