Berg River Brewery, Paarl

It has been a while since I last visited the brewery and I was very impressed to see how they have grown. The tasting room has expanded to now include more seating inside as well as a small garden area, so a nice option to visit during summer or winter. The brewery now has a food truck and a big screen where they show certain sporting events. The garden outside has lawns where the kids can play safely and within view of the main seating area which means parents can also comfortably enjoy everything the Berg River Brewery has to offer. The entire group decided to do the full tasting which consisted of a Lager, Blonde Ale, Kristal Weiss, Pale Ale, Saison and Heller Bok. I really enjoyed the Saison and Pale Ale and ended up buying some Pale Ale to take home. While I was waiting for my friends to arrive I had a chat with one of the staff members. He was really passionate about the brewery and gave me a lot of background which I think makes you appreciate the beers even more. I am definitely making a plan to visit them in the summer again and maybe grab something to eat while enjoying their tasty beers.

Bergrivier brewery is a lovely place to go when it is very hot because they have misters up outside and ice cold beer. My boyfriend and I went there and he was craving nachos, but the kitchen was already closed. The lady behind the bar was so nice she said that she would make the nachos for us especially. The decor is steampunk and very nice to look at. They have a small menu with some German cuisine and nachos!! If you don't know which beer you'd like, they let you taste them all
