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.

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.

Traveling from Nouakchott in Mauritania to Dakar in Senegal over land

Mauritania is a desert country.  Nouakchott is the capital city of Mauritania. Mauritania is a desert country, bring loads of water and sunscreen. Although there is a caveat to bringing loads of water, this trip has no bathroom breaks. I did not see a toilet anywhere and asking the taxi to stop so you can relieve yourself is a bit tricky as there is no bush and you are driving through the desert. So drink loads of water at your own peril. The local taxi to get to the border Take a taxi from Nouakchott to the border with Senegal. The taxi stops about 1km from the border. There are horse carriages available to take you to the border should you need but it is a walkable distance. When you get to the border, you need to produce a copy of your passport. There is a place to photocopy your passport if you don’t have a copy, and there are guys who can change money for you. The border town  is called Rosso. There are plenty of trucks at the border. there is no ...

Africa's Northern most Point - Cap Angela

Cap Angela Monument. I have spent a whole 5 days in Tunis the capital of Tunisia and surrounding areas. But the Journey begins at the most Northern Point of Africa. On google, the most Northern Point of Africa is in Bizerte, Northern Tunisia. Bizerte is a city that lies on the Mediterranean sea with breathtaking beaches. Cap Angela Beach with locals out for a swim. Although Bizerte is the closest town to the northernmost point of Africa, the point is at a place named Cap Angela. Cap Angela was only recognized in 2014 as the northernmost point of the African continent replacing Cap which is also in Tunisia.  Although getting to Cap Angela can be a full day outing from Tunis, you can also get there from Bizerte and will definitely will be cheaper. Cap Angela is in the middle of nowhere so you will have to hire a car. It is cheaper to hire a car with a driver than it is to hire a car to drive yourself, i guess this is because of the insurance. As for an english sp...
