Bierfest the place to be

JOHANNESBURG lager lovers are once again in for a treat at this year’s TOPS at SPAR Bierfest to be held at Montecasino from October 9 to 11. Festival goers will go on a taste-shaping, froth-making journey of discovery with a superb selection of brews from presenting partner and specialty beer brand, No 3. Fransen Street.

Fransen Street specialty brewer Warren Wiese, says beer enthusiasts will be treated to the brewery’s three small-batch brands delicious Cream Ale, a mild and refreshing beer with a medium finish and delicious toffee flavours, a traditional Krystal Weiss wheat beer with its refreshingly different, lightly sour banana and clove character, as well as the pert Red Ale of Irish origin, sporting a rich, candy, caramel malt flavour.

Fans can expect the long-time favourite and limited edition Bavarian-styled Royal Bavaria Oktoberfest Bier. “The brewery’s philosophy has always been to uniquely craft each specialty beer style, batch by batch, one at a time from start to end and this is a tradition that our master brewers continue to pride themselves upon,” says Warren.

Alongside top German-inspired food, toe-tapping entertainment and heaps of hilarity plus the coolest competitions at this year’s TOPS at Spar Bierfest, Master Brewers will also be on hand to enlighten beer-curious attendees with insider info and anecdotes at Bierfest’s Braumeister Ecke aka Brewmasters Corner.

“We are hoping that each beer will be a discovery and an adventure,” says brand campaign manager for No. 3 Fransen Street, Maki Mofokeng.

All packages can be booked through the official TOPS at SPAR Bierfest website, www.bierfest.co.za, or through the Facebook page, SA Bierfest.

The event is not open to visitors under the age of 18.
