About
Super Cool Beer Tour is a half day beer tour around central Cape Town. We have a amazing beer culture in South Africa and guess what our no 1 national drink is...beer! Cape Town is the Craft beer capitol of Africa with some great brewing history and we also have the most microbreweries than any other city! Enjoy this half day tour with us by visiting 3 Breweries scattered around the city...to taste some of their locally brewed Beers! We visit 2 Microbreweries and 1 Macro Brewer to taste and compare their tasty Beers. Located in off the beaten track locations like Woodstock, Saltriver and Newlands, you will not only learn everything about our beer heritage, but also some great attractions and places with great stories along the way. Your guide will share all the info, stories and point out some cool stuff as well!

We had such a great afternoon with our guide PJ. We had a morning tour so were running a bit late, but PJ worked around us and pushed out the start time to suit us. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour so had a great time speaking with PJ and learning about local beers and also Cape Town. We went to 3 different breweries, ate some great food, drank awesome beer and had a great afternoon in general. I would definitely recommend this!!

South African's love their beer. Even more than wine. To get a better idea of why I spent an afternoon with Super Cool Beer tours. After a visit to SAB we were taken to several great craft breweries and sampled some awesome brew along the way.
Aside from drinking great beer, Louwrens offered plenty of insight to sights and history around Cape Town - making this tour more than just drinking.
This is a great way to see Cape Town, meet new friends, and share a laugh. Highly recommend.

Well deserved 100% recommended!!! Lourens first said that the tour was booked bc of a private event.... but then took it upon himself to get a colleague to help out and have a second tour for at least 8 of us. Amazing!! This is a must in Cape Town if you love beer.... and he tells stories of the history of Cape Town. Knows his crowd as well.... knew we were into drinking and great music (90s alternative/grudge), puts on Nirvana, and then busts our chops and asks my wife if she wants to listen to Michael Buble!!! Busting our chops and we loved it!!!
Visited at least 4 breweries, had an amazing tasting, met some great people...... please take this tour!!! Thanks Lourens!!

What a wonderful experience for those interested in the young, but exploding, craft beer scene in Cape Town. We met some great people, tried amazing beers and moved at an enjoyable pace. Louwrens included a ton of educational information too. Highly recommended.

Hi Owen. Thank you so much for the positive and helpful review! It was a honor to have a international Beer Judge all the way from the USA to spend half a day exploring our local brews! Its great to hear that we can compare with the rest! Have a fantastic festive season and if i'm back in the USA 1 day...guess what we'll be doing!! Big Cheers, Louwrens Fouche

Having done quite a few tours round the Central Cape Town area, this has been the one of the most memorable, due to the awesome tasting beer, enigmatic breweries and experienced tour guide Lawrence.... (Also partly due to the group of Aussie boys we were with spontaneously getting naked and posing for photos with the fermenters during our tour.) The tour was well organized and planned with enough time in each location, also with a few extra touches (e.g. beer and food pairing). Highly recommend for any beer lover or those that just want to have a lekker time. Thank you Lawrence! - Ella

I had no idea what to expect when I decided to join this tour. It was amazing!! We learned the basics of crafting beer, visited a huge beer factory (where they make 9 different types of major South African beers), and a micro brewery! The guide was excellent. He gave us a brief overview of the history of Cape Town as we drove to the breweries and made sure we had an great time. There was plenty of beer tastings and we even got to eat delicious food paired with specific beers to match the taste. Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves beer!

Hi Kimberly
So glad the expectations were exceeded and that you enjoyed the day out with me. I totally agree with the fact that the food and beer pairing is certainly 1 of the highlights of the day!! For future reference experiment with some different pairings like dark chocolate and stout beer or vanilla ice cream and a light lager beer!!
Happy tastings and big Cheers!

By the time I went on the Super Cool Beer Tour, I had been in Africa for almost a month with nothing besides lager to quench my beer thirst. Coming from Northern California, where craft beer is amazing and everywhere, this was a tragic missing element. Enter Louwrens and the Super Cool Beer Tour, a fantastic way to acquaint yourself with Cape Town's rapidly growing craft beer scene. We paid a visit to the home brew shop Beer Guevara, and the highlight was Devil's Peak Brewing Company. From IPA down through English Ale and saison, Devil's Peak has a great range of beer, and Louwrens is the man to show you around this beer scene. He is extremely knowledgeable in both beer and brewing, and a wonderful personality to spend a few hours with. This tour is highly recommended!
