Dunkel
Beer Story
This Dark Coloured Lager (not a stout!) is appreciated for a full body of malty flavours; whilst still being refreshing and crisp to taste.
Dunkel means 'dark' in German; and the beer owes its' colour and hint of coffee & caramel flavours to the roasted barley malt used in the brewing process.
The rich Malt flavours, with a hint of coffee reminded us of Africa, and it’s promise of adventure. Thus this beer is an ode to the adventurous!

Märzen
Beer Story
This amber coloured lager is a traditional festival beer enjoyed in large quantities at the Oktoberfest in Munich.
In years before refrigeration was available, this beer was brewed in the month of March (März in German) at the end of the brewing season. At this point, brewers took whatever malts they had left and created a beer with complex flavours.
To make sure it lasted until the Oktoberfest, the beer needed a slightly higher alcohol content.

Weizen
Beer Story
Made from a mix of Wheat & Barley Malt, this typical Bavarian Ale offers a unique combination of tropical & spicy flavours.
Weizen is a top fermenting beer, very lively and less bitter than a lager which produces a full, grainy flavour which is best enjoyed in a Weizen glass.
When pouring a Weizen into a glass, swirl the last few drops around to dissolve the yeast at the base. This increases the cloudiness, as is typical in a Hefeweizen.

Kölsch (styled beer)
Beer Story
It is said that to be named a true Kölsch, this beer should be brewed within sight distance of the vast Cologne cathedral. Well, we’ve seen it in pictures.
This hybrid beer from Köln is technically an ale. It is brewed using German ale yeast, yet is fermented at Lager temperatures. Brauhaus culture in Köln dictates that the beer be served fresh & fast in small glasses called flutes… to counter our African heat we follow this unwritten rule with a twist: order your Kölsch by the meter.
Our Kölsch is unfiltered, alcohol content typically 4.5%.
