SOUTH AFRICA

Crafting Legends & Trendy Taps

Newlands Brewery 

Newlands Brewery, dating back to 1820 is the oldest operating brewery in South Africa and the home of great South African Beer. Today, the company brews 9 famous brands, each one specially crafted using time-honoured brewing techniques. Brewery tours are available and take about an hour. Newlands Spring Brewing Co. follows the journey of beer from its beginning as a grain, to its end as a well-crafted, ice-cold treasure, fittingly ending with a beer tasting and a couple of pints in the brewery’s historic pub.

Woodstock Brewery 

The company has been brewing beer since 2014 and has a wide variety on offer. Woodstock believes that great beer requires seriousness: the best ingredients, dedicated arty crafters, the right equipment and “gees” and “stokedness”. Beer names, on the other hand, are all “giggles, sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll”. They have entwined some tongue-in-cheek lightness into their serious craft. We invite you to come and take a tour, sample their brews and follow that experience by enjoying a Bavarian Beerhall style restaurant.

Aegir Project (Independent Brewery)

Aegir Project in Noordhoek (Southern Peninsula) is relatively new and trendy. The brewery was founded with one simple goal: to make real beer, properly. That means, using only the best quality hops, malts, yeasts and water. No additives, no preservatives, no shortcuts – ever. Aegir Project is pouring time, care and love into every detail of production: from how they brew, to the artwork they put on the packaging, to the feeling you get when you take that first sip of an Aegir Project pint. High-quality, authentic beer that’s both innovative and approachable. 11 beers are being served on tap.
