## About

De Garve Brewery is the first micro-brewery established in Vanderbijlpark in the Vaal Triangle. This brewery is a family owned business where Patrick does the brewing and sales and his wife Goedele does the bottling and packaging, purchases and finances. The brew house has been built on the property behind the residence, creating a perfect situation for continuous attention. The love for beer started long ago with Patrick making his home brews and culminated in the establishment of a micro-brewery during 2007 and the realization of his life-long dream. In this brewery all beers are handcrafted according to traditional brewing methods and are "brewed with passion"
