Well, here we are, restarting the Friday Beer for what feels like the third time this year. But quite frankly, thank god for beer. How else would we have navigated 2020? Breweries have obviously taken a hammering so expect to see fewer Friday Beers over the next few months. We were thrilled when Matt Savage
Friday Beer – Afro Caribbean Lagerfarian
Here’s something we never thought we would be doing in the middle of winter. While the rain comes down and the temperature has plummeted in Cape Town we find ourselves sitting here pondering what we are doing. We’re used to putting out dark and heavy beers in winter. The porters, the stouts and all the
Friday Beer – Jack Black’s Session Fresh Hop IPA
The world is a pretty weird place. Someone asked the other day if we were working from home or living at work? With the inability to go down to the local for a couple of beers with colleagues after work this means the pub is now also at home. Dial into the Zoom call for
Friday Beer – Saggy Stone Brewer’s Small Batch Brut Lager
The Saggy Stone Brewer’s Small Batch Series has been something we have enjoyed since the start. So much so that Batch #002, the Weizenbock, was part of our recommended Christmas 6-pack back in 2018. It’s good. So when Liam Mc Elhinney drops a line and says there is a new one we can’t help but
Friday Beer – Afro Caribbean Agent Hillary Rye IPA
Unlike so many of the beers from this particular brewery that we have featured, there is a not insignificant quantity of this beer still available. Afro Caribbean Agent Hillary Rye IPA is a fantastic beer and we’re glad that we not only get to feature it this week but that you can order the beer
Friday Beer – Jack Black’s Cape Pale Ale
Welcome back to the Friday Beer. Over time we have tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to improve various aspects of Barley&Hops. You only learn by doing and it’s totally okay to fail from time-to-time. This weeks brewery has made a change that we’re pretty sure will stand the test of time. It’s Jack Black’s Cape Pale Ale
Friday Beer – Saggy Stone Brut IPA Sabro
We can’t be the only ones who spent the weekend ahead of Level 3 perusing the various breweries online. We’ve also been feeling the pressure to reinvigorate the Friday Beer series after having gone into hibernation for the last couple of months. We’re really sorry about that by the way. But we’re back and on
Friday Beer – Devil's Peak Brewing Co Non-Alcoholic Hero
So well, s&^t, here we are. This was never a position we thought we would find ourselves in. In the two (three) years that we have been working on Barley&Hops we’ve learnt a lot. Not always positive but we’ve learnt things all the same. This one we’re pegging up to a learning, and little bit
Friday Beer – Jack Black's Original Brewers Lager
It’s Thursday evening, you’ve managed to get out of the office with a few colleagues to appreciate everything that has happened over the past week (good and bad). You get home feeling good about the people you work with, the stuff you do, where you work and that in this day and age you’re employed
Friday Beer – Devil's Peak Afro Funk Barrel-Aged Sour Vol. 3
We’ll start of by saying these beers are not for everyone. And we’re okay in saying that because for the last two years we’ve put out beers that we think are for everyone. Everyone who enjoys beer anyway. This beer, and the rest of the Afro Funk series may not be. Not right now anyway,
