HOMEBRU SOUTH AFRICA'S RAISE A GLASS TO This year’s South African National Homebrew Champs saw 84 beers entered from seven of our provinces (come on Mpumalanga and North West!) Our ever-innovative homebrewers submitted everything from light lagers to an umqombothi/wheat beer hybrid, a historic German Dampfbier and a beetroot saison. Cape-based Stephan Marais took the top spot with his English Barley Wine – the only beer he has brewed this year. We sat down with him to find out how, when and what he brews.
