Capital Craft – Let’s Talk Beer Academy Nights
”Let’s talk Beer” kicked off loud, proud and with a huge bang at Capital Craft. This Beer Academy Nights seem to happen twice a month, so there is no excuse to not drop in and take a class, sorry glass…
Host Gerlant Willemsen from Belgian Beers, had all that attended the “training” session or those who visited the Restaurant, sitting at his feet. This, because of him, telling the greatest stories and origin about each and every type of beer that was available to taste.
Some crypted notes from class: Belgian beers can be top fermented, bottom fermented, spontaneously fermented and can be flavored with fruits like cherry or with spices like coriander, aniseed or liquorice wood. The Belgian Trading Company now imports some of these unique beers into South Africa. For the first time a range of top-rated Belgian beers is now locally available.
I can vouch for three things; that all the beers are brewed with passion, have a twist in their names like “Kriek” and taste “lekker”, all in a traditional manner that goes back to the middle ages.
A person cannot live from drinking alone, so we say thank you to Capital Craft for ensuring that all could indulge in their great food.
Well that is a wrap from my side. It was a brilliant “kuiertjie” with the most epic stories, stunning and brilliant people. Lets’ not forget our electricity provider who also passed by to say “hello”.
Cheers!
