Cape Town
The urban craft quarter — brewhouses and copper stills.
Not a vineyard in sight: converted warehouses in Salt River, Woodstock and Diep River, drawing Table Mountain water and a harbour city's trading instincts. The engine room of Cape craft brewing and distilling.

All producers →Hope Distillery
Cape Town's first grain-to-glass craft distillery, run from a converted Salt River warehouse. Small-batch gins and vodka made slowly, on stills the founders raised themselves.
Devil's Peak Brewing Company
The brewery that dragged South African beer out of the lager monoculture. From the slopes of its namesake mountain, Devil's Peak built the country's IPA benchmark.
Jack Black's Brewing Co
One of the Cape's original craft pioneers, brewing out of Diep River since before 'craft' was a shelf. The taproom lawns are a Cape Town institution.
