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.

The Blue Pearl of Morocco - Chefchaouen

Grande Cascades of the Rif Mountains. All I know is I know this place from other bloggers who have been to Morocco. This part of Morocco was not even part of my plans but it fell into place so perfectly and I believe it was meant to be. I took a bus from Rabat the capital of Morocco to Chaouen as the locals call it.  The bus ride is just over 4 hours and of course, it was not on time. I used the CTM bus services and the ticket from Rabat to Chaouen was 100 Moroccan Dirham and 5MD to pay for your luggage. Although the bus has the reputation of being the best and most comfortable in Morocco, their travel times are inconvenient but at least you will have air-con unlike with other buses.  The alleyways of the Chaouen Medina. As the bus started winding down the mountain roads, from a distance I could see the city, and then only did it kick in, I was in Chaouen, a city I have only known in blog posts. I got so excited, I am rather familiar with this feeli...

The Panorama Route in the Kruger Lowveld

Growing up our holidays were made up of family road trips to Mpumalanga with family and family friends. We had quite a huge family as that also included the extended family. My grandparents were very wise about it as they had a small car and then a bigger car that would be able to accommodate all of us for our road trips. Every years we used different gates into the kruger National Park, and because the grandparents were such epic wanderlusters and road trippers - thats where I get it from - They knew how to do this travel business without breaking the bank. It was always self-catering chalets for accommodation. It was mostly the free things to do in the places we would visit so that everyone in the family was accommodated. While in Mpumalanga, The must visit on the itinerary was always the Panorama Route. Whether we started it in Sabie where it begins at the Long tom Pass and went with it all the way to Hazyview or doing it the other way round it didnt matter. We knew there ...
