Beer tasting at Bridge Street Brewery

Craft beer has very much become an in thing with many patrons preferring it over the traditional beers.  Bridge Street Brewery has brought craft beer to Port Elizabeth big time since opening in the Baakens Valley and the venue has become quite popular not just for its beer but also the excellent food they serve.  If the brewer is available they will even do brewery tours and beer tastings for groups on request.  Last week I visited Bridge Street on a media tour and they lined up their four beers and one cider for us to taste while the assistant brewer explained each one to us.  Amongst them was the Celtic Cross Premier Pilsner which won them second prize at the recent annual South African Craft Beer Championship.

    It was a good evening, thoroughly enjoyable and great to hang out with other tour operators in the city. Yes, my personal favourite is the Boar's Head Bitter and when posing for the photo I did wonder if it would make an appearance at some stage in one of your blogs.

    I love the little samplers, that way I don't feel so bad when I can't finish them all. Don't usually like Stout but with chocolate I'd make an exception.

    Bring on the Black Dragon Double Chocolate Stout. Love chocolate but the “nearly coffee flavoured taste” intrigues me.

    I didn't even know this place existed! Loved Mitchells in Knysna though, so I guess I had better visit when I am in PE next year!
