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
Friday Beer – Drifter x Migration Anything Gose Oyster Beer
We’re going to start this weeks post off with a confession. We haven’t actually tried this weeks beer but we think that’s okay. It could be terrible but if history is anything to go by it probably won’t be. It’s another collaboration from the Drifter Brewing Co, it’s the Drifter x Migration Anything Gose Oyster
Friday Beer – Hoghouse Brewing Co. Worthog IPA
No longer available for purchase from bottle stores this weeks Friday Beer is available almost exclusively from the brewery. This in itself is not necessarily a bad thing as said brewery is The Hoghouse in Ndabeni, Cape Town. It’s been a favourite dinner location of ours for a while so we’re glad to finally get
Friday Beer – Richmond Hill x Afro Caribbean DDH Black IPA
A year ago had you asked us about the Richmond Hill Brewing Co we would have had very little to enlighten you with. Since then however there has been a spate of really good beers from them. The Enter NEIPA collab with Feral Brewing that we featured back in October was one of our favourite
Friday Beer – Fierce Moose Mousse Chocolate Stout
We’re taking a pretty slow approach to the Friday Beers for the start of 2019. Everyone is by now back at work and trying to get into the swing of things – it’s hard, we know. Not even the breweries are putting anything new out this month. So we dug through the Barley&Hops Beer Fridge
Friday Beer – Ukhamba Section 25 Lager
A couple of months after moving in with Devil’s Peak brewer Lethu Tshabangu has released a new beer. The Ukhamba Section 25 Lager was dropped off at Barley&Hops HQ a couple of weeks back along with a much appreciated piece of brewery swag (thanks!). We’ve had it chilling since then just in time to kick off
Friday Beer – Striped Horse Pale Ale
Shoh! Our little Christmas giveaway went significantly better than we could have ever expected. With almost 300 entries it makes us feel like we need to do it more frequently. Until then we will crack on with the Friday Beer. This week we wanted something really sessionable that you can get stuck into post Christmas.
