The 10 Best Breweries in Western Cape, South Africa

July 17, 2021 Stefan Strunk

South Africa’s most popular tourist destination offers the urban thrills of Cape Town, its adjacent wine country and an aura of the rich political history of South Africa. The Overberg's perfect whale-watching perches provide excitement of a different nature. The Garden Route's lakes and forests and the Klein Karoo's ostrich-farming towns and vineyards present another take on the Cape. For extra kicks, try bungee jumping or cage-diving among Great Whites.

The Makers Brew

Reviewed By HospitalityHedonist - Franschhoek, South Africa

Some of the best pizza around. Excellent beers with a selection for novice to serious stout types. Here you’ll find great hospitality, food that’s simplistic but not shy on flavor which mimics the excellent beers. Saison and Amber being a winner for me. Prices much like the rest of Barrydale are conservative rather than cosmopolitan. A must for the love of beer and a local brew (coffee too)

Van Ryn's Distillery

Experience the atmosphere and stature of the Van Ryn's Brandy Distillery where the tour of the distillery includes a demonstration of the art of coopering, a whiff of the Angle's share in the maturation cellar, followed by the guest's choice of vintage brandy tastings. The choice of tastings include an option of a brandy, coffee and chocolate tasting or a brandy and florentine tasting. The distillery is also a popular venue for private functions and conferences.

Reviewed By TheBajanQueen - Wilmington, United States

We have visited here before...and each time we enjoy the ambience (with the leather chairs and large pot still) and the brandy. We did the brandy and chocolate tasting with included three brandies (10. 15 and 20 year old) paired with three chocolates. We loved the 15 year old the best. We were treated to a sample of the 30 year old. Definitely very good...but perhaps just a bit beyond what we were willing to spend.
