In a similar vein to the Knysna Oyster Festival, the Longtable Oyster Feast on Thursday, 27 July 2017 is heading to Jack Black Brewery in Diep River and we cannot wait to get our hands on these little fruits de la mer.
The seaside delights will be sourced by some of Cape Town’s most promising chefs. They’ll take the goodies from the sea and add so much flavour that you’ll be left speechless. The seafood will be fresh and delicious, and ( we are told ) it’ll pair amazingly well with the bubbly or beer that you will be presented with on arrival.
The event will be hosted at Jack Black Brewery, which means a win-win for beer lovers. Jack Black produces seven types of beers, and they are hugely popular. All seven will be on offer during the evening but the organisers have got a little surprise for you; Jack Black is even offering up a taste of their limited edition Sorghum Stout. This type of stout is made with the Sorghum grain, which adds a very distinct flavour. Come and get your taste of this sensational brew.
