Enjoy a memorable beer experience and a taste of history at the Newlands Brewery set on the banks of the Liesbeek River in the heart of Newlands. Beer was first brewed in South Africa by Pieter Visagie in 1658, but the refreshing drink dates back to approximately 9500 BC, when cereal was first farmed.
