Taste our Award Winning Beer
Tasting is encouraged and its purpose is to inspire, maintaining that spirit of exploration, which is what craft beer is all about. We don’t all experience flavour in the same way; how we do so can be affected by light, temperature, noise and even music.
There is no requirement to book. You will be given the same warm welcome every time.
Beer tasting is 6 beers at R100
