Newlands Spring Brewing Co. at Bierfest Cape Town
With Bierfest, Cape Town’s ‘Fest Klaus’ festival of fun and all things Bavarian bier culture-related, now fast approaching, Newlands Spring Brewing Co. hosted members of the press for a sneak-peek tasting of the microbrewery’s batch of finely crafted beers that will be available on tap at this keenly anticipated annual bier event.
Every frothy mouthful provided guests with a tantalising taste of what festivalgoers will experience at Newlands Brewery, Village Green from Friday 6 November – Sunday 8 November.
Using only the finest spring water, delivered from the original source of the Newlands Spring where, to this day, the legendary mountain water still bubbles up, crystal clear and as pure as ever, Newland Spring’s beer offerings available at this year’s event will include the Passionate Blond, Jacob’s Pale Ale and a delicious Mountain Weiss.
The cutely named Passionate Blond (made from Southern Passion hops) is a brilliantly drinkable beer whose hops are sought-after worldwide. Top aromatic notes of passion fruit combined with a Belgian pilsner malt create the bracingly fresh body of this sessionable blend.
Jacob’s Pale Ale celebrates the heritage of pioneering brewer, Jacob Letterstedt. Revisiting a 155-year old recipe discovered in the brewery’s Newlands archives, 3 barley malt varieties deliver a rich colour and an equally bold flavour, complemented by traditional English hop aromatics.
Brewed in traditional Bavarian style, the Mountain Weiss is an unfiltered wheat beer carrying distinctive overtones of banana and clove. Finely crafted with crystal clear water sourced from Table Mountain’s natural springs, it delivers a smooth and refreshing beer.
TOPS at SPAR Bierfest in association with Tsogo Sun, Jägermeister, Gearhouse, Dryver, Good Fellas and Jiguja will be hosted inside a 4 000-seater Bavarian Brauhaus festooned with festival décor direct from München.
Modeled on the much-loved Munich Oktoberfest, the ever-popular TOPS at SPAR Bierfest will once again serve up it’s unique ‘celebration of the suds’, recreating the revelry, tradition and, of course, the tastes of this epic annual German celebration.
