We Love Real Beer Festival.
Posted in Beer, Libations, Side orders on 31. Aug, 2010
There you have it. It’s about time someone threw something together that celebrated the love and joy that is Real Beer. If you have no idea what I’m referring to by the term Real Beer, these are naturally brewed beers made by independent brewers. Craft brews. No additives or strange ingredients. No mass global brands. Smaller is better. Think Jack Black and Brewers & Union. And a few other small but quality producers.
The craft beer scene in South Africa is definitely still infantile. Yes, we have the giants, but the little guys, well, they’ve got a long way to go when compared with the great microbrewery scene in the UK or US. The quality is there but the market is still tiny. The Real Beer initiative is one step in the right direction and this craft beer festival of theirs is certainly another. I’m really looking forward to this – it’s going to be one helluva fun night. Let’s all go and support the little guys. But do remember to drink responsibly, i.e. get a taxi there, because you know you’re probably going to stumble out when it’s all over. It is a beer festival, after all.

Who is the Foodie? It doesn’t really matter. Bacon is god. Wine cures anything. If you believe those two facts, then we’re going to get on fine. This means you have discovered the power of food to make life better. This knowledge is imperative to the art of living well.


Heard about it from Kevin Wood of Darling Brew, also making some great beer.
Cool. Seen the beer, yet to taste it.
I kind of agree to his comments and infact I find Slumdog a very average movie. It surely does not deserve this kind of attention. But the argument here is not that, the argument is attacking one of the finest movie maker of our time and according to AK a sincere human being. I think this harsh and unfair.
