Nothing beats a nice cold beer in the middle of Summer. Whether you are at a braai or in a pub, having a beer with friends just makes things better. Arguably the best place to have a beer is at a brewery. You get to appreciate the beer in a whole new way. Whether its getting information on how the beer was made, or enjoying perfectly compatible food, visiting a brewery is well worth it.
