It’s that time of year again – that one weekend when I wished I lived in Gauteng and not the Cape. I still haven’t managed to get up to Pretoria for the annual Capital Craft Beer Festival and sadly won’t be making it this year…but you certainly should. You can even send me pics on the day to enhance the fomo.

There is too much going on to mention here, so head to their Facebook page for the full line-up. Suffice it to say there will be beers (and ciders) from around 40 breweries/brands both local and international. There are more than a dozen food stalls/trucks, there’s live music galore, rugby on the big screen, comedy stages, karaoke and an epic kids’ play area with dedicated staff to look after the little ones.

Wait, why am I not going??

Tickets are R170 in advance and R200 on the door. Do it.
