EVENTS CALENDAR DECEMBER MARCH 01 Every year on the first Saturday in February, the South African public comes together to celebrate our national beverage: beer. Events take place at bars, breweries, restaurants and liquor stores around the country. In 2019 there were over 100 events happening in almost every province. You can check out what’s happening near you on the map at www.beerday.co.za – check back often as events are constantly being added. And if you’re hosting a public event, don’t forget to submit all the details to the site. If there are no events near to you, or you don’t feel like leaving the house, just grab some beers and some friends and host your own tasting, pairing or simple afternoon sipping in the sun.
