Beer Country

Beer Country consists of brothers-in-law duo Greg Gilowey and Karl Tessendorf. The two were runners-up on the first season of the Ultimate Braai Master TV show and have since given up their full time jobs as an industrial designer and a copywriter, to follow their food dream. Now they spend their days exploring the world of craft beer, and pairing these with blow-your-mind food cooked outdoors over the coals. Watch out for Beer Country the TV show, airing 2015.
