Beer in South Africa - Homebrewing Culture

Homebrewing Culture

There is a fairly large homebrewing community in the major metropolitan cities throughout the country. Homebrewers meet on a monthly basis in some areas under the Worthog Brewers moniker and discuss brewing techniques and the like.

The homebrewing community have strong support from South African Breweries, who frequently sponsor both large and small craft beer festivals around the country.

Examples of these include the Clarens Beer Festival in Clarens, Freestate and Solstice Festival & Northwest Province

Famous quotes containing the word culture:

    Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.
    Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
