The farm's original name was 'Sabi' but was later changed to 'Sabie'. The Sabie River flowed through the farm and the name Sabi (or Sabie) could be a derivation of the Shangaan word 'uluSaba', meaning fearful. The indigenous people feared the large river running through Grootvantijn! In 1895, H.T. was entertaining friends on the banks of the Sabie River. They did target shooting at a nearby waterfall and bullets chipped a rock to reveal indications of gold. Diggers soon rushed to the area and during that same year the Sabie Village was established. During this time geologists and prospectors, who were hired by H.T. and his father, searched Grootvantijn for gold-bearing reefs. Eventually, a gold reef was found. This reef produced the most gold in the district. The Glynn House was built in 1921, possibly by H.T., as a local trading post. Over the years, it has gone from trading post to gift shop to restaurant and stood vacant for many months before the building was renovated during 2014 with a state-of-the-art microbrewery, a kitchen and an 80-seater restaurant and pub. The Sabie Brewing Company opened its doors on Friday 28 November 2014. Inside the restaurant, guests are able to see the brewery through a large glass window. There are exposed roof trusses and a piece of the original wall built in 1921. ## What they brew - Pale Ale — 35% of the beers we track - Dark Lager — 16% of the beers we track - IPA — 16% of the beers we track - Wheat Beer — 11% of the beers we track - Stout / Porter — 10% of the beers we track - Other — 8% of the beers we track - Sour / Other — 4% of the beers we track ## Find them - Address: 86 Nelson Street, Sabie, Mpumalanga, South Africa - Coordinates: -25.1048826, 30.7826657 - Website: http://www.sabiebrewery.com/ ## Breweries nearby - [Hops Hollow Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/hops-hollow-brewery-8069.md) — 2.54, Limited — Mpumalanga — 11 mi away - [Anvil Ale Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/anvil-ale-brewery-19043.md) — 2.78, Limited — Dullstroom, Mpumalanga — 48 mi away - [Hoedspruit Brewing Co](https://finding.beer/brewery/hoedspruit-brewing-co-35983.md) — 3.19, Poor — Hoedspruit, Limpopo — 52 mi away - [Zwakala Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/zwakala-brewery-12023.md) — 2.94, Limited — Magoebaskloof, Limpopo — 99 mi away - [Cervejas de Moçambique](https://finding.beer/brewery/cervejas-de-mocambique-10722.md) — 2.27, Limited — Maputo — 127 mi away - [Heineken Mozambique](https://finding.beer/brewery/heineken-mozambique-27049.md) — 2.15, Limited — Maputo — 127 mi away - [The Cockpit Brewhouse](https://finding.beer/brewery/the-cockpit-brewhouse-6438.md) — 2.71, Limited — Cullinan, Gauteng — 147 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.
