Kanon is a proudly Cape Town–brewed Belgian-style amber ale, born from passion, persistence, and a love for great beer.
At Den Anker, every day begins with the thunder of the Signal Hill noon gun — a daily ritual that, for Chef Doekle Vlietman, became the spark behind something more. After 32 years surrounded by exceptional food and beer, curiosity turned into obsession, and the idea of creating his own brew took shape.
After a year of refining recipes and a key collaboration with Darron West, Kanon was brought to life — a beer that is proudly local, yet inspired by classic Belgian brewing tradition.
Brewed with candi sugar and liquid yeast culture, it delivers depth and character while remaining smooth and approachable. Named after Cape Town’s historic cannons, Kanon is a tribute to heritage, craftsmanship, and the rhythm of the city — where the sound of the cannon doesn’t just mark time… it signals that it’s beer time.
