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

Friday Beer – Devil’s Peak Conservation Lager
Although they get mentioned here in some way or form almost every other week this is the first Devil’s Peak beer to make the Friday Beer cut. It’s somewhat unbelievable actually. We’ve featured other brews that come out of the same brewery – Toast, Amundsen (RIP) and Mikkeller (get it while you can), to name
Friday Beer – RHBC Lemon Yellow Sun Hoppy Wheat Lager
After weeks of battling to get a regular flow of Friday Beers the drought seems to have finally come to an end. The Real Beer Revolution got hold of us on Wednesday with info that they had been allocated beer mule for the Richmond Hill Brewing Co. His package, the new RHBC Lemon Yellow Sun

Yes, this is another SANBT award winner and we think you’re really going to enjoy it. Having opened in 1983

A couple of weeks ago during Beerhouse on Long’s 5th Birthday they hosted a talk on “The State of the Beer”. The panel consisted of Nick Reid (Soul Barrel Brewing Co), Steve Miller (Garagista, FYI, they’re for sale), Lucy Corne (The Brewmistress) and Brewmaster Wolfgang Koedel (Cape Brewing Co). An interesting discussion topped off with
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
