Our Taproom's open year-round and is home to fresh beer, great food, live music, and some truly epic community events. We also host tours and tastings where you can learn more about all full range of beers, right from the source. We also have a retail store selling merchandise and growlers – available for purchase and refill.

In 2016 we opened the doors to our brand-new home in Diep River, Cape Town. Initially, we opened the Taproom as a space for friends and customers to come for a beer, meet the team, and understand the passion that goes into every batch we brew. But soon one day, we decided to open our doors to the world - and we were blown away by the turnout and overwhelmed by the love and support. Hundreds of people went out of their way and queued to get in – in the pouring rain!

That night we learnt that we're part of an amazing community consisting of all walks of life. A bunch of people that can't think of anything better than coming together with a pint of ice-cold Jack Black beer. So, we decided to keep the doors to our Taproom open and crafted a delicious, permanent food menu - including our signature burgers and fries as well as some delicious vegan bites.

    Best burgers in Cape Town with such great service and a vibe for us - and our doggo! Also - do yourself a favour and order the chicken strips to snack on before, too good!

    Excellent food, great value due to the weekly Wednesday special, and the best craft beer available. The service was incredibly quick, friendly and efficient.

    Service was awesome and the craft beer didn’t disappoint, definitely one of my top favourites. Food was okay-ish.

    Always had good burgers, great beer and excellent service - this time it was lacking - burgers smaller, less chip's and not as tasty - service surprisingly slow

    Amazing steak, I had mine with a salad.. it was perfectly cooked, thank you. Then my friends had the burger of the month and raved about it. Service was good.. even though he was my son... Great to be there as a guest as always. Thanks Ty and taproom team. X Mom
