If you want beer, then Soweto is the place to be
JOBURG - All roads will lead to Soweto on 25 October for the annual Soweto Beer Festival at the SHAP Stadium.
Good friends, great food and an appreciation of local as well as internationally brewed beer brands in cans, is what revellers can expect at this year’s Soweto Beer Festival.
The festival will take place from 25 to 28 October at Shap Stadium, opposite Mofolo Park in Soweto, from 2pm until late every day.
The 15th annual Soweto Beer Festival, conceptualised by Godfrey Mautloa, owner of the popular Masakeng Restaurant and Bar in Mofolo, in partnership with CAN DO!, Nampak Bevcan’s consumer-facing brand, has enjoyed overwhelming success and growth since its inception in 1999.
This once small in-house event has evolved into the biggest social event in Soweto. The four day ‘can-only’ event aims to generate appreciation for South African beverage products, promote local music, grow Soweto as a major tourist attraction and encourage responsible safe drinking in the country’s vibrant Gauteng townships.
“The festival brings together great Sowetan cuisine including, pap & vleis, kotas and magwinya, live entertainment and the opportunity to taste locally brewed umqombothi, and over 40 beer brands from around the world,” Mautloa said.
