Brace yourselves folks. This weeks write up is a bit of a read. This may have been our mistake from the start. The problem is when you ask a brewer to write 300-350 about their beer, they casually throw caution to the wind and send 650. We thought about cutting it down but truth be

Friday Beer – Hoegaarden Witbier
We’re going to kick things off with a confession. We’ve had a lot of this beer. A lot. There’s a good reason why it is the most awarded wheat beer in World Beer Cup history. It is a fantastic beer made better by how readily available it is in bottle-stores and on tap in South
Friday Beer – Devil's Peak Grapefruit IPA
February has started with a bang. A big old grapefruit infused bang. The sort of bang that smokes you in the face and leaves you wanting more. It’s not the first time this beer has appeared from this brewery, but it does appear to be making a more permanent reappearance. At least we really hope
Friday Beer – Saggy Stone Brut IPA
Well, this is a problematic Friday Beer. We’ve never done this before and it feels somewhat strange doing it now. We are however throwing caution to the wind and going for it. Why? Because this is the second incarnation of the Metal Lane x Saggy Stone Champagne Citra Nova. Featured back in 2018, god it
Friday Beer – Chester’s Lager
The Lager train continues this week with a bitter sweet beer from a legend who passed away not that long ago. He was not only a Rugby World Cup winning Springbok but also a man who did far more than was ever asked of him to give back to the community. And that’s the crux
Friday Beer – Woodstock Brewery Happy Pills
With temperatures starting to hit the low 30’s in Cape Town it is time to break out the Lagers. Lagers are the thirst quenchers on those hot days. Its for this very reason that the balmy army got through so much of the stuff during the cricket earlier in the month. Depending on how long
Friday Beer – Kennel Brewery Adopt a Dog Blonde Ale
We’ve got a whole lot of Lagers and Pilsners coming up over the next few weeks but we wanted to squeeze this one through. It’s a new year and for a lot of people that comes with new goals. One of those, and we’ve seen it first hand, is to get a dog. We’re not
Friday Beer – Leffe Belgium Blonde
South Africans like their beer. There’s really no groundbreaking epiphanies taking place there. The smart people who sell beer know this and are always looking at new opportunities to sell beer to them. We’re at a point now that we really are spoilt for choice. And it’s not just beer, it’s really good beer. Amongst
Friday Beer – Franschhoek Beer Co. Lager
We mentioned last month that this brewery would be making a few appearances. And here it is, back again with the Franschhoek Beer Co. Lager. January is obviously here and you’re going to need a few good lagers to get you through these hot summer days. We’ve feature a fair few Lagers since the inception
Friday Beer – Darling x Beer Country Blood Moon Pale Ale
We’re into that phase of our holiday where doing anything more than having a cold beer is hard work. With that said we thought we would outsource this weeks Friday Beer. And so, straight from the horses mouth this weeks write up comes from Greg Gilowey of Beer Country on their recent Darling x Beer
