Founded in 2010 in Somerset West, Triggerfish Brewing is one of the pioneers of South African craft beer and the second-oldest craft brewery in the greater Cape Town area.
Brewing in small, meticulous batches, they focus on mastering complex classic styles while boldly exploring innovative hybrids. Known for powerful, high-gravity beers like Barley Wine, Belgian Strong Ale and Imperial Stout, Triggerfish has built a reputation for depth, balance and intensity.
Nestled in the heart of wine country, they launched a pioneering Sour Beer Programme in 2013, using aged wine barrels to create distinctive, character-driven brews. With over 60 beers across 34 recognised styles — including unique fynbos-infused creations — Triggerfish continues to showcase the very best of South African flavour and craft.
Crazy Diamond is an exceptional Belgian Strong Dark Ale born from a collaboration between Triggerfish Brewing and Cockpit Brewhouse. Widely regarded as one of the standout beers to come from the South African craft scene, this powerful brew is designed for slow sipping and long-term ageing.
What makes Crazy Diamond unique is its quadruple fermentation process. Additional fermentable sugars are introduced each time fermentation slows, repeating the process three times to build extraordinary depth, strength and complexity. The result is a rich, fruity beer with layers of dark fruit, caramel sweetness and warming alcohol.
Brewed only every second year since 2013, each vintage is released in extremely limited quantities and develops its own personality as it matures over time. Built for the cellar, Crazy Diamond continues to evolve and reward patience with remarkable complexity.
