Darling Brew Woodstock and Fermented present a five-course fermented beverage and food pairing on Saturday 31 August.
Fermented is an online food and beverage community that’s putting people back in touch with the origins of food and drink through workshops, meet-ups, tasting and dinner pairing events, all based on the ancient art of fermentation.
“The Fermentation re-awakening is upon us and I want to celebrate it across all its forms under one umbrella,” says Murray Slater, a community builder and digital storyteller from Cape Town. Him, together with Piet Marais, a trained chef from Paarl and winner of Ultimate Braai Master 2015, launched Fermented in April 2019.
