The Decembruary cobwebs have been finally shaken off the majority of the population. This means the breweries are back into full production and the Festivals are beginning to kick off. April gets straight into it with the Fools&Fans Festival in Greyton (win tickets here), and then the 2019 Stellenbosch Craft Beer Festival on the 13th

Friday Beer – Devil’s Peak Conservation Lager
Although they get mentioned here in some way or form almost every other week this is the first Devil’s Peak beer to make the Friday Beer cut. It’s somewhat unbelievable actually. We’ve featured other brews that come out of the same brewery – Toast, Amundsen (RIP) and Mikkeller (get it while you can), to name
Win Tickets to the 2019 Fools & Fans Beer Festival
It’s been a while since we’ve given tickets away and it’s about time we rectify that. We dropped Trevor Gerntholtz, Founding Fool of the Fools & Fans Beer Festival a message. The request was simple. More people need to know about the destination Beer Festival that is the Fools & Fans and could we possibly
Friday Beer – RHBC Lemon Yellow Sun Hoppy Wheat Lager
After weeks of battling to get a regular flow of Friday Beers the drought seems to have finally come to an end. The Real Beer Revolution got hold of us on Wednesday with info that they had been allocated beer mule for the Richmond Hill Brewing Co. His package, the new RHBC Lemon Yellow Sun
Friday Beer – Stellenbosch Brewing Co. Pina Colada Scream IPA
We’re very proud of the fact that the Friday Beer series has been going for as long as it has. Some breweries have made as many as four appearances here. It gives a huge amount of credibility to the beers that they continue to produce; nailing it in terms of quality, consistency and variety. On
Friday Beer – ACBC x Dissident Brewing 1.21 Gigahops IPA
This weeks Friday Beer is a first on Barley&Hops. This is obviously not untrue of literally every other Friday Beer we have done in that they had not appeared on the blog before. This is different in that it is highly unlikely you will ever get to try this beer. It is the ACBC x
Friday Beer – Leopold 7 Amber Ale
This weeks Friday Beer has been flying under the radar for the last year or so. It first made an appearance at the Cape Town Festival of Beer in 2014 and if we’re 100% honest we don’t remember being blown away. We were actually quite worried it would be disappear into the ether as so
Friday Beer – Saggy Stone Brewer’s Small Batch Pilsner
We’ve got another 30 degree thirst quencher this week. It’s been one of those beers we have been trying to feature for a while. Unlike its predecessors it made a very quiet entry back at the end of November. We only know this because we were grovelling for a pint of the Champagne Citra Nova
Friday Beer – Hermanus Brewery Old Harbour Lager
With 35 degree days hitting Cape Town the need for ice cold Lagers is well upon us. Although, if Cape Town has its way we will have the horizontal rain on Saturday afternoon. Regardless, this weeks Friday Beer is good enough for even that. It is the Hermanus Brewery Old Harbour Lager. With roots not
Friday Beer – Toast Pale Ale
It’s that time of the year that we’re really battling to pull together Friday Beers. Very few breweries are putting out anything new so it’s not uncommon to find us pacing the local liquor store trying to make a plan. However, from time-to-time it hits us like a bar stool to the face. Beers that
