Friday Beer – Franschhoek Beer Co. Barrel Aged Stout

It’s that time of year where people are frantically trying to find last minute gifts for their loved ones. Perhaps those loved ones are of the Barley&Hops variety and can appreciate good beer. Perhaps said loved ones would appreciate an interesting brew in their stocking. And perhaps we have just the beer for them. It’s

Friday Beer – 400 Brewing Harambe Vol. 4

We’ve been on the post Cape Town Festival of Beer path recently. Afraid this week is no different. This weeks beer sneaks up on us each year and we generally only catch it once it’s already out in the wild. It is an absolute beast of a beer and we’re going to be upfront in

Friday Beer – Drifter Brewing Co Madora Brown Ale

To say we were skeptical of this beer when we were told about it would be an understatement. “It’s made with what now?” was our first thought. When it comes to the reinheitsgebot German Purity law of beer, mopane worms don’t feature. However, after we trying it at the Cape Town Festival of Beer our

Friday Beer – Jack Black’s Mega Ale

We wrote a couple of weeks ago how the breweries had all been very quiet. Our suspicion was that the brewers had been locked up to do what they do best. Coming up for air, water, nutrition and to see their families were all luxuries they simply couldn’t afford. Our suspicion proved mostly true –

Friday Beer – Red Rock Barrel-Aged Dark Lager

We don’t get to do this nearly as much as we would like to anymore. Saying that, it is tremendously exciting when we do get to. We are, of course, talking about introducing a new brewery to the Barley&Hops Friday Beer feature. This week, and for the first time, we have the Red Rock Barrel-Aged

Win Tickets to the 2019 Cape Town Festival of Beer

For those who are unfamiliar with the origins of Barley&Hops, it all has to do with the Cape Town Festival of Beer. We spent five years helping run it; getting to know the breweries, the fantastic people that run them, and enjoying a whole lot of beer. We always wanted to make sure we had

Friday Beer – Hey Joe Brewing Co Belgian Cherry

After a recent Friday Beer feature Evan Hamlyn, Brand Manager at Hey Joe Brewing, reached out. He said they had a new cherry brew and wanted to get it to us. It’s two of our favourite things; breweries keeping up-to-date with the Friday Beer, and reaching out with new beers that they feel more people

Friday Beer – RHBC x Afro Caribbean DDH Westcoast IPA

We’ve typed out this first sentence several times to try and adequately express how we feel about the beer industry at the moment. A couple of months ago we were inundated with multiple new and interesting beers. So much so that we had a back log of Friday Beers to get through. At the moment

Friday Beer – Darling Brew Cherry Bone Crusher

We’re afraid to say that this weeks Friday Beer is a beer we really hoped we would never write about. We’re going to be frank and not beat around the bush. It’s not great. We were not going to write about it at all but we thought that it was actually important to do so.

Hey Joe Brewing Co Lavender Honey Saison Read More

Friday Beer – Hey Joe Brewing Co Lavender Honey Saison

This brewery has been making waves since they opened. This may have had something to do with the fact that it took them so long to open. But since they have they’ve been making waves. For anyone that now visits Franschhoek they are a staple and obligatory stop. We’ve only made it there once but
