Quality German Beer in Africa
Where German beer, food & culture meets African Hospitality.
Brauhaus Afrika is a brewery, restaurant & trading post combining the craftsmanship and passion of German beer & food with freedom & the magnificent spirit of Afrika.
All our beers are strictly brewed according to the Bavarian “Reinheitsgebot” of 1516. It is the oldest cuisine and beverage law in the world. This law states that only water, barley malt and hops may be used to produce beer. Yeast had yet to be discovered.
These last days of summer are perfect for outdoor activities!
Mankwe GAMETRACKERS is at Brauhaus on weekends and currently have the following activities available:
Quad Bike Drive - Adults R500pp Kids 9-15 R250pp (1 hour)
Archery - R200pp (+- 45 minute)

Some interesting facts about coffee roasting a Brauhaus.
Estate coffee, as the name indicates, typically comes from a single farm and is homogeneous and consistent.
We however like to use smallholder coffee from East Africa. These smallholder famers farm anything from 10 - 100 coffee trees, often accross a larger region. All the harvested coffee gets sent to a central co-operative where it is graded and bagged.
This complexity makes for an equally interesting cup. Once in a while a stray maize finds its way into our coffee, making for a most intensely coffee flaovoured popcorn snack for the roaster!

We are smoking .....COLD!
German meat is nothing without that special smokey taste - and we acquire that taste by cold smoking most of our products. While most industrial meat suppliers use "liquid smoke" to give their products a smokey flavour, we prefer the old school natural way.
A fire is made with dried corn cobs, we then "smother" the fire so that the cobs only smoulder and place it into our custom built smoker. Most products are smoked over a 2 day period - also giving them their special colours.
If you see smoke coming from our chimney - there was definitely a fire! On special days the smell also fills the restaurant adding to the atmosphere.
Our smoked products are both used in the restaurant in some of the dishes and sold in the shop.

Apart from our German meats (which are obviously made in South Africa) - some German Products are just better when made by real Germans in Germany - luckily you can also buy some super German products in our shop - including Sauerkraut and Mustards. We also import some speciality products from the Dutch (not the "Duitsters") including drop! (Stroopwafels are tend to get old so we are lucky to have a local manufacturer @Holland Bakkery supply us with them)
A few weeks ago we (the Schlotfeldt family) had the previlige of spending a day with Jurgen and Matthias from Euro Meats who taught us a few tricks on preparing german speciality meats.
We are proud to announce that the first products of our Meat range is now ready and being sold kn the Handelshaus.
Products in stock include Bratwurst, Smoked Mettwurst, Speck, Smoked Kassler, Brawn ( Sulze) and much more!

Märzen is the German word for “March”!
Beer is a natural product and spoils in the heat!
That is why brewing in summer in Germany was banned from 1539 onwards and brewing was only allowed from September to April.
Märzen beer, however, was brewed especially strong to make it last longer over the summer. The beer was also stored in deep, cool cellars, above which chestnut trees provided shade.
From the summer of 1812, beer was allowed to be
served above these cellars: the beer garden was born!

Beer Facts - 2
“NOT ALL BEER IS THE SAME
Hops, barley and malt produce countless types of beer including: pale, dark, strong Bock, wheat beer, and Märzen.
The roasting level of the malt determines the beer colour, making it pale and light or dark and intense.
The bottom-fermenting yeast of these beers ferments only at cold temperatures. For this reason, brewing in summer used to be banned in Germany.
Wheat beer is top-fermented. The dukes in Germany had a monopoly on its production until 1798.”
