From professional football to mining for cryptocurrency, Grant Igesund discusses the exciting world of trading with bitcoin and altcoins. He’s one hell of a gentleman and knows a ton more than me on this subject. He has left me with even more questions!
Murray and I catch up over his new beer and discuss the current beer landscape. We talk about his new venture, Jump Brewing Co, and also the direction #Beertime wants to go in the future. Strap yourselves in folks. Here we go!
Hemel en Aarde Brewery is located in Hermanus, which is known for its whale watching. As the alcohol ban continues, we discuss how breweries are finding ways to keep the lights on, but also to help others in the community.
Eric from Triggerfish is considered by most as one of the craft beer pioneers in South Africa. We chat about his journey from home-brew to brewpub and his fondness for dark and high ABV beers. Hick!
I love talking to people in the beer industry. At times like these when all hope seems lost, brewers still find ways to be innovative and positive. Long live craft breweries!
How should small breweries react to the complete banning of alcoholic beverages? Is there any hope of survival? What new things can we expect from brewers and consumers?
Can craft breweries turn things around and save not only themselves, but South Africa as a country? I think it’s possible. So let’s go for it!
What a surreal time to be alive. I never imagined an episode where we weren’t allowed to sit together and have a beer. I wanted to check in with some local brewers to find out how they were coping during this global pandemic.
Nestled in the wine region of Constantia, this brewery / open style kitchen is the newest beer spot to open in Cape Town. We sit down with Murray no.4 and chat over a few of their beers. The pale ale is a winner. Life is good.
We’ve all done it. Forgotten about a few beers in our cupboard and let them collect dust. But not today! Today we drink those old beers and make them proud. Tomorrow, we deal with the consequences!
