LATEST EDITION

It’s not an easy thing, writing about beer — Beer festivals! New beer releases! Award-winning beers! — when you can’t actually drink any. Alcohol consumption is of course discouraged during pregnancy, however, how thrilled was I to find out that beer specifically may help with lactation?! You can expect more from me on that subject in a future issue (is there research to back up this claim?). Or, perhaps you can just come find me sitting at Foresters Arms or Barristers here in Cape Town sometime this Winter, nursing both an infant and a much-missed pint of Guinness.

In the meantime, with this Autumn edition — and given the recent celebration of Valentine’s Day — we get to hear the story of how one couple fell in love over beer, and all these years later, still find joy and connection through this shared passion.
