Occupying a two-storey Victorian building, the former premises of Bead Merchants of Africa,[2] The Beerhouse comprises a long bar, inside lounge/dining area and outside terrace with historic wrought-iron balcony.[3][4]

The brainchild of German entrepreneur, Randolf Jorberg, Beerhouse stocks bottled and draught beer from 13 countries, 99 bottled beers of various styles all numbered and displayed on a beer wall, and 15-20 beers on tap.[5]

As a proponent of the local craft beer revolution, Beerhouse has a strong bias towards supporting South African micro-breweries [6] of which the Western Cape boasts over 100.[7] In addition to clear, weiss and experimental brews, traditional African beer, Umqombothi, made from corn, sorghum malt and yeast is available.

The Beerhouse carries through its theme with beer keg wash-basins in the wash-rooms[8] and is featured in Thrillist's "21 Best Beer Bars in the World"[9]

Brew Food Fusion

Beerhouse pioneered its Brew Food Fusion menu in August 2017 in association with TV's Ultimate Braai [barbecue] Master Winner Piet Marais.[10][11] The menu centres around meat prepared using beer and in-house hardwood smokers.[12]

Branches

A second Beerhouse in Fourways, Johannesburg, opened in July 2014.[13]

Beerhouse Centurion

A third Beerhouse in Centurion, Pretoria, opened in November 2016, taking over the premises of the Firkin Pub, which closed after 21 years.[14]

Expansion

The Beerhouse aims to open 20 Beerhouse outlets across South Africa by 2020.[15]
