Not Just a beer guide.
A local Adventure.
The Cape Beer Guy is about discovering the people, places and stories behind the Western Cape's craft beer scene.
From Cape Town's city streets to the Winelands, Overberg, West Coast and Garden Route, we're here to find the lekker stuff and share it with everyone.
The Story
It started with a
simple question:
Where's the good stuff?
The Western Cape is packed with incredible places, passionate brewers and people doing interesting things with beer.
The problem? Finding them isn't always as easy as it should be.
The Cape Beer Guy was created to make discovering those places easier, while telling the stories behind the beer along the way.
This isn't about pretending to be the world's biggest beer expert. It's about curiosity, exploration and finding places worth talking about.
“Good beer is only half the story.”
The other half is the place you discovered it, the people you met and the story you brought home.
The Mission
Celebrate The People
behind the beer.
Independent breweries are part of what makes the Western Cape special. We're here to shine a light on the people creating something different, local and worth experiencing.
Keep it Local
We want to discover the independent breweries and local characters making the Western Cape beer scene interesting.
Explore
The best discoveries don't always happen on the obvious tourist route. Sometimes you've got to take the long way.
Tell Stories
Behind every brewery is a story, a person and usually a ridiculous amount of passion.
Have a Lekker Time
Beer is supposed to be fun. The website should be too.
