Beer lovers, hop to it! One of the city’s favourite (and recently revamped) shopping malls, Gardens Centre, is set to host a delectable barley-based craft beer festival from Wednesday, 26, until Saturday, 29 August 2015. With a superb smorgasbord of the Cape’s best brews accompanied by specialty cuisine on offer, visitors can be sure of an experience bound to ‘malt’ their hearts.
Need more convincing? Here are five reasons why aficionados of the amber ale (and normal beer drinkers too) need to go to this event!
5 REASONS TO HOP TO THE GARDENS CENTRE CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL
FIND THE BREW FOR YOU: With an impressive list of some of the city’s foremost brewers set to invade the centre, guests will have ample opportunity to sip and sample the Cape’s choicest beverages. Chat to the brew masters behind the beers to enhance your understanding of the individual flavours. You’ll be amazed at how much science goes into the perfection of the craft, and this knowledge will alter your appreciation of the drinks on offer.
UNLEASH YOUR INNER CRAFT CONNOISSEUR: Have a killer beer vocabulary you’ve been dying to impress your friends with? Now’s the time to shine! Brush up on brew jargon such as ‘alpha and beta amylase’, ‘diacetyl’, ‘dry hopping’ and ‘flocculation’ and throw these terms about casually with a smug smile on your dial.
TUCK INTO CRAFTY CUISINE: Of course, no beverage fest would be complete without a selection of top nosh. Taste, test and buy world-class brews and tasty treats from multiple specialist traders. Here’s the A-list of the participating vendors:
LOCAL IS LEKKER: Cape Town is now known for three things – Mandela, Table Mountain and craft beer. We are at the fore of the craft beer revolution, and we’re setting new trends with our technique, creativity and boundless passion. This is the perfect opportunity for you to support our microbreweries by buying local. Aside from purchasing directly from the traders, you can also find a special selection of beers at the Norman Good Fellows on-site liquor store.
GARDENS CENTRE IS A CASK ABOVE THE REST: In between sampling the best brews in the business, take a moment to soak up the atmosphere of the mall. With live music to enhance the mood, why not take the opportunity to do a spot of shopping? There are 70 amazing and diverse stores to choose from so you’re sure to find a little (or big) something you ‘just can’t do without.’
