Every so often a new brewery crops up out of nowhere and they just seem to have all the right recipes going for them. You then have a chance to meet the brewer who turns out to be one of the most humble and modest out there. This was our first impression of the Aegir

Friday Beer: Metal Lane Pale Ale
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: 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
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: 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: 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
