We drink the latest collaboration beer from two Cape Town breweries. This thick and boozy Imperial Stout has incorporated honey selected yeast, black honey coffee, lactose and molasses. Sitting at 11,5% it’s best to drink around a roaring fire… naked.
Kevin Wood started Darling in 2010 after accidentally drinking a home-brewed beer in a remote African town. Since then, the business has gone through highs and lows, whilst producing some of the countries most iconic beers. We also talk about Devils Peak purchasing the countries largest independent tap and keg distribution. Kevin Wood Picture:
Big breweries are buying up smaller breweries, distribution networks are being bought out and the smaller craft guys will be left to die. Or will they? We drink and discuss the top London breweries, Beavertown, Camden Town and Fourpure, who’ve all sold a percentage to Big Beer.
In South Africa, you can purchase wine in a grocery store, but not beer. It’s been this way for quite a while, and nothing has been done about it, until now. Shawn and Lucy are leading the campaign to fight for equal rights in beer. Sign the petition at letusbuybeer.com
Having one beer event per week is clearly not enough. That’s why the beer gods have thrown us a week filled with beer celebration. We brace ourselves for a week of magical mayhem by drinking local and international beers. Wish us good luck!
In this show we debunk the myths surrounding beer in cans, and why it’s actually better than bottling. We also chat about the Independent Craft Brewer Seal, Hop grams per litre, History of Cans, Selling to the Big Guys, and other goodies. Hooray
Michael Everson is a Hollywood star, but is better known as a cider pioneer in South Africa. On top of that he has a beautiful voice for radio. We drink ciders and beers, and get his thoughts on craft, being a dad, and selling your brand.
Mountain Brewing Co. is located in a beautiful part of South Africa, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Their beers are beautiful too! We chat to head brewer PG, who explains why it takes him so long to release a beer, and the difficulty in using cherries in your beer.
We need more folks like Nick and Anna. Why are they traveling to the USA so much? How do we make bacon beer? What is a centrifuge? Can you make cereal milk beer? All these questions will be answered when you listen to the magic.
Founder, owner and brewer, Rory is the epitome of craft beer. Having worked in breweries in New Zealand and the UK, he has now settled by the ocean in Cape Town. We learn a lot on this show, and drink some fantastic beers… obviously. https://www.instagram.com/p/BkPLok9FEjJ/
