Devils Peak Brewing Company

Devil's Peak Brewing Company is a South African brewery located at the base of Devils Peak mountain in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Kings Blockhouse IPA
The Kings Blockhouse IPA, named after a military blockhouse on Devils Peak, is the flagship IPA from Devils Peak Brewing Company. It is a hoppy ,bitter and moderately strong, India pale ale.

It won "best beer on show" at the 2011, 2012 and 2014 Cape Town Festival of Beer and the 2014 Johannesburg Festival of Beer and was the winner of the 2014 SAB Craft Brewer Championship.

First Light Golden Ale
First Light Golden Ale is described as an "easy drinking" session ale. The brewery regards this ale as a good introduction to craft beer.

It was named because the eastern-facing slopes of Devils Peak are amongst the first to see the early morning sunlight in Cape Town.

Woodhead Amber Ale
The Woodhead Amber Ale is a take on the red ales of the United States' Pacific Northwest and has a slightly hoppier finish compared with other South African examples of this style.

Its name was derived from the Woodhead Dam, one of the five dams built on Table Mountain at the turn of the 20th century to supply water to Cape Town.

Silvertree Saisson
The Silvertree Saison is a moderately bitter ale brewed in the traditional manner. It is often used as the base for many of the barrel aged beers produced at the brewery.

Silvertree was named after the endangered Silvertrees (Leucadendron argenteum), which are endemic to a small area of the Cape Peninsula, in and around the city of Cape Town, South Africa. The Silver Tree is a protected tree in South Africa and still grows wild on the slopes of Devil's Peak.

English Ale
With a slightly lower alcohol level, the Devils Peak English Ale is a well-balanced, a take on the 'Special' bitters found in England. It is designed to be a sessionable beer with lower levels of bitterness.

American Pale Ale
Based on the American West Coast Pale Ale, this brew uses American hops to give it a strong hop presence while a lower alcohol level ensures it's a good session pale ale.

Black IPA
Black IPAs are still a fairly new style of beer, generally regarded as showcasing slight malt with light to medium roast notes and a similar level of hoppy as standard American IPA's. They are often also referred to as India Dark Ales, India Black Ales, Cascadian Dark Ales, Dark IPAs, or India Brown Ales.

Imperial IPA
Based on an American Imperial India Pale Ale, it is a hop beer with a strong flavor and higher alcohol content.

Vannie Hout
Vannie Hout is a Brett-infused, barrel-aged, farmhouse ale. It is kept for six months in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wine barrels, imparting the unique character of the wood and some of the flavor of previous contents.

Vin de Saisson
Vin de Saisson is a beer and wine hybrid, which uses grape must (juice) during the brewing process. The regular Vin de Saisson Devils Peak incorporates 20% Chenin Blanc into the brewing process, imparting a fresh aroma and crisp grape derived acidity.
