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.
A classic English ale with room for subtle variation between brews, staying true to style while keeping things interesting. Expect caramel malt richness, floral hop aromas, and a medium to high bitterness balanced for easy drinking.
A versatile session beer best enjoyed ice cold or served warmer (up to 14°C) to bring out its full character.
