Soul Barrel Brewing company was established when founder Nick Smith migrated from the Soul City of New Orleans to the Mother City and was founded on the belief that real beer is made with soul, and we couldn’t agree more.
Soul Barrel prides itself on using only the finest hoppy ales, old-world fermentation and local ingredients when creating its beers. Soul Barrel Brewing is located in the heart of the Cape Winelands outside of Cape Town, near Franschhoek, built within the old tank walls of the former Drakenstein Winery.
Soul Barrel believes believe in serving its beer as fresh as possible so its customers can enjoy the beer as intended, this is why their wide variety of beer is only available onsite at the taproom & beer garden, and in growlers to go.
