MOUNTAIN BREWING CO IS WORCESTER’S FIRST AND FINEST CRAFT BREWERY, BASED IN THE KLIPBOKKOP MOUNTAIN RESERVE. SET IN THE WESTERN CAPE, WE GAIN OUR INSPIRATION FROM THE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINOUS AND FYNBOS SURROUNDINGS. ALL MOUNTAIN BREWING CO BREWS ARE BREWED WITH THE FINEST SPRING WATER, FROM IT’S SOURCE HIGH UP IN THE KLIPBOKKOP RESERVE MOUNTAINS. THE 8 WEEKS BREWING TIME FITS IN WITH THE UNHURRIED LIFESTYLE OF THE AREA, ALLOWING OUR BEERS TO BECOME FULL FLAVOURED QUALITY BREWS. MOUNTAIN BREWING COMPANY BELIEVES IN USING QUALITY PRODUCTS TO BREW OUTSTANDING BEER, AND THE QUALITY OF MOUNTAIN BREWING COMPANY’S BEERS HAS BEEN NOTICED AND AWARDED 6 NATIONAL GOLD MEDALS FOR FIVE OF ITS BEERS.
THIS BEER IS “LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT”, WITH A NEAT, BEAUTIFUL AMBER COLOUR BLENDING WELL WITH THE BISCUIT MALTY TASTE. THIS “ALT BIER” (OLD BEER) STYLE ALE IS CONDITIONED LIKE A LAGER FOR 2 WEEKS. CAPE KRAKEN WON A GOLD MEDAL AT THE SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL BEER TROPHY AWARDS IN 2015; IT WAS THE FIRST OF MANY AWARDS AND THIS WAS ACHIEVED IN OUR FIRST YEAR OF BREWING. IN 2018 THE BEER WON AN AWARD FOR IT’S LABEL DESIGN, PROVING THAT THIS BEER IS THE WHOLE PACKAGE.
A True Cherry Ale Experience
CHERRY STUMPIE IS MADE WITH THE FINEST LOCAL CHERRIES CREATING A FINE FRUITOSE CHERRY BEER. THE BEER HAS A LOW HOPPINESS TASTE AND IS NOT TOO SWEET, WITH A DIVINE TARTY AFTERTASTE. THE BEER GUARANTEES TO QUENCH THE THIRST ON A SUMMERY AFTERNOON. CHERRY STUMPIE HS BEEN A REAL HIT SINCE ITS RELEASE IN 2017, WITH MANY INDULGING THEMSELVES IN MORE THAT ONE BEER.
Local Vienna Lager Variation
A TRADITIONAL AUSTRIAN LAGER WITH A ZESTY TWIST LIKE A PALE ALE. THIS AUSTRIAN LAGER IS LOVED ALL OVER THE WORLD EVEN AS FAR AS MEXICO. WE BROUGHT OUR OWN LOCAL SOUTH AFRICAN TOUCH TO THIS ALE. THE SCENERY ON THE LABEL IS THE ACTUAL VIEW SEEN FROM KLIPBOKKOP AND FROM THE BREWHOUSE PUB. THE BEER SHOWED IT’S CLASS IN 2016 BY WINNING A GOLD MEDAL IN THE SANBT AWARDS, AND TAKING HOME THE “BEST AMBER IN SHOW” AWARD.
Pale Lager with a hint of Fynbos Honey
THIS LAGER IS PRIMED WITH NATURAL UNFILTERED FYNBOS HONEY, GIVING IT A GENTLE HONEY AROMA AND CREAMY HEAD. LAAGERED FOR 3 MONTHS TO A CRISP. IF YOU’RE NEW TO CRAFT BEER THIS CAN QUICKLY BECOME A FAVOURITE. EVERY SOUTH AFRICAN KNOWS WHERE THE LOADSHED NAME COMES FROM, BUT IT’S ALSO ABOUT RELAXING AFTER A STRESSFUL DAY AND NOT TO LOSE OUR SENSE OF HUMOUR. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS THE BEER HAS BEEN AWARDED TWO SILVER MEDALS, SHOWING THAT IT HAS A CONSISTENT QUALITY.
A BEAUTIFULLY BALANCED IPA
This IPA is by far a maltier IPA than the East Coast IPA, with an outstanding balance of hoppiness with an older edition of hop to capture these flavours, so what you smell is what you taste. Templar has been a long time in the making, and this was rewarded in both the 2017 and 2018 SANBT awards. Best drunk slightly chilled but not cold.
