With 124 years of South African heritage, South African Breweries (SAB) has played an integral role in the social fabric of the country – and there’s not much more social than a braai on Heritage Day.
“Nothing beats celebrating Heritage Day like a true South African with boerewors on the braai, a ‘lekker’ beer bread on the side and an ice-cold beer in your hand,” said Anton Erasmus, Trade Brewer at SAB.
He said traditional braais usually consist of lots of meat, accompanied by a variety of side dishes and a dessert.
“Types of meat could range from steaks, sausages and lamb chops to chicken and sosaties. For the traditional side dish, garlic bread is always a winner, but mealies, pap or roosterkoek will also suffice. As for dessert, don’t forget the koeksisters or malva pudding to satisfy your sweet tooth.”
Below are some South African beer-inspired recipes for you to try this Heritage Day.
• BEER MARINATED BOEREWORS
