Finding the lekker beer so you dont have to.
Welcome to The Cape Beer Guy, your guide to local beer, breweries, food, road trips and the people making the Western Cape craft beer scene worth talking about.
The Story
Not a beer snob.
Just a guy who
Loves the Craft.
The Cape Beer Guy started with a simple idea: there are loads of incredible local breweries, but finding the good stuff can sometimes feel like a mission.
So we're building a place where beer lovers can discover local breweries, plan road trips, find interesting beers and hear the stories behind them.
From Cape Town to the Winelands, Overberg, West Coast and Garden Route, we're here to celebrate the people putting their own spin on craft beer.
