The Stellenbosch Craft Beer Festival (SCBF) is a bi-annual event, based in the picturesque Jan Marais Nature Reserve in Stellenbosch. "Combining the best in local food, craft beer, craft gin and local entertainment, the event has gained a family of followers over the past eight years and aims to present some of the latest and most loved craft brews at the upcoming event: Saturday 5 March. ...

The craft beer experience has taken micro brewing and micro distilling to a new level in recent years and we now see the emergence of not only craft gin, but also agave based spirits, rum, mead and much more.

Visitors are encouraged to test their pallets and try new varieties. This year, the event will also for the first time include a non-alcoholic cocktail bar, with a selection of fresh pressed juice-based cocktails.

The SCBF is a family-friendly, day outing suitable for everyone. Bring your friends and family and enjoy the food, beverages and live bands from 12pm to 7pm. There is ample seating and shade, but bring your camping chairs, picnic blankets and beach umbrellas if you feel like getting more comfortable.

Gates open at 11am and live music starts around noon. Tickets are available at Quicket.co.za.

Access to the event will be from the main entrance of the Jan Marais Nature Reserve and ample parking is available on the gravel area on the Merriman side of the park.

“We do however suggest that groups make use of carpool and ride share facilities to avoid drinking and driving. We look forward to hosting a great event. For line up confirmation, brewery and competition announcements please follow our event page on Facebook,” Van der Merwe adds.

The study looked at five relevant metrics in each city, which were scored to create an overall ‘Technological growth score’ out of 100. For each city, these included:
  • The growth in the number of internet users in 2021 vs the previous year;
  • The internet penetration rate as of January 2021;
  • The growth in the number of social media users in 2021 vs the previous year;
  • The number of social media users as a percentage of the total population;
  • The growth or decline in the number of mobile connections in 2021 vs the previous year;
  • The number of mobile connections as a percentage of the total population.
Cape Town was ranked the 14th tech savvy city in the world, scoring a total index score of 56.7 out of 100, 168.505% of the city’s population are connected via mobile phones. Just 41.9% of the population are present on social media, one of the lowest percentages in the index.
