Afternoon took a detour....haven't got to it yet. Maybe a bit later. I'm looking forward to trying it!

Dammit, 3 beers down the drain this afternoon, not a good day for KZN craft

Simply always good

I wish I was a less fussy drinker living downstream from you...

At least you have craft. Budget depleted. Drinking .... SAB

Got 3 left, tomorrow's quota, think I'll have to switch over to something harder for the rest of the day

final craft of the holidays done, I&G Toasted Oak IPA

Yesterday I had a Stickman IPA and Notties Tipsy Tiger IPA, the I&G is streets ahead from a drinkability perspective, I reckon I could easily sit down and quaff these all day

Tomorrow demands more craft of you!
Glad you enjoyed the I&G.

Wow. Pretty intense.

Just tried this, found it in our local Spar.

not bad: not really a lager, but not a weiss or IPA either.

Beer. With a cork? Must have! It's a Triggerfish beer? Might need to go on Monday for beer tasting / getting wasted.

Belgian style with a twist. Like a more hoppy blonde. Not bad, but I've only had it once, some months back.

yeah, sounds about right.

It will be interesting to taste when it's brewed locally!

Yup Triggerfish. Not sure this puppy is for tasting, but you can buy one and save it for a special occasion

Oh the cork was fun getting out. Too small to get a nice grip and too big to go into the corkscrew without having to wrangle it.

Yeah I quite like them too.

Popped in at anura to try the offerings at wagon trail brewing Co.

They have a larger, weiss, IPA and a amber ale. They all tasted nice enough but nothing really stood out. All pretty easy drinking session beers with the ale being the exception with a 8% alcohol content. I really liked the smell of the IPA. Tap only so can't take any home.

Verdict: worth checking out if you're in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip. There is wine and cheese next door for the SO

No picture but the Stellenbrau Jonkers Weiss has an uncanny banana-like flavor to it. Not real bananas - but the flavor of those banana shaped-sweets or banana milkshakes.
