KATHRYN FOURIE & MARK MILLAR | BEER LOVERS AND HOMEBREWERS | HOWICK Favourite place to ride? Karkloof, for a couple of reasons, the main one being that the trails are just ridiculously fun and progressive. The other reason, well, we dated long distance for three years until Mark moved from JHB to Howick. We've never discussed the actual reason he moved... What’s your go-to post-ride beer? To be honest, it's usually Windhoek Draft as that's our non-craft favourite and is easy to get anywhere. But otherwise, our go-to-guy is Devil's Peak First Light Golden Ale. What is it about a post-ride beer that is just so good? There isn't much that can beat the taste of icy, bitter deliciousness. But the other thing is that it's pulls the ride together at the end. You spend time with your friends and all share war stories from the ride...and schedule the next one! DEAN LANGKILDE | HOMEBREWER & BEER DISCIPLE | JOHANNESBURG Favourite place to ride? For a good outride the riding up into Rhenosterspruit is my favorite. It has some good climbs with beautiful scenery. If I'm looking for something a bit more Technical, Hakahana or Van Gaalens is where I'd be. What’s your go-to post-ride beer? Well, considering we start most of our morning rides from Copperlake brewpub in Broadacres, it's a no-brainer that we end up there for a beer or two afterwards. My first beer after a ride is always a nice cold light lager to quench the thirst. (And then obviously move to the hoppier stuff after that) What is it about a post-ride beer that is just so good? Sharing a cold beer with your mates after good ride is hard to beat. It definitely feels like you've earned and deserve that beer after a tough morning out on the trails. FEATURE ANJA VAN ZYL | BREWER AT HEY JOE BREWING CO. | FRANSCHHOEK Favourite place to ride? Boschendal Mountain Bike Trail. Perfect single tracks with stunning views. What’s your go-to post-ride beer? Hey Joe Saison. Out on the street I would go for Striped Horse Pale Ale. What is it about a post-ride beer that is just so good? It's the perfect thirst quencher. It's usually well-deserved and it's the time to talk "war stories" to fellow riders. 38 | Winter 2018 | ontapmag.co.za
