    Wurth a visit. Choice of Craft Beer on tap with a good food menu to back it up. We tried the pulled pork burger with nicely cooked chips and coleslaw

    What a fantastic way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Three couples so six of us and we all had the Tasting Menu of six beers which were all varied but all excellent and crazy value. After that we rolled up our sleeves and got stuck into whichever beer was our favourite - the stout was a particular favourite amongst us! The three brewers behind the bar were great fun and happy to share their knowledge of how the beers were brewed. We all left there a little wobbly with T-shirts having had a great afternoon and early evening. Thanks so much Black Eagle we will be back!!!

    I stumbled upon this enchanting wine estate, enjoyed a delicious Riesling with an equally yummy flatbread. The views are delightful and the air is clean! I got a friendly welcome as well!
    There were a few friendly dogs roaming around minding their own business - cute!

    Beer : the beer is very tasty and the beer tasting very well priced. Nice setting.
    Service : I felt very looked after, service was great
    Food : had the German platter for 2, it was ok, didn’t wow me, the portion for the sides was really small, lots of bread with little to dress it with - the sausages lacked juiciness.

    Interesting tour taken by the owners themselves.
    Good variety of beer options and value for money with the gift of sample beer to take home.
    Accommodating of time and added snacks at our request.

    As the name suggests - come closer - and that is what we experienced. Unsure of what to expect as we walked in, we were welcomed immediately and given a quick run down. Overall, a great experience - beers, burgers and everything in between!

    Great little place. The beers are very good. We had a “build your own platter” for lunch. It was very delicious. Worth a visit.

    The perfect afternoon spent at this rustic gem.

    Great food and beer, interesting people.

    Dirt road and animals, so you know...

    Fabulous farm produce and home baked cookies and rusks!

    Simple, unpretentious, interesting and delicious.

    It's always a lovely evening out at the Devil's Peak Taproom. We were a big group of about 20, but service was quick and efficient. Everyone seemed very happy with their meal, Superfood Salad was superb and others raved about the Chicken Taco's.

    Accoustics not great so when it is very busy it is incredibly noisy. Otherwise great for good food and beers.

    So worth a stop when in Sedgefield and in need of refreshment. The biggest problem is deciding which beer to have. So glad I opted for the Strawberry Blond it was delicious.

    We came twice in our trip to the eastern cape. It was a lovely atmosphere with good beer. The staff were friendly, the manager was present and we had the best grilled fish

    We went through on a Sunday when it was a lot quieter. We had amazing service and sat outside on the newer deck at the Tap Room. We did the beer tasting and met a lot of very friendly local people and tourists. A pity it is not dog friendly.

    Here in Cape Town we experience a booming craft-beer 🍻 revolution with many bars around the city stocking some of the country’s best craft beers that range from garage-set up brewery concoctions to full-on production line creations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    Woodstock Brewery is considered as one of the best craft beers in the Cape. It's situated in the heart ♥️ of a vibrant suburb sharing the same name, with trendy art galleries, organic restaurants mixed with a local laid back flair. 🤘The brewery gives visitors good insight into the brewing process and access to up to 10 different brews. 😱 Our purveyor of this golden nectar was super entertaining, so knowledgeable and passionate. Very persuasive into "forcing" us to taste so many beers. 😉😂 He even performed a magic trick pouring a filtered and unfiltered beer from the same bottle

    Being a beer lover, I was very surprised to find this craft brewery hidden away in the Hout Bay Harbour. It is very small and can easily be missed, but definitely worth a visit. They have indoor and outdoor seating options and a nice selection of beers including ales, weisbeers, pilsners and stouts. The brewery's art style is very industrial and edgy, with the same style found in the design of their labels which I really liked. We decided to do a tasting and everyone in the group found a beer they enjoyed. It is also good to note that the staff were friendly and helpful which is always the cherry on top.
