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
The 2nd Devil’s Peak Blockhouse Beer Ride
The 25th of January will see the 2nd Devil’s Peak Blockhouse Beer Ride take place. At the end of 2017 we had 30 riders make their way up to the Blockhouse with a whole lot of banter along the way (ride report here). This first Beer Ride of 2018 will see 40 riders do much
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
Friday Beer: Stellenbosch Brewing Co. Eike Stout
Welcome to life after the Cape Town Festival of Beer. We’ve taken most of the week to recover but we’re back! And we’re back with a particularly special beer. We would like to introduce you to the Stellenbosch Brewing Co and their Eike Stout. Why is it so special you may ask? Not only did
Friday Beer: Drifter Ocean Aged Tripel
Given the vast number of craft beers now available in the liquor stores it can be somewhat overwhelming in what to choose. Inevitably, because of pricing, we end up picking up much of the same because we know what we are getting. So, we’re going to start a featured Friday Beer spot to introduce new
Devil’s Peak Blockhouse Beer Ride Report
We were stoked to have 26 riders join us for the first Devil’s Peak Blockhouse Beer Ride with The Gear Change. Was quite a sight to see everyone winding their way up through Mowbray in Peak evening traffic. Some world class banter from all in what was a very pleasant trip up to the Blockhouse.
#raiseatoast to a New Brew
We hung out at Cafe Extrablatt in Greenpoint on Wednesday night for the launch of a new beer for South Africa. We say new for South Africa as it is a brand import from the UK. We say brand import as Devil’s Peak is brewing the beer locally under the established brand. There’s a great story
