Description
At Soul Barrel Brewing, we aim to create a world-class South African beer culture by brewing artisanal, innovative beer that reflects our time, place, and personality. We believe real beer is made with soul. Our brewing showcases our passion for local ingredients, hoppy ales, old-world barrel fermentations and our uncompromising commitment to quality.

We believe beer is the greatest beverage in the world. Savouring an amazing brew can be a life changing experience. Our brewery exists to contribute to these epic moments. The brewery is in the heart of the Cape Winelands outside of Franschhoek, built within the old tank walls of the former Drakenstein Cooperative Winery.
