The Craft Beer Thread

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

Less foam would also be a winner

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

good old Garagista. Their advertising is the best in the business, their beer is average. Great place to have a brewery though. Riebeeck Kasteel.

A new concept (to South Africa) in getting more Craft beer down your throat.

Homebrew IPA review, 2 weeks into secondary. Low carbonation, but it packed a punch

My expectations are low.

I've seen their new labels and beer...can't bring myself to buy it.
How is it?

Let's put it this way. If there was no beer left on earth except Darling Brewery, then this wouldn't be the last one of theirs that I grab.

^ so what's the catch?

 

[morkhans]

So my picks from Cape Town festival of beer. Red sky Rauch bier, hogs brew porter, stone circle blonde (she has a kick), long Beach IPA & porter. If you like a Weiss then the cbc red Weiss is a winner (also have their IIPA on tap - yummy). There were also some session Weiss on offer from some stands for those still training their Weiss taste buds. Oh and check out the gallows Hill cask finished porter. Unfortunately not for tasting, but certainly looks promising (bought one blind).

Oh forgot to mention stick man. Some good beers there too.

My closest Craft Beer place is between Robertson & Worcester Western Cape, in the mountains near Nuy They brew their beers on-site
www.saggystone.co.za
They also serve great food.
Closer to home (in fact a 5 minute stroll from home) is The Whipping Post
http://www.visitswellendam.co.za/#!the-whipping-post/v9oir
However they do not brew on-site. Their Brewery is in the Cape Town area.

Shame sucks having so few choices. I was at saggy stone about a year ago. Worst beer I have ever tasted.

 

[morkhans]

Nice crisp bitter finish on this one. Really enjoying it.

I try not to compare beers but if you like kings block house this should do you well.
