It's not only Cape Town that gets all the great festivals! the Free State town of Clarens will be celebrating their second annual Craft Beer festival in Feb.

The Oktober Bierfest has been promising South Africans a genuine Bavarian festival that will provide a similar experience to that of the annual Oktoberfest in Munich. With the Cape Town leg in full swing this past weekend, and the Joburg event still ahead, it is time to find out what makes this event so authentic.

Lovers of beer are gearing up for a massive weekend out in the Mother City as two big beer festivals vie for their attention...

Yes Heritage Day and the associated Braai Day has come and gone but with summer looming we're not over talking braais for a long time yet. So today we bring you another fab recipe from a great local blog, for something yummy to serve up at your next braai.

Attending the Oktoberfest is on the ‘bucket list’ for many, but this year South Africans will not have to travel abroad for the experience, as Oktober Bierfest is coming to Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Artisan beer and indie wine lovers rejoice! The Barrel & Brew Festival is coming to the Blue Bird Garage Market next weekend.

Another Tasty Tuesday recipe for our readers.

This week's Tasty Tuesday recipe might better be categorised under 'Acquired-taste Tuesday' - having recently tasted this traditional African beer (see pic) I'm in no hurry to repeat the experience but others may disagree...

Many South Africans love a glass of wine at the end of a long day, or an ice cold beer around the braai, or sipping colourful sundowners. Many of us also end up in hospital, in a morgue or at the funerals of victims of drunk driving offenses.

What time did you say it is? Beer O Clock! My favourite time of the week... and it happens every Friday in Jozi.
