It is the Cape Town Festival of Beer this weekend and so, while at the launch, we went on the hunt for something exclusive. We assume that if you are in Cape Town and you read this blog that you will ultimately be making your way to the Festival at some point this weekend. And

Friday Beer – Metal Lane x Saggy Stone Champagne Citra Nova
Another week gone which means it’s time for the Friday Beer. This week we have something special from two of our favourite brewers. Murray Middleton and Matthew Bradley have clubbed together to brew the Metal Lane x Saggy Stone Champagne Citra Nova Brut IPA. And the beer is as good as the label might suggest.
Friday Beer – Mitchell’s Knysna Forester’s Lager
With temperatures across South Africa on the rise we thought it may be a good idea to feature a Lager this week. And it’s not just any Lager, it’s the gold winning Mitchell’s Knysna Forester’s Lager. Yes, this is another SANBT award winner and we think you’re really going to enjoy it. Having opened in 1983
Win Tickets to The Cape Town Festival of Beer 2018
Full disclosure, we are very involved with The Cape Town Festival of Beer. We’ve been part of the team for 5 years now and it has had a significant influence in what Barley&Hops is today. With all this said it also gives us access to tickets to give away. So that is exactly what we
Friday Beer: Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
We hope you might still be able to pick up this beer when this post goes live but even if you can’t, we’re happy to put it out there. This week’s Friday Beer is the independently imported Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA from the States. We will be honest, this wasn’t our first choice to feature
Friday Beer – St. Francis Brewing Co Kromme River Witbier
With the South African National Beer Trophy having taken place we’re still working through a long list of award winning beers.

Friday Beer: RHBC x Feral Brew Break and Enter NEIPA
We’re skeptical of writing about beers before we’ve tried them. It’s poor form and we wouldn’t want to recommend something that we wouldn’t buy ourselves. This weeks Friday Beer is a little different. At the time of writing we had not yet tried it, but when Mike Halls of The Real Beer Revolution is involved we’re
Friday Beer – Woodstock Brewery Acid Queen
It has been a good few months since we featured anything from the Woodstock Brewing Co. Something we almost feel bad about because of the seasonal release of this, the Woodstock Brewery Acid Queen. Released for, we think, the 3rd time a few weeks ago it’s a beer that could knock you and your taste buds
Friday Beer – Saggy Stone Brewer’s Small Batch Weizenbock
We would be lying if we said this hasn’t been one of our favourite beers recently. We enjoyed it so much we polished off the two that were sent to us and picked up two more the following day. This is this weeks Friday Beer and it is Saggy Stone Brewer’s Small Batch Weizenbock. And, spoiler,
Friday Beer – Atlantic Storm Black Tempest
We’re back at it! After putting in couple of calls we managed to get our hands on a couple of bottles of the award winning Atlantic Storm Black Tempest. Having just had fresh new SANBT stickers slapped on we are very happy to announce this Gold Winner is this weeks Friday Beer. The men behind
