BAR DI BAR, SECOND WIND 

Bar Di Bar, the original mobile craft beer truck is now on Jumpstarter Crowdfunding. The fairytale that started with the 1975 VW Kombi bar conversion has come to a crosrsoads, with no happy ending in sight. We lost our home and our brewery and have come to the people via Jumpstarter Crowdfunding to see if they can brew some magic. Let’s start at the beginning.  

If you Google “Hipster”, you’ll find several descriptions, but the one that rings most true is from Urban Dictionary. It categorizes Hipsters as  “A subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's who value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter.” 

So one night, after sampling several of South Africa’s finest craft beers and talking about progressive politics, indie-rock, creativity blah di blah….the idea of a “hipster mobile” was born. What if we take something old, make it look new and add something cool? One beer led to another and Bar Di Bar became a reality. 

Fast forward 2,5 years and we managed to successfully open a Craft Beer and Tapas Bar, contracted our very own American Pale Ale (APA) and were 80% completed and on our way to opening our brewery. The universe had other plans and on the 22nd December 2016, disaster struck. The liquor license got declined, the farm we were on changed hands and we were handed notice. Blood sweat and tears and lots of our hard earned savings went into the project and now we are left with nothing. 

“I saw one of my favourite local bands, f@k#fpolisiekar, using crowd funding very successfully for the launch of their first independent album in 11 years and thought let’s give it a go.” Says owner Conrad Harley. “We have big plans. The brand is solid and really interesting and with a little help, things could snowball and we could see more than one Bar Di Bar in South Africa.” He continues. We have staggered the fundraising process to buy kegs, which then allows us to contract brew and distribute to trade.

We would then continue to target key events in Johannesburg and launch our APA up north.It’s not all about giving as we also created a fun and engaging reward structure for those willing to assist with level three donors receiving a “don’t worry, be hoppy” shirt for every R200 donated. The ultimate goal is to have our own brewery, so although we are not using this platform to raise funds for the brewery, it could just provide the impetus necessary to get there.

- Milan-based artistic duo “Carnovsky” uses its “RGB” signature to bring multiple visions of Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège -  

Johannesburg, Friday, 03 March 2017 – In the brand’s first foray into the world of virtual animation with its limited editions, Hennessy celebrates its latest V.S.O.P Privilège Limited Edition series experimenting a crossover between art and design with a new design crafted by “Carnovsky”. Comprising couple in art and life of Italian-born Francesco Rugi and Colombian-born Silvia Quintanilla, a team since they founded their Milan studio ten years ago in 2006, “Carnovsky” have created a storm in the world of art by creating a process that blends both 17th century illustrations with what they’ve named the ‘RGB Project’.  

“Within Hennessy’s traditions is an unwavering quest for continuous support for the arts. As cognac creators, we believe in a designer’s creative process. As a result Hennessy’s interest in art is longstanding and genuine. With this V.S.O.P Privilège Limited Edition, we wanted to make sure we retain its unique identity with an exceptional portrait. “Carnovsky” couldn’t have better represented our ambition,” said Michael Ellingworth, Hennessy Cognac Marketing Manager for South Africa.  

To illustrate the fundamental elements of cognac making – sun, earth, grapes, and water – as well as symbols representing Hennessy’s mastery such as its coat of arms or the compass, “Carnovsky” selected these patterns and images that strike deep into the heart of this historic house.  

In continuing a legacy of artistic collaboration that spans centuries, Hennessy’s latest collaboration with Milan-based artistic duo “Carnovsky” celebrates Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège legacy through the unique use of a digital technique so named for the virtual world’s primary colours – red, green, and blue. The colour red symbolises the energies and forces involved in creating VSOP Privilege; green is about the origin of the cognac – nature and the fruit; and blue is the dreamscape of a sensory journey and the experience of tasting VSOP Privilege. The duo went on to create a virtual animation image that told the story of Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilege cognac in layers and rendered it in ‘RGB’ to illustrate the origin and spirit of Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilége. The result is multiple images that coexist harmoniously to the naked eye.    

The world’s first and favourite V.S.O.P Cognac blend, Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège has special notes of French oak, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, and candied fruits. A versatile cognac characterised by its well-loved aromas, fine balance of richness and smoothness, and long-lasting finish the Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège flavours are extremely calm on the palate and all the way through.  

The 750ml bottle retails at R649.95 and will be available at Makro stores in March and all the other major liquor outlets in April.  For more information about the Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège Limited Edition bottle by “Carnovsky”, visit www.hennessy.com.  Follow Hennessy on Facebook (HennessySouthAfrica) and Instagram (@HennessySA).

About Hennessy
In 2015, the Maison Hennessy celebrated 250 years of an exceptional adventure that has linked two families for seven generations, the Hennessys and the Fillioux, and spanned five continents. It began in the French region of Cognac, the seat from which the Maison has constantly passed down the best the land has to give, from one generation to the next. Such longevity is thanks to those people, past and present, who have ensured Hennessy’s success both locally and around the world. Hennessy’s success and longevity are also the result of the values the Maison has upheld since its creation: unique savoir-faire, a constant quest for innovation, and an unwavering commitment to Creation, Excellence, Legacy, and Sustainable Development. Today, these qualities are the hallmark of the Maison – a crown jewel in the LVMH Group – that crafts one of the most iconic, prestigious Cognacs in the world. Hennessy is imported and distributed in South Africa by the Really Great brand Company. Hennessy distills, ages and blends spanning a full range: Hennessy V.S, Privilege V.S.O.P, X.O, Paradis, Paradis Imperial and Richard Hennessy.
