We’ve been on the post Cape Town Festival of Beer path recently. Afraid this week is no different. This weeks beer sneaks up on us each year and we generally only catch it once it’s already out in the wild. It is an absolute beast of a beer and we’re going to be upfront in

Friday Beer – Drifter Brewing Co Madora Brown Ale
To say we were skeptical of this beer when we were told about it would be an understatement. “It’s made with what now?” was our first thought. When it comes to the reinheitsgebot German Purity law of beer, mopane worms don’t feature. However, after we trying it at the Cape Town Festival of Beer our
Win Tickets to The 2019 Woodstock Winter Beer Festival
The 2019 Woodstock Winter Festival returns to the Castle of Good Hope on the 27th of July. We made it to our first Festival last year and it was an absolutely cracking day. The brewers worked overtime, the beer flowed, the entertainment was great and the company was absolutely world-class. And we anticipate much of
Friday Beer – Drifter Brewing Co Cuppa
In their third appearance on the Barley&Hops blog this year comes the Drifter Brewing Co. Their frequency really a tribute to their ongoing innovations in creating new and interesting beers. This year alone they have done the Anything Gose Oyster Beer and the THE HUNT IS ON. Both which were great beers. And so, it’s
Friday Beer – Zwakala Brewery Moringa Africa Ale
We’re ashamed to say that this is the first solo appearance Zwakala Brewery has made on Barley&Hops. Based in Limpopo they have been operating since 2015 and have been creating some really good beers. We haven’t met the crew from Zwakala but given how highly the Drifter crowd speak of them we assume they’re equally
Friday Beer – Drifter Brewing Co THE HUNT IS ON
Here we find ourselves heading into the first weekend of April. With it comes the Fools & Fans Beer Festival taking place this weekend in April. We wanted to make sure we featured a beer that would be available not just at the Festival but also to those who won’t be able to make it
Win Tickets to the 2019 Fools & Fans Beer Festival
It’s been a while since we’ve given tickets away and it’s about time we rectify that. We dropped Trevor Gerntholtz, Founding Fool of the Fools & Fans Beer Festival a message. The request was simple. More people need to know about the destination Beer Festival that is the Fools & Fans and could we possibly
Friday Beer – Drifter x Migration Anything Gose Oyster Beer
We’re going to start this weeks post off with a confession. We haven’t actually tried this weeks beer but we think that’s okay. It could be terrible but if history is anything to go by it probably won’t be. It’s another collaboration from the Drifter Brewing Co, it’s the Drifter x Migration Anything Gose Oyster
The Barley&Hops Christmas 6-Pack.
We’ve been literally inundated with two messages asking what beers we would recommend for Christmas Gifts. So we thought we would put it down for anyone else that might be looking. This is the Barley&Hops Christmas 6-Pack that we would be excited to find under the Christmas tree. If there are other beers you think
Friday Beer: Drifter Off The Dock Doppelbock
It’s really no surprise that we are fans of the Drifter Brewing Co crew. They are a tremendously fun bunch to spend time with, but more than that, they’ve always got some interesting new brew up their sleeves. This, the Drifter Off The Dock Doppelbock is actually the fourth Friday Beer we’ve featured from them (you
