Birkenhead Brewery

carynkaleido — Fri, 26 Feb 2021 08:37:31 +0000

Founded in 1998, the Birkenhead Brewery started as one of the first craft breweries in South Africa. Initially, based on the story of the sinking of the Birkenhead Ship along our coastline, our beers are inspired by the ferocious power of South African landscapes and the charismatic characters that are found here. We now produce five different craft brews with additional special brews as and when inspiration strikes. All of our beers are filtered and pasteurised, with a 9-month shelf life. R326, Stanford

Boplaas Family Vineyards & Distilling is a six-generation family business. It is situated in the picturesque town of Calitzdorp, among the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains in the Klein Karoo. Boplaas’ history of distilling dates back to 1880, when the first order of potstill brandy casks was sent to Cape Town harbor by ox-wagon for delivery to London. After the repeal of distilling licenses in the early 1920s, Boplaas’ copper pot still lay dormant for almost 70 years until it was fired up again in 1989. Boplaas has received numerous accolades for its Potstill Brandy, wines, port-styled wines, and recently Whisky as well. 2 Saayman street info@boplaas.co.za

Everson’s Cider

carynkaleido — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 12:25:42 +0000

At Everson’s Cider we make genuine cider. What makes our cider a genuine cider? Well, ingredients for a start. We use the real deal. Elgin apples. Up to five different types to be exact. We even make a pear version and, yes, those are as good. For us fruit is key. It’s the backbone of our product. The quality of the raw ingredients also means that, at Everson’s, we don’t really need to add much else. Number 40, Viljoenshoop Road, Grabouw
