ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - If you missed out on the last two years, 2019 could be third time lucky for you to join beer lovers across South Africa in marking South African National Beer Day.
Celebrated annually on the first Saturday in February, the special day sees a series of beer-related events at breweries from Franschhoek to Woodstock, Pretoria to Rustenberg, Clarens to Nottingham Road and more.
Organiser and beer writer, Lucy Corne, describes South African National Beer Day as “a collection of small scale events, promotions, pairings, specials and mini festivals” and says that anyone can hold an event.
She came up with the idea of hosting a #SANBeerDay a couple of years ago.
“We tend to tip our hat to International Beer Day in August, but this was created with the northern hemisphere in mind, and a cold pint in South Africa goes down better in February than August. So I floated the idea of our own day and the brewing community responded with boundless enthusiasm.”
