The purpose of the Featured Friday Beer is to introduce you to a beer that you may otherwise overlook on the shelf. Something we have enjoyed and something we think you would enjoy. The beer we originally thought about for this week unfortunately just did not do it for us. So, we swiftly poured it

Friday Beer: Urban Brewing Co Monkey’s Paw Pilsner
We initially got hold of the guys at Urban Brewing Co to Feature their Oktoberfest Lager, a beer that won best Lager at the 2017 Cape Town Festival of Beer. The bad news, unfortunately there is one lonely bottle left (we’re not joking). The Good news, they were in fact brewing this very beer when
Friday Beer: Damnation Brewing Co Pilsner
A really quick beer fact to kick things off. Basically, there are two types of beer – Lagers and Ales. The yeasts and temperatures used during fermentation is what separates them. Within these two types of beer you have an ever growing number of styles. At the moment, according to the official BJCP (Beer Judging
Friday Beer: Hoptown BMC Lager
Welcome to February, bet you didn’t see that coming. We’re also pretty sure you didn’t expect to come here this week and find that we had actually followed through and come to the party with a Lager. Specifically the Hoptown BMC Lager, a “rich, characterful, pale lager, with considerable malt and hop character and a
Friday Beer: The Italian Job Forza IPA
One of the greatest aspects of craft beer are the stories behind it. You know, the classic “we started brewing in a garage at moms place” type scenario. With this in mind it was very pleasant to start digging into the story behind The Italian Job brewery and their Forza IPA. We’ve been through several
Friday Beer: Folk & Goode Dutch Courage IPA
We seem to be on a trend of breweries that don’t really want people to know too much about them. Information online about the Folk & Goode Dutch Courage IPA is pretty slim. That is however what we are here for. So, without further ado, what do we know about this brewery and this beer?
Friday Beer: Shields Funk Machine IPA
Occasionally an unexpectedly really good beer crosses our path. They come from a brewery we are unfamiliar with and manage to knock it out the park. This was our first experience with the Shields Funk Machine IPA. Up to all matter of beer geekery at Beerhouse on Long someone suggested we try it. So we
Friday Beer: Riot Valve IPA
Welcome to our final featured Friday Beer for the year – The Riot Valve IPA! Quite frankly even we are surprised we managed to get this blog post up (has been quite a treacherous Festive Season). Maybe give it a few days to try this one as you will need the aftertaste of Christmas Ham
Friday Beer: Karoo Craft Oryx Weiss
It’s Friday afternoon, it’s baking in Cape Town and you’re probably thinking about doing the weekly bottle store visit (or is that just us?). To help along this week we thought we would pick up a Karoo Craft Oryx Weiss. full disclosure, we’ve never tried this beer, or any of their beers before. Their packaging
Friday Beer: Mad Giant Urban Legend IPA
We’ve been on the hop train recently, maybe its because were heading into summer, maybe its because we’ve had our eyes opened recently, or maybe, just maybe, it’s because they are so. dam. good. This brings us to this weeks featured beer – The Mad Giant Urban Legend IPA. You’ve probably seen the beers on
