Get Local, Brew
We all know the sound... Tschhhk, followed by a fizzy hiss of deliciousness. Nothing quite beats the sound of cracking open a crisp, cold brewsky. We thought we'd give the people what they want and champion some local breweries making waves of deliciousness! Needless to say... We had fun 'researching' this one.

THAT BREWING CO.'S
Cracking forth from the beak of a cheeky toucan, is their New England IPA; ‘El Juicy’. A collision of fruity and hoppy that crafts together a highly drinkable IPA. Take a whiff and you might find yourself suddenly transported to a tropical beach wearing banana baggies, holding an inflatable unicorn. The sweet and fruity flavours are brought out by the glen of malt, water and hops dominating over bitterness and producing a unique hopfruit salad.

Darling Brew’s
‘Pixie Dust’
A seductive smooth Weiss with a blend of banana, citrus, clove, and floral undertones. A classic Weissbier golden in colour with a citrusy hop and mild bitterness. Yeasty smooth mouthfeel and a cloudy, tight foam. The perfect thirst-quencher reminiscent of spring and summer days with flowers and bees.
Aromas: Banana, ripe pear, and bubblegum, with spicy clove. Floral and Citrus hop aromas carried on a lively carbonation. Flavours: Very smooth, with a light to medium body. Flavours mimic aromas. With distinct malt flavor and not-quite-dry finish; bitterness is mild
INSPIRED BY THE CAPE HONEYBEE
Darling Brew was conceptualised in the beautiful outdoors and their beers have subsequently been brewed to be enjoyed out in nature - which is also where they have the privilege of encountering our planet's awesome creatures on our journeys around the globe.
Saggy Stone’s
California Steam
The California Steam was one of the first recipes that the two brothers (Phil & Adrian) came up with during their ‘home’ brewing days. Before Saggy Stone Brewery became commercial, the California Steam was our most loved beer and is based on a California common-style beer.
Using only the highest quality malts from Belgium and hops from America, with just one sip of our California Steam, you will be hit with an initial punch of fruit guava and toasty malt, making way for a medley of sweet malt, caramel, and subtle fruit flavour to warm your soul. Best served in a tulip or brandy balloon glass, paired with spicy chicken or frankfurters and mustard…yum! Being one of their strongest beers, with an ABV of 6%, this beer is not for the light-hearted craft beer drinkers, but rather for the die-hard fans looking for something full of flavour, as opposed to the other mass-produced light lagers.

Sxollie Xider
A very inviting pale golden colour with a subtle sparkle and hint of the apple it's made from. The flavour is balanced by a natural floral sweetness, subtle yeastiness and sour tropical fruit notes with a little lick of toffee apple towards the end, making you come back for more, every time. Crafted using only famous, single varietal apples locally sourced from one grower in the Elgin Valley, Western Cape, S.A. They can tell you the exact orchard and block from where their apples are grown.
You haven’t tasted SXOLLIE Golden Delicious until you’ve tasted it with seafood. The golden liquid bursting with subtle bubbles and sour tropical fruit notes balances beautifully with the mild, slightly sweet taste of scallops, calamari and octopus. Go on. Dive in and submerge your taste buds in deliciousness. Golden deliciousness.
Cape Brewing Co’s
(Known to their loyal followers as CBC.)
Enjoy CBC's German-style craft Amber Weissbier, a fruity and aromatic beer with flavours of banana and clove, followed by a delicate bitter finish. Check out CBC’s total rebrand of their labels and packaging too. They wanted to keep the brand lively, fun, energetic but with their traditional values reflected in the product, to great success, we think!

Richmond Hill Brewing CO.'S
"Our very own local surfing legend, John Scheepers, has been tearing up PE’s surf since the beginning of time itself. This amber ale has been brewed to celebrate him and all he has done for the surfing community. With the beer’s tropical aroma of naartije, litchi and passion fruit together with a rich caramel flavour that finishes up dry, it would be a sin to deny yourself a pint while watching the sets roll in. ABV 4.1%

Lakeside Brewing Co’s
‘Supernova’
A well-balanced brewsky that klaps with a glorious caramel-coffee-toffee malty flavour. You can bet your fun socks this Porter style beer’s unlike anything you’ve ever had. It’s dark, it’s delicious, its creamy head lingers like the last person wanting to leave a party – and after a few of these, you could be.
A beer for the wild and free at heart, they created a new look ‘n feel that captures that essence, weaving a story that Lakeside beers can, and should, be enjoyed in the great outdoors. And because no two adventures are ever alike, there’s a beer especially brewed for each one.
