Beer, beer, glorious beer!Beer is very vogue. It’s approachable, it’s relatively inexpensive and – once you’ve acquired the taste – it’s delicious.
CC attribution lupinehorror on Flickr It’s super chic even in SA. In fact &Union, Jack Black and the Neighbourhood Goods Market have joined forces to present SA’s first Craft Beer Festival. Here small, independently owned breweries will showcase their produce under the Real Beer banner.
Tres exciting if real beer, food and the personalities that accompany these two cult-crafts is your thing.

A Few 2010 Franschhoek Bastille Festival PicturesWe had such a wonderful time at the 2010 Franschhoek Bastille Festival, last weekend, that we thought we’d share some of the fun with those who couldn’t attended. The Chef and The General Manager having a fabulous time setting the Le Quartier Français and Bread & Wine stands.
Archie, ever the educator, taking some time out to explain to the Môreson team where Mademoiselle Lamb Burgers come from.
The Saturday crowd. It was like this from 12:00 – 18:00. Madness!
Judging by the crowds, and the reports we’ve already received, Bastille is a festival that is going from strength to strength. Well done to everyone who took part and big thank you to the FWVTA – and in particular Darielle – for your excellent organisation.
