Visit Africas' ONLY Beer Museum - SAB World of Beer


November marked the first ever #AfricaThroughBeer experience in Uganda where in collaboration with SAB world of beer we hosted a group of 5 winners from South Africa who traveled with us to Uganda to explore East Africa’s adventure capital, find amazing brews and learning more about beer.
 
Some South African and international brews during a beer tasting.

The winners had to visit SAB World of beer for a beer tour in order to stand a chance to visit Uganda with us.

Tasting some Umqombothi (isiZulu traditional beer) from a traditional calabash as part of the beer tour.


SAB World of Beer is Africa’s only beer destination. Situated in the heart of Newtown, Johannesburg. The beer museum takes you on a journey of beer brewing from the Nubians in Egypt down to South Africa uncovering the fascinating brewing through a fun, informative and interactive tour.

Maluti is a beer from Lesotho. Named after the Maloti Mountains of the highlands of the Kingdom of Lesotho. 


The museum doesn’t offer beer tours only. They also have world-class events venues for all your eventing requirements. You can visit the World of Beer Tap Room which serves amazing pub-style meals, amazing views of Newtown and of course beers on tap. Here you will also find some of the beers from various African countries.

Conference venues at the museum.


There are monthly food and beer pairings where you get to learn more about the various AB-inBev brews and how they are best complemented with certain foods. The food and beer pairing is a 5-course meal accompanied with various beers and ciders and it is open to all that love and beer and those who would love to learn more about beer. The beer pairings are guided by an expert brewer.

By far Joburgs greatest burger accompanied by South Africas greatest beer (I may be biased).


Did you know: Charles Glass is the founder of the Castle Brewery, the oldest commercial brewery in South Africa founded in Johannesburg in 1894.

Rules of the Brewhouse:

Our brewhouse is dedicated to all those splendid people who make beer drinking a pleasure. Here they find companionship, common interest, and contentment.  Above all, they know that beer lovers ask for no more than a pleasant enviroment where they can enjoy one of natures finest gifts. These gentlemen and gentle women respect our rules of cuotious behavior, modest voices, polite dress and ties for men.
Friends take note, relax and be refreshed.

SAB World of Beer
is open 7 days a week, from 10am to 6pm. Tours are held at the top of every hour with the last tour starting at 5pm, except for Sunday and Monday when the last tour is at 4pm.
You can purchase your tour and food and beer pairing tickets online on at the museum.

A visit into a South African shebeen in the museum.

Charlotte the friendly ghost in the Midlands Meander

The thing about having family in KZN is, often when one travels to visit family you never really stop and explore the small towns that one drives past. To this day I still struggle to visit Durban and not feel guilty about being so close to family and actually not getting time to see them. I mean, one can only imagine how busy a travel bloggers life can be when there's lots of boys to drool over and plenty beer to sample... Never mind the delicious Indian cuisine found in the city. The views are breathtaking everywhere I am currently on a road trip with some of South Africas top travel bloggers, travel writers, photographers and videographers and this time we stopped in Nottingham Road. No it's not a one road sleepy little village in the breathtaking Midlands meander. Nottingham road is actually a small town. With breathtaking views everywhere you turn. With only about 2500 residents which is quite impressive in terms of growth compared to only having had 200 re...

himba village

As a traveler and lover of adventure and uncertainty while traveling, African cultures have always been right at the top of things I love to explore and learn about. I have found that there is great difficulty in visiting various villages to immerse myself in these cultures if you are a budget traveller but I make it happen anyways.

More than anything, I would love to stay. I have made some good friends discovered your beauty and tasted your award winning beer. You are truly the land of the brave. You have come so far and have so far to go still. I hope to walk this journey with you. Thank you for playing a part in my journey to self discovery as well as promoting Africa to Africans. I have made so many friends from as far as Italy and France. Through you I expanded my travel family. I have shared stories of my home country South Africa And had the opportunity to invite more people to come discover my beautiful country of South Africa on a Sho't Left. I have had late nights spent around the braai with people I now consider my own family. Thank you for your beauty, thank you for your ocean, sand...
