BOOZE & BEATS THE BEER – BEZWILL Hermanus-based Bezwil is the frothy love-child of two chinas Willem Bruyn and Andre Bezuidenhout. The two got tired of not being able to find beers they actually wanted to drink, so they started brewing their own beer for family and friends out of a garage, just like a young Bill Gates did with his first Microsoft Malt back in ‘75. Today, they brew three cracking beers that are available at select outlets in Gauteng and across the Overberg. Or you can just order from their website. bezwill.beer Overberg Weiss Made in the style of a traditional German Hefe Weizen, this refreshing, highly carbonated beer has a creamy mouth feel and a taste that brings together maltiness with banana, bubble gum and spicy clove elements. Best enjoyed in the Overberg along the banks of the Breede. 5% ABV Pale Wolf An American Pale Ale, Pale Wolf is a medium bodied beer with a light caramel and toasted malt taste. The use of citrus peels enhances the fruity, citrus aromas and flavours derived from the three varieties of American hops used. A clean fermenting ale yeast creates great balance between the malt and hops. Unmistakably drinkable, this is one of our favourite beers. 5% ABV Lucky Ale A medium bodied Irish Red Ale in the style of a Kilkenny, Lucky Ale sports an initial soft toffee and caramel sweetness, followed by floral English hops and a dry finish. Silky smooth and extremely drinkable. 4% ABV

THE BRANDY - JA NEE FOK Inspired by the shitshow of 2020 (and 2021 for that matter), this 5-year, oak-matured potstill brandy from Kindred Spirits is named after a unique Afrikaans expression that speaks to the fatalist ‘deal with it’ attitudes of South Africans of all cultures (the direct translation is ‘Yes No Fuck’). Seriously smooth and tasty, with notes of pear, raisin and hazelnut, Ja Nee Fok is as good on its own as it is with a mixer. Best enjoyed around a braai. kindredspirits.co.za
