  • Seven Types Of People In Cape Town Who Give Craft Beer A Bad Name

    Craft beer sure has brought a whole new level of snobbery to beer consumption.

    As more and more craft beer brands are served in bars around South Africa, beer drinkers’ personal preferences are almost just as bad as those who turn up their nose to adding ice to their chardonnay.

    But the real testing part is when you venture to those craft beer serving bars with a few mates.

    From choosing what to drink, to the conversation that happens around each person’s choice, we are pretty sure you will probably be able to identify either yourself or one of your friends from this list of characters :

    1. The “inb4” person

    It’s the person who claims they were drinking craft beer long before it became popular. They might even add a little dig about how today’s most popular craft beer tasted different back in the day. Just don’t ask where exactly they were able to source such witchcraft, as they would never share their wisdom.

    2. The beer snob

    The most common craft beer is mere muck to them. If it hasn’t been touched by the hands of the brewing god then they won’t touch the stuff either.

    Not interested in craft beer at all? You heathen, you.

    3. The wine taster

    It’s quite difficult to find a craft beer without flavour or smell. But there’s always the person who wants to point out the hint of burnt toast, or the subtle taste of the five-day-old blueberry, and you’re just rolling your eyes because it all tastes the same: hoppy.

    4. The IPA bore

    Yes, IPA is a favourite among many and sure, there’s a lot to talk about when it comes to pale ales, but we don’t give two hoots. IPA fanatics can take their long-winded debates to the online forums and keep them there.

    Pilsner for the win! [Oops, did I say something wrong?]

    5. The craft beer hipster

    Although we can credit hipsters for the craft beer revitalisation, there’s no doubt they are super annoying. On the hunt for the realest craft beer around, they are essentially looking for that one craft beer that no one has heard of yet.

    Either that, or it’s a night out which inevitably descends into a philosophical discussion about whether success can change the essence of what something is.

    Could even be both, but you don’t get to choose.

    6. The moaner

    Depending on the level of moaning, this is either the best or worst person to take craft beer tasting. Complaining comes easily to them, but noting a bad point about each and every beer can get the crowd laughing or get them a smack in the face.

    Next time, it might be safer to go wine tasting because beer clearly ain’t their thang.

    7. The bartender’s worst nightmare

    This is the dude who asks the bartender a million and one questions, but forgets the answer to every one. Worst is, you happen to be next in line.

    Just choose one, buddy, you can try another for your next round.

    That’s why The Taproom has it down. Situated in Salt River, it serves a great, limited selection of brews from Devil’s Peak Brewery, and offers a tasting platter just in case you’re not sure which to get.

    Other than beer that’s on tap, cold and delicious, The Taproom has epic views and delicious food so no one will be left unhappy.
