On Tap is South Africa’s first dedicated beer publication - a quarterly magazine aimed at craft brewers, homebrewers, beer fanatics and those just beginning to dip their proverbial toe into the mash tun. The views expressed in individual articles are the personal views of the authors and are not necessarily shared by the editor, the advertisers or the publisher. No articles may be reproduced in any way without the written consent of the publisher. Jayden is a South African writer and aviator living abroad. Home is where the pint rests! Through short stories, coffee table books, and magazines, Jayden takes his readers on a journey through the playground of his life and imagination as he hops from one adventure to the next. On page 31 he takes us on a tour of the taprooms and bars of Chicago. Jayden King Shortly after beginning home brewing in 2011, Carl realised that beer was something special. He and four friends founded their own microbrewery in 2014, and Carl continues making beers to this day under the 400 Brewing Co. name. In his first piece for On Tap, he tackles one of the most oft-asked questions in beer – find out what it is on page 48. Carl Nienaber Marcel is a beer geek who’s been brewing for over a decade and still gets things wrong. He teaches brewing, writes, and spends more money on beer than is wise. Find him at beginnerbrewer.com . You can listen to his podcast about beer and geekery: Scum, Beer & Villainy, on iTunes. Marcel is our in-house homebrew expert and also gives brewers tips on marketing – check them out on page 45. Marcel Harper Rob is a home brewer, BJCP beer judge and all-round beer geek. He loves everything about beer, be it the science, the history, or the practical nature. His life quest is to brew the perfect English Bitter. Rob is our resident list maker – check out his Brewer’s Dozen column on page 38. Rob Cass Elise is a freelance travel journalist who was recently baptised into the world of craft breweries when she was invited to sip her way across the Eastern Cape’s new Craft Brewery Route. As a result, she’s graduated from occasional craft beer tasting to being a true convert. Read about Elise’s Eastern Cape trip on page 34. Elise Kirsten 4 | Autumn 2022 | ontapmag.co.za
