We’ve been literally inundated with two messages asking what beers we would recommend for Christmas Gifts. So we thought we would put it down for anyone else that might be looking. This is the Barley&Hops Christmas 6-Pack that we would be excited to find under the Christmas tree. If there are other beers you think

Friday Beer – Darling Brew Pixie Dust
In their second appearance on the Barley&Hops Beer Blog is the Darling Brew Pixie Dust. Having just been released the seasonal Pixie Dust Golden Weiss performed well over the past weekend at the Cape Town Festival of Beer. Coming in 3rd the Pixie Dust had some pretty stiff competition so we’re glad to have it feature
Friday Beer – Fraser’s Folly Wild Raspberry Sour
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

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. This week, we’ve got the beer that took the crown of “Best Wheat Beer”; the St. Francis Brewing Co Kromme River Witbier. St. Francis Brewing Co itself was started by Lance and Linky Kabot after
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
