About the Clarens Craft Beer Festival
Prepare for an unparalleled craft beer experience in South Africa, set against the backdrop of Clarens, a charming village at the base of the iconic Maluti Mountains.
This festival offers an immersive journey for attendees, featuring a curated selection of South Africa's finest beers and ciders, complemented by live music, a picturesque setting, and an atmosphere that stands among the best in the country. It's an essential event for anyone eager to explore the craft beer world while soaking in a dynamic and engaging environment. As tickets tend to sell out swiftly, advance booking is highly recommended.
Each brewery is tasked with crafting at least one exclusive creation for the festival—unique offerings you won't find elsewhere. With over 150 beers and ciders to choose from, the diversity is remarkable. Additionally, you'll have the rare opportunity to meet the brewers themselves at their stands, gaining insights and tips directly from the masters behind the brews. Join us for two unforgettable days in the stunning village of Clarens, and become a part of one of the most coveted festivals in the country.
In the realm of craft beer, our brewers are not just colleagues but cherished friends. We invite you to connect with them, share their enthusiasm, and savor their exceptional selections.
To avoid disappointment it is advisable to book your accommodation well in advance for this event. Visit the Clarens Accommodation pages to find guest houses, hotels and self catering places to stay and for additional info about Clarens which includes attractions, restaurants and things to do, see Clarens Info.
