If you happen to enter from the Belfast side, make sure you head across town to savour the local beer, where Theo de Beer and his wife Sarie serve up drafts, local fare and numerous generous helpings of boozy cake. Anvil House opened in April 2010 after three years' of building and alterations to prepare the building Theo handpicked as the site for his new brewery. Having already cut his teeth at Hops Hollow brewery on the Long Tom Pass, Dullstroom is lucky to have Theo at all since his original intention was to emigrate to New Zealand. It was only due to the recent financial slump, that Theo was forced to reconsider his decision. The 1000 litre brewery produces a Blonde Ale, a Pale Ale and a Baltic Porter, which Theo calls his 'girlie ale' (women prefer it). By comparison the Blonde Ale tastes most like a lager, and the Pale Ale leaves a more fruity, malty taste in the mouth with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Most of the food is locally sourced (like the German sausage from Nelspruit), and the relishes, mustard and desserts are all made on the premises. You might want to sample either the Boozy cake or chocolate rum cake – both of which have received generous lashings of alcohol during the production process. There is a daily food menu that includes dishes such as smoked trout and scrambled egg, wholesome veggie soup, trout quiche and other delights. ## What they brew - Pale Ale — 35% of the beers we track - IPA — 19% of the beers we track - Stout / Porter — 12% of the beers we track - Wheat Beer — 12% of the beers we track - Amber Ale — 11% of the beers we track - Other — 11% of the beers we track ## Find them - Address: Dullstroom, Mpumalanga, South Africa - Coordinates: -25.4197148, 30.0979009 - Website: http://www.anvilbrewery.com/ ## Breweries nearby - [Hops Hollow Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/hops-hollow-brewery-8069.md) — 2.54, Limited — Mpumalanga — 38 mi away - [Sabie Brewing Company](https://finding.beer/brewery/sabie-brewing-company-11416.md) — 2.69, Limited — Sabie, Mpumalanga — 48 mi away - [Hoedspruit Brewing Co](https://finding.beer/brewery/hoedspruit-brewing-co-35983.md) — 3.19, Poor — Hoedspruit, Limpopo — 91 mi away - [The Cockpit Brewhouse](https://finding.beer/brewery/the-cockpit-brewhouse-6438.md) — 2.71, Limited — Cullinan, Gauteng — 100 mi away - [Legends Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/legends-brewery-11999.md) — 2.72, Limited — Plataanweg, Gauteng — 103 mi away - [Zwakala Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/zwakala-brewery-12023.md) — 2.94, Limited — Magoebaskloof, Limpopo — 105 mi away - [Vlakfontein Breweries](https://finding.beer/brewery/vlakfontein-breweries-13402.md) — 3.03, Poor — Pretoria, Gauteng — 107 mi away - [Hazeldean Brewing Company](https://finding.beer/brewery/hazeldean-brewing-company-12890.md) — 3.06, Limited — Tyger Valley, Gauteng — 109 mi away ## Rankings this brewery appears in - [Best breweries in South Africa](https://finding.beer/breweries/south-africa.md) --- Finding Beer scores breweries on the beer they brew rather than on the venue.
