I didn't know whether to write this with my outdated information and post it just before my forthcoming visit to Richmond Hill, or to wait until I'd revisited and write about it later with up-to-date deets and photos. I have decided on the former, so excuse any old...
You might remember, a few weeks back, a post about a crowdfunding campaign from The Kennel Brewery. They were raising capital for a container taproom in Durbanville. Well, I am most pleased to announce that the taproom is now installed and operating. It's the third...
There has been a bit of confusion over the whole Friday Beers thing. On a couple of occasions people have messaged to ask what time I will be at the featured brewery that Friday, and in one case I received a slightly disgruntled DM from a...

It's been a whole two weeks since I pledged to blog more and to post a Friday Beers suggestion every week of the year. On the first part, I think I'm doing fairly well: 21 days into the year and six posts written. On the second part am about to fail, but only...
