About Stellenbosch Brewing Company

Don’t be fooled. Stellenbosch isn’t only home to some of the world’s best wines and most beautiful wine farms (although it is that too). It is also the proud home of a number of breweries, and the Stellenbosch Brewing Company has certainly earned its place among the top-notch brewers of today.

This craft brewery has dubbed their range “New World Beers” as they respect tradition and heritage, but complement them with authentic modern South African ingredients. This creates a unique fusion of flavours that celebrate the diversity and multi-faceted magic of the country. Affectionately known as Stellies Beer, this brewery produces a number of favourites, including:

Eike Stout (ABV 6%)
This medium-bodied stout is rich and delicious, with distinct vanilla and caramel undertones.

Bosch Weiss (ABV 4.5%)
A wheat beer that has been made in true Bavarian style. You’ll taste banana, clove and coriander as you sip on this light beer.

The Avenue Lager (ABV 5%)
This is a Czech pilsner brewed with Saaz hops, and is a little Boho. The six-week cold fermentation process creates a beer that is flavoursome and crisp.

Born Free Pale Ale (ABV 5.5%)
This is a traditional American-style pale ale. Look out for the citrus, litchi and gooseberry flavours.

Mass Hoppiness IPA (ABV 7%)
The double dry hopped beer is accentuated with hints of tropical fruits and citrus for a real taste sensation.

The taproom at Stellies Beer is the perfect place to chill with friends and savour picnic-style food in the gorgeous garden. There are also brewery tours for those that want to follow the entire process to appreciate the end product even more. Cape Town is less than an hour’s drive away.
