Last year Pretoria’s first Capital Craft Beer Festival took place at the Voortrekker Monument, and if you missed it, let me assure you that you missed an awesome festival. This year Capital Craft will be combining 2 of my favourite pastimes again: Drinking beer and braaing. If you share the same passions make sure you get to the Voortrekker Monument on 14 June from 10h30.
Capital Craft brings together old traditions and new experiences. We combine the age-old tradition of drinking beer with new and exciting musical acts and introduce you to a vast variety of local micro-manufactured brews.
Date: Saturday, 14 June 2014
Venue: Voortrekker Monument, Pretoria
Time: Gates Open at 10h30AM – 18h00PM
Tickets: Pre-Sold online, R120 at the Gate.
Win Free Tickets
Read on if you’d like to win some free tickets and free chow.
Micro-breweries have fast become the tasty and trendy alternative to commercially brewed beers. The painstaking efforts taken to brew and mature these specialist beers can be tasted with each and every sip. At the Capital Craft Beer fest, you will be able to sample beers by 19 different micro brewers from all over the country, showcasing 91 different beers.
Some Useful Things to Know About the Beer Fest:
- There will be an off sales area that will open at 12:30 where you can purchase bottles to take home.
- We will be using a token system. How this works, is that you buy tokens and then you can get beer with the tokens.
- Entrance, token stand and off sales area will have card machines.
- Please bring picnic blankets or camping chairs.
- We do have card machines but please do bring cash. There are ATM machines at the Monument around the corner from the beer festival site.
- At the gate you will be given a site map containing all the info of where to find the brewers and toilets etc.
- The Monument charges R10 per car for parking.
OK… so I mentioned free tickets and free chow earlier?

Mitchell’s and Drayman’s are old favourites of mine, but looking forward to trying the beers from Boston Breweries! Please hook me up BraaiBoy!
I’d love to visit, as I want to hear from Beer lovers which Gauteng breweries we need to add to the #99bottles at Beerhouse Fourways, opening soon. Never tasted the Megallywood brews, hence very much looking for…
Braaiboy you are my inspiration for a braai regardless of weather. As a kid in the good old RSA we used to ride our kaskarre down the Voortrekker Monument road. It would be awesome to re-visit the monument, have sunny skies, beer and braaiboy. Thank you for your contribution to keeping braais alive and sharing your knowledge.
Hi BraaiBoy! Ek sal wat wil gee om ‘n dag saam met jou, goeie musiek en awesome bier maakers te spandeer. Ek kan net imagine hoe awesome dit moet wees om na 1 van my all time favourite sangers, Koos Kombuis te luister met ‘n Aces Brew Worx bier in my hand. Hulle Bare Naked Blonde klink divine, sal love om uit te vind hoe proe dit…..😉🍺
