Mike Halls of the Real Beer revolution has fired up his gypsy brewery again. This time at the Shackleton Brewing Co in Salt River. And it’s always quite exciting when Mike does get brewing. He is his own biggest critic, and truth be told, everyone elses. He has a habit of getting under brewers skin

Friday Beer: Lakeside Brewing Misty Cliffs Hazy IPA
Truth be told we were going to put another Devil’s Peak beer out this week (guess which one…). They have however recently made an appearance here so expect that next week. Instead we opted for a beer that has been doing the rounds amongst the beer crowd in Cape Town. We were positive we had
Friday Beer – Camelthorn Brewing IPA
This weeks Friday Beer has been in the pipeline for a really long time. Its release has been teased for months so we’re glad to see it has all finally reached the local fridges. And quite frankly it’s also nice to see another IPA available in South Africa. It may be brewed by Namibian Breweries
Friday Beer – Stellenbosch Brewing Co. Pina Colada Scream IPA
We’re very proud of the fact that the Friday Beer series has been going for as long as it has. Some breweries have made as many as four appearances here. It gives a huge amount of credibility to the beers that they continue to produce; nailing it in terms of quality, consistency and variety. On
Friday Beer – ACBC x Dissident Brewing 1.21 Gigahops IPA
This weeks Friday Beer is a first on Barley&Hops. This is obviously not untrue of literally every other Friday Beer we have done in that they had not appeared on the blog before. This is different in that it is highly unlikely you will ever get to try this beer. It is the ACBC x
Friday Beer – Hoghouse Brewing Co. Worthog IPA
No longer available for purchase from bottle stores this weeks Friday Beer is available almost exclusively from the brewery. This in itself is not necessarily a bad thing as said brewery is The Hoghouse in Ndabeni, Cape Town. It’s been a favourite dinner location of ours for a while so we’re glad to finally get
Friday Beer – Richmond Hill x Afro Caribbean DDH Black IPA
A year ago had you asked us about the Richmond Hill Brewing Co we would have had very little to enlighten you with. Since then however there has been a spate of really good beers from them. The Enter NEIPA collab with Feral Brewing that we featured back in October was one of our favourite
Friday Beer – Metal Lane x Saggy Stone Champagne Citra Nova
Another week gone which means it’s time for the Friday Beer. This week we have something special from two of our favourite brewers. Murray Middleton and Matthew Bradley have clubbed together to brew the Metal Lane x Saggy Stone Champagne Citra Nova Brut IPA. And the beer is as good as the label might suggest.
Friday Beer: Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
We hope you might still be able to pick up this beer when this post goes live but even if you can’t, we’re happy to put it out there. This week’s Friday Beer is the independently imported Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA from the States. We will be honest, this wasn’t our first choice to feature
Friday Beer – Vedett Extra Ordinary IPA
With the SANBT having just taken place we were hoping to feature another local winner this week. On visiting our local bottle-store however this gold medalist had completely sold out, so you’re going to have to keep an eye out for it next week. We’re still very pleased with this weeks Friday Beer, it’s not
