## About

Fraser’s Folly is the most southerly craft brewery in Africa, based at the Black Oystercatcher Wine Farm. From here, Fraser Crighton and his team brew a range of innovative, fun and refreshing craft beer. A winemaker by trade, Fraser moved to the Western Cape of South Africa in 2010. Frustrated by the lack of selection of beers, he swapped his trade, and became a brewmaster instead. Today, Fraser’s Folly is known not only for its innovative paper packaging, but also for its range of smooth-tasting beers.
