We have been heckling this particular brewer for the better part of a year to feature his beer. We first met him just before the Fools&Fans Beer Festival in 2018, we think somewhere in the region of Afro Carribean – it’s a pretty good haunt for meeting interesting beer people. His name, Paul Freyson, and

Friday Beer – Devil’s Peak Blockhouse IPA
When we first started the Friday Beer series the vast majority of the beers were staples. Beers that were available year round and part of a core brewery offering. 81 Friday Beer posts later and we’re throwing it back to the core range. This Devil’s Peak Blockhouse IPA has been reinvigorated and given a new
Friday Beer – Melaurea Mead Braggot Pale Ale
Yes, we know. There is a lot going on with this weeks Friday Beer. Is it a Mead? A Pale Ale? Braggot? Well, to try and be as concise as possible. Mead has no barley or hops. Braggot can have hops (but not always). And a Pale Ale is everything we try to stand for
Friday Beer – RHBC That Girl Oatmeal Stout
Let us paint the scene for you. You’re somewhere up the West Coast, it’s seven o’clock in the evening, your southern regions are freezing, and you’re beginning to regret the two hours between you and the comfort of your own home. Suddenly the fireplace bursts into life. And suddenly everything is right with the world.

Win Tickets to The 2019 Woodstock Winter Beer Festival
The 2019 Woodstock Winter Festival returns to the Castle of Good Hope on the 27th of July. We made it to our first Festival last year and it was an absolutely cracking day. The brewers worked overtime, the beer flowed, the entertainment was great and the company was absolutely world-class. And we anticipate much of
Friday Beer – Drifter Brewing Co Cuppa
In their third appearance on the Barley&Hops blog this year comes the Drifter Brewing Co. Their frequency really a tribute to their ongoing innovations in creating new and interesting beers. This year alone they have done the Anything Gose Oyster Beer and the THE HUNT IS ON. Both which were great beers. And so, it’s
Friday Beer – Saggy Stone Brewer’s Small Batch Witbier
We’ve almost hit a point with a lot of breweries in South Africa in that when they send us beer we’re pretty sure it will be good. It may not be winning Gold awards but Silver and Bronze, sure. We’re not speaking specifically to Saggy Stone here we’re simply highlighting the point that we’re excited
Friday Beer – Shackleton Brewing Co Kolsch
Shoh, we have lost count of the number of times we have had discussions with Brewer and Owner Stephen Peel to feature his beer. We suspect he is terribly ADD and simply gets sidetracked by the slightest whiff of fresh hops. No matter, we found out that his beers were being canned at the Drifter
Friday Beer – Feral Brew My City IPA
Mike Halls of the Real Beer revolution has fired up his gypsy brewery again. This time at the Shackleton Brewing Co in Salt River. And it’s always quite exciting when Mike does get brewing. He is his own biggest critic, and truth be told, everyone elses. He has a habit of getting under brewers skin
