As a young man, Chris Barnard, founder of Boston Breweries was curious to discover more of the world and to see what lay beyond his African home. Having completed his training in computer studies at age 21, he explored Europe where he tasted and enjoyed many different styles of beer – from German Weizen to Greek lagers.
When he eventually returned home to Cape Town, he was disappointed to find that his local beer drinking options did not live up to the flavoursome tastes he was accustomed to. Not one to accept things as they are, Chris gradually began experimenting with the brewing process and a few years later, after a fact-finding tour to Southern Germany, Chris purchased a 100-litre system and brewing began to take place. It was not long before demand exceeded his 100-litre capacity. It was at this stage that his dream of building a viable brewery became a reality.
All Boston Breweries products are naturally brewed using malted barley, water, yeast and hops.
That's more than 1000 in dog deals. Or 20. We can never remember which way round the math works.
But what we can remember is this irrefutable nugget of truth: more deals means more sales a greater selection for our beloved customers and therefore a higher chance of finding something they like.
Happy shopping!
