## About

A Scotsman, an American and a South African walked into bar and couldn’t find a decent beer, so they made their own...
Handcrafted in the Franschhoek Valley to perfection using only the highest quality, natural ingredients, we make damn good beer that’s unpasteurised and naturally carbonated.
Cheers! Gesondheid! Prost! Salut!
