Foresters Draught (3.6% Alcohol)

A light (both in colour & body), refreshing Pilsner-type beer, which is sweetish and light on the palate. A slightly aromatic beer which is lightly hopped and VERY invigorating on a hot day. Also a favourite with the ladies.

Bosuns Bitter (3.6% Alcohol)

The first "REAL ALE" produced in South Africa. A not too bitter ale modeled on the line of the English Yorkshire Bitter. Full bodied and characterful, this beer has much to offer those who are looking for flavour

Mitchell's Old 90 /Ale (Ninety Shilling) (5% Alcohol)

A heavy spicy ale, with gloriously round, full palate. Let this traditional Scottish Ale take you back in time as you savour the complex aromatic notes and full - bodied amber glow. Do, however treat it with respect!

Raven Stout (5.0% Alcohol)

Black, full bodied, and very flavourful. A medium strength stout, very smooth on the palate and exhibiting a pronounced bitter and distinct hop aroma, a well balanced milk stout - great for a winter's evening or any other time!

Millwood Premium (3.6% Alcohol)

A smooth tasting, full bodied lager with plenty of character. Easy drinking draught lager, ideal for any occasion
