The Craft Beer Thread

[Necropolis]

Went for some craft but ended up with this.

Not a fan.

Do I order takeaways and open another beer or take this last swig and make dinner..............................

At the Blaauklippen market. They selling two Kwaks plus the Kwak glass and stand gift set for R350

Did you get it?

 

[dualmeister]

Nah was out on the table in the heat. Won't touch it unless stored correctly.

 

[dualmeister]

PS was this.

I just see a glass that's a hassle to wash & dry . I'll take the beers tho.

 

[dualmeister]

Hehe

Poured two beers down the sink today, smelled wrong.

Got it from a large wine shop in Hermanus but they're stored on the shelf rather than in a fridge. Guess they need a bit of education. They're treating it like it's wine.

Happy page 100!!!

Was at Beerhouse in Fourways yesterday, standout beers had to be both the guest taps I tried:

Harviestoun Schiehallion: was advertised as a pilsner and although it had the crispness of a pilsner there's a definite grapefruity taste to it. Probably wrong to say it was a pilsner and may have coloured my expectation
Brewdog Libertine Black Ale: OM ****ing G, this beer on tap is a masterpiece, the bottle is good no doubt but on tap it is utterly fantastic. One sip gives you about 3min of varying tastes, truly amazing.

... and happy page 38 for some others

Says it's a pale ale but there is absolutely nothing there, this is the Castle Light of craft beers...

They'll sell millions so expect to see it in a restaurant near you very soon

Enjoying a nice IPA with sushi tonight. A surprisingly good combo

Will give it a try, I do like a good IPA or any ale for that matter.

 

[Quantum Theory]

That'll do... DP King's Blockhouse. Always a winner.

 

[Rouxenator]

I'm beginning to think IPA goes well with most dishes. Had some Friday IPA last night with spaghetti bolognese, excellent combo.

 

[EchoZA]

IPA all the way, waiting on 46 litres to condition

Looking forward to some Wild Clover Double Owl tomorrow afternoon - excellent Ale.

Love it. On tap at Blaauklippen Market.

I should try that out some time. Just feels too close to work for me. When it comes to Wild Clover it is closer to just go to the farm it's 7km from home. Nice play area to tire out the little one and on weekends my bike mechanic is there flying his model airplane.

Stellenbräu will be on tap at the Woodmill market next Friday. Having worked next to Stellenbräu for a year in 2013 I find my self having withdrawal symptoms.

Good food at Woodmill market.

If you find yourself near noordhoek pop in at aegir project. My favorites were the pale uil and the midnight porter.

Nice review: http://brewmistress.co.za/new-brewery-in-cape-town-aegir-project/

Tears of the Hipster is awesome. Bat Piss is a good lager to.
