Some interesting stuff going into the fridge. Tripel Trubel, Purple Haze, Dark Vader and 6string harp. Get it while it lasts.

This fine Ipa is in the Mash Tun today. 6string harp, made famous by Tommy who used to work on the docks. 1 hop for each string. Southern Star, Amarillo, El Dorado, Mosaic, Sabro and Southern Sublime.

If you missed the Gatekeeper, Some motley brewers have decided to make version 2. Check this space in 4 weeks for the awesome 13.5% Triple Ipa at Spinal Tap.

The Rye Ipa is called Dusk but it can be enjoyed in the afternoon as well.

We are brewing the first beer in our 12 beers of Christmas today. Our Hoppy Christmas ale today. Spicy, hoppy, strong. This reminds me of a Christmas cake you can drink. 😉

**New beer alert** It's the time of year in the deep south of Cape Town when days get warm and the sea is cold and the Noordhoek fog rolls in. A Hazy Ipa with a lot of tropical notes, 50Ibus at 6.4%.

New Beer alert! Cremora Hazy DIPA. 93IBU 7.8% It's not inside, it's on...tap and very nice. Hop heads will really like this one.
