Styled on a Kolsch that has been brewed in the German town of Colonge since the 17th century. The perfect beer to statisfy the South African taste for a crisp refershing drink. Fermenting the beer at ale temperatures (relatively warm 17-23C) with a wheat-style yeast results in a gentle fruitiness being imparted to the beer. The locally developed hop we use for this beer enhances this by adding a passion fruit aroma. The pure spring water sourced from the sub-alpine springs used in our brewing process is perfect for the delicate nature of this beer. Read Less

A copper-to-red coloured English ale, a style originating from the Burton area. The late addition of imported Goldings hops gives this ale an aromatic floral hop character that is combined with mild fruitiness. This premium ale has a lingering spicy hop character on the back of the toungue, balanced by the malty fullness on the front of the palate. This is combined with fruity esters from the English yeast strain. Following English tradition, this beer is fermented at warmer temperatures using top-fermenting yeast and with a lower carbonation level than most mainstream South African beers. Judged as the best pale ale at the 2011 National Home Brewing competition. Read Less

Stouts are of the porter family, but not all stouts are porters. The history of the porter style can be traced back to 1722 and is attributed to Ralph Harwood who introduced it to the hardworking London labourers. Black Anvil is an Oatmeal Stout. The combination of four local and imported malts plus a good dose of oats bestows an intricacy to this beer. Smooth as silk, the easy drinkability of this beer belies the complexity of aromas and tastes. The deep garnet to ruby colour is derived from the dark malts used. As you bring the glass to your mouth, the dried prunes and raisin aromas hint of what is going to follow. Characterised by an underlying roasted coffee, dark chocolaty taste, the fleeting wafer biscuit impression combines with the silkiness of the oats to give a richness of flavor with a medium-sweet palate. The perfect winter beer in front of a crackling fire. Read Less

The Belgians do not have a regimented approach to brewing, their main criteria being that whatever your imagination leads you to use must ultimately come together to form a unity. We have adapted the centuries-old Belgian style to include the naartjie (tangerine) peel instead of the Curacao orange peel as part of our spice addition. Sourced from a farm that still produces heirloom varieties, the fruit is chosen for the taste of the peel rather than the flesh. It is a lighter wheat style that is so appropriate when the heat of summer descends over Africa. Your nose might identify the aroma as bubblegum or litchi flavoured bubblegum. Spices dominate over hops and the addition of raw unmalted wheat leads to a haze, giving raise to the name "witbier". A light bodied beer, slightly sweet and tart at the same time, combining the smoothness of oats to make this among the most refreshing and complex beers. If you dry hop your glass of beer with some Buchu leaves, the aroma and taste changes to an uber-refreshing minty/camphor character. Read Less

Traditionally brewed to quench the thirst of farm workers in Belgium during the hot summer months, this refreshing beer is experiencing a renaissance worldwide. The specific yeast used for this beer, has a peculiarity in that is takes off like a rocket but slows down ¾ through the fermentation. The fermentors have to be heated to unheard of temperatures (25-32C) for a beer to complete the fermentation process. After completion the beer is conditioned hot (25C) for about a week before being released for consumption. A deep inhale will bring out notes of tropical fruit, lime and honey with similar aromas following as you sip. Your first impression might be of sweet beer, but as you savour and swallow a bone dry finish takes over, with a lingering finish of pink grapefruit. A medium bodied beer with a goldish colour tinged with lime green. Read Less
