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.

    My husband and I make Jack Black a regular stop for smash burgers, beer specials and sometimes enjoy a lovely band.

    The food was great! The music was too loud and didn't allow for conversation. Its as though an older crowd is not welcome. Our waitress was completely unattentive. We struggled to get her attention, she didn't check on us to see if we were okay. We spent about 30 minutes trying to get her attention just to get the bill. She finally delivered the bill and then we couldn't find her to pay so we had to go to the counter and ask someone there to let us pay. Really not great service at all.

    The pies were delicious but they are dished up on a flat board with gravy

    Half price burgers are a steal. Would pay full price as well. One of the top burgers in Cape Town. Ribs are amazing, and poppers are delicious! Ambiance could be a bit more cosy for winter- but after all it's in a brewery.
