When I shared my first painting with you at the beginning of lockdown I had no idea or even the dream of sharing this post with you....I don't really have the words to accurately describe this feeling.

Hope I see you this First Thursday at Youngblood Gallery, 70 - 74 Bree Street, Cape Town on the 5th of November 2020.

Everyone's support goes way further than you think! Thank you Woodstock Brewery, GCU and all your volunteers for your big hearts.

I'll see you soon for a beer or two

Rhythm Stick Pale Ale

The Rhythm Stick English Pale Ale has a pronounced crisp bitterness, with a clean, medium bodied mouthfeel. With biscuit and subtle passion fruit flavours, it is a perfect session ale, and inspires the call for another. ABV: 5% IBU: 20 330ml Can

MOTHER SOUP | Woodstock Brewery

It's just getting more and more difficult and scary out there. Thousands and thousands of people are facing the day or going to bed starving. Children are not just starving they are terrified. Then add the violence women and children are being subjected...
This post isn't to make you feel bad, I know you are struggling too. But please share the fact that Woodstock Brewery is feeding tens of thousands of children and adults DAILY with volunteers but electricity, equipment, food EVERYTHING costs money. If you know any corporation, company, multinational etc that could possibly commit to donating substantially on a monthly basis then please ask them to contact Andre at Woodstock Brewery. I know everyone is sick and tired of doing the governments work for them but our people are starving and dying while government is busy trying to hide the TRILLIONS that they have stolen.
These are my opinions and not that of Woodstock Brewery. I'm just one of many South Africans that believe together anything is possible.
To those of you (and there are many) that have donated, THANK YOU. You have saved many people. Thank you, thank you.
Keep your heads held high you beautiful volunteers on the front lines.

Woodstock Brewery has repurposed it’s brewing equipment to make nutritious soup for those in need. With our large, efficient and safe brewing pots, we are able to make donations intended to feed those in need go a very, very long way. We use Woodstock Brewery staff, teams of volunteers, GCU stipen...

While everyone is dusting off their equipment to start brewing beer again, I was surprised to find Woodstock Brewery continuing to pump out high quality, nutritious soups for the starving masses of hungry people.
It's a tough industry at the best of times but I have got to tell you that seeing these volunteers and brewery staff chopping and prepping veg for the big kettles is a sight to behold. Obviouzly I would love to see some (if not all) of the great Obviouzly Armchair family picking up some brilliant beers from the Woodstock Brewery premises or placing an order with them.
There is still a long road to go, so please be safe and take care of yourselves and your community.
I'm proud and honored to do buissness with and work with people of this caliber.
Hope to see you all soon πŸ˜‰

As the new year is coming closer so does our last tour of 2018. Our first time in South Africa and as cream on the mashed potatoes (as we say in Sweden) we do it together with our dear friend Marcus Markandeya Berg! Honored and blessed to be able to explore music and share it with new people!

A million thanks to Agust Γ–rn Helgason for making this possible!
