008 started with a trip to South Africa, and visits to two new microbreweries, Napier Brewery and English style microbrewer in Napier, close
to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa and Dieu Donné a combined winery and microbrewery in scenic Franschhoek. Both offering well made,
interesting beers.
The opening days of the year has also provided some Belgian beers brought back by Björn, some American beers left over from last year and some new good pub releases - such as Struise Pannepot Grand Reserva Oak Aged. Also a number of beers from trades has been tasted, and of those St. Bernardus Abt 12 Special Edition was our favourite. | ||||||||||||
