Karl Tessendorf

This is Karl. He loves beer. He also loves fire and food and believes that if you are going to cook something, don’t do it in half measures. He’s a copywriter by day and in his dreams he braais and writes about beer for a living. When he’s not braaing and drinking beer, you can find him drinking beer and braaing.
