Metal Lane Brewery is one of the newest kids on the block having only started brewing in 2017. In that very short period of time they’ve made short work of winning a handful of awards and establishing themselves within the craft beer industry. Lead by brewer Murray Middleton (great name!), they are out to make

Friday Beer: Ukhamba Beerworx Pursuit of Hoppyness Black IPA
Another brewery coming out of Woodstock and producing some really tasty beers is Ukhamba Beerworx. Lead by Brewer Lethu Tshabangu, they have been making waves in their brief existence. We dropped into the brewery to see what they had done and to meet Lethu. We’re glad we did. A fantastically humble and passionate brewer. The
Friday Beer: Drifter Brewing Co Water Restriction Gose
We featured the Drifter Brewing Co back in December when they released their Ocean Aged Tripel. This week we thought we would put a focus on a new and limited beer that they have been brewing, the Drifter Brewing Co Water Restriction Gose. A beer that consists of 8% authentic Atlantic sea water. It’s no
Fools and Fans Beer Festival 2018
We spent a day out at Old Potters Brewhouse recently. A fantastic place in Greyton and the driving force behind the upcoming Fools and Fans Beer Festival. The Festival is taking place on the 7th of April and will feature over 15 breweries, homebrew judging, wine and gin stalls, food stalls and live music. All-in-all
Friday Beer: Old Potters Brewhouse “Plaas Japie” Saison
The type of brewery we are featuring this week is one we love to write about. It’s an enthusiastic, relatively young brewery who is producing great beers and working hard to make sure people know about them. Based in Greyton we are of course talking about the Old Potters Brewhouse. We’ve spent a fair bit
Friday Beer: Helderberg Breweries Sultana Wheat Ale
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: 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?
