Best BreweriesCape Town, South Africa
1. Woodstock Brewery
Woodstock, South Africa
We’ve been brewing beer since 2014 and have a wide variety on offer. We believe great beer requires seriousness: the best ingredients, dedicated arty crafters, the right equipment, and “gees” and “stokedness”. Our beer names, on the other hand, are all “shits, giggles, sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll”. We have entwined some tongue-in-cheek lightness into our serious craft. The brewers are always playing around with new flavours and techniques, constantly creating new and exciting brews. We invite you to come and take a tour, sample our brews and follow that experience by enjoying a Bavarian Beerhall style restaurant with a couple of beers at the bar of The Woodstock Beerhall.

Mass produced lagers are certainly not what beer should be… Gallows Hill Brewing Co. aims to produce small batch, full-bodied, hop filled, more flavourful, all natural & interesting beer of exceptional quality to discerning palettes. Beer used to be unique and positive part of communities. Unfortunately this disappeared thanks to the marketing & volume driven approach adopted by some of the mega-brewers. Gallows Hill Brewing Co. beers are all virtually handmade from an all-malt mash in our handcrafted brewhouse - an example of the simple, traditional brewing methods of old.
