Tour of World of Beer and Alrode Brewery
May 13, 2017 @ 09:30 - 14:00
R424The beer tour starts at SAB World of Beer with the history of beer – including a step into Hathor’s tomb to watch a fun holographic video; a taste of traditional beer while sitting in a mock African village; meet Charles Glass; explore the hop-growing process in the green field, visit Table Bay in Cape Town in 1652, travel through the mining town in old Johannesburg during the gold rush; and end off in the African Lion Pub for a mini pint of beer where guests get a keepsake commemorative glass.
Guests are then taken by shuttle to the Alrode Brewery, half an hour away, to see first-hand, how beer is brewed – starting with the brewing process in the brew house and ending with packaging.
Veteran and SAB trade brewer, Anton Erasmus, guides this part of the tour with his vast industry knowledge and keeps guests both informed and entertained along the way.
The tour ends with guests returned to SAB World of Beer for a late lunch and a pint in the Taproom, overlooking the city.
