After the kids have dragged you the length and breadth of the Nasrec showgrounds, taking in the huge variety of top-class entertainment at this year’s Rand Show, it will be time for a cold one at the Rand Show’s Microbrewery Festival.
Microbrewers from across the country will be setting up at the Rand Show, showcasing the unique taste of some of South Africa’s finest handcrafted beers such as Gravedigger, a blonde ale from Three Skulls Brew Works, or Old Wobbly, a lager from Mitchell’s Brewery, the oldest craft brewery in the country.
Seven microbreweries have confirmed, and more still to come:
- Mitchell’s Brewing from Knysna
- De Garve Brewery from Vanderbijlpark
- The Mogallywood Restaurant Bar and Brewery (Boozah Breweries) up in the Magaliesberg
- Darling Brew from the Western Cape
- Three Skulls Brew Works from Sandton
- Gilroy’s Brewery from Muldersdrift
- Everson’s Cider from Elgin
Home brewing kits will also be on offer from folks like Tradeger Brewing Concepts in Germiston, and catch a demonstration on how easy it is to get involved in this hobby.
But if you’d rather leave it to the pros, you can stock up instead on your favourite beers at the breweries’ stalls.
The Easter Rand Show, from 6-15 April is predicted to be un-beer-lievable.

The lovable Jim Derks takes us to Austin Home Brew to find out how to brew his own damn beer. This video was not made by or for Austin Home Brew, I just added their information at the end incase you’d like more information on how to brew your own beer.
