Castle Lager

Bought for me by Craig Stone a customer of mine from Bodmin this is South Africa's most famous lager and his favourite.



A unique aftertaste that's not too shabby, could drink on a session as very moorish. Scores 8.2 MWB



The name comes from the fact the brewery was established at the Fort (later replaced by the Castle in central Cape Town) as early as 1658. I loves a bit of history with my lager.

Country of Origin:  South Africa
Brewed in: Cape Town
Alc: 5% VOL

Description from 'The Savanna' Website.

The taste of South Africa, Castle Lager is a full-flavoured, thirst-quenching must! Castle lager is a 5% pale lager that has been a staple drink since1895. Castle Lager is an internationally awarded and well-balanced beer. From barley to bottling, it takes a patient 18 days in total to create a Castle Lager and that’s why Castle Lager has been awarded many times over, from gold medals to the "World's Best Bottled Lager".
