Dog and Fig Brewery

About Dog and Fig Brewery

In 2008, a group of friends joined forces to turn their love for authentic craft beers into something that everyone could enjoy. Thus was born the Dog and Fig Brewery, just outside Parys in the Free State. This micro-brewery is focussed on creating custom couture beers that steer clear of the run-of-the-mill flavours that regular beer-drinkers have come to expect.

All of the beers are made only with malted barley, water and hops. They are not filtered or pasteurised. So, those enjoying a tasting at this brewery are assured of the purest, most untainted flavours. The beers on offer here include:

The Wicked Weiss
A spicy, but refreshing wheat-based ale that is adventurous and, ultimately, refreshing.

The Agreeable Ale
This ale has plenty of flavour, smells a little fruity, and finishes off with a dry kick. It is simple, easy to drink, and a beautiful amber colour.

The Alternative Alt
This classic beer is excellent for those that love traditional flavours. It has an irresistible copper colour, malty nose, and smooth taste.

The Boisterous Buchu
Infused with aromatic herbs, this beer is for the adventurous “beerer”. There is a distinct old-Africa quality to this ale.

The Vyl Ale
This American pale ale is bitter, and offset by a subtle honey flavour and a rich hoppy smell.

The Proper Pilsner
The light colour, distinct hoppy flavour and tempting aroma of this beer makes it a great choice for most beer drinkers.

This brewery and its many different beer varieties are nestled right in the heart of the Vredefort Dome, the largest impact crater on the planet. This incredible site is made even more memorable by the excellent beers that can be sampled and enjoyed at the Dog and Fig Brewery.
