Crafty Brands (SXOLLIE Xider)

Cidery in Grabouw, Western Cape, South Africa 🇿🇦

Grabouw, South Africa
Description
Not quite sure where this brewery is actually based.

A now merged brewery came in as being from Nederburg, South Africa but the 'Crafty Brands' located there is permanently closed, according to Google Maps, whereas the website seems quite alive.

Another address that I found is "Wildepaardejacht, Klein Drakenstein, Nederburg", but that's on a different location.

Both locations are in the city of Paarl, but the one I merged into is in Grabouw, where it currently is residing for BV.

The website claims the company to be based in London ( SXOLLIE, 15 Spring Bridge Mews, Ealing, W5 2AB )

See admin notes for more information.

Klar uten skum. Boblene er der. Lukter gule epler og søt hvitvin. Ganske fizzy og søt i munnfølelse. Smaker golden delicious epler.

Bottle from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Salford Quays. Lighter golden cider with a mild but effective apple sweetness. Coupled with a manageable strength it's a pleasant drink.
