| - I'm not a beer drinker, as a rule.
I mean... I hate IPA's (they smell like cat urine and taste the way they smell), I'll have a stout, ONE, in the winter time.
So the fiance and I head over to Draai Laag before hitting Mr. Smalls for the Guided By Voices show.
We do a flight each, 6 out of the 8 beers.
Apples & Pears
Petite Ferme
Aureus
Simon Girty
Funky Peach
R2 Koelschip Ale
They were ALL awesome. I mean ALL of them. I've never been so excited and happy to be drinking beers. I tend to lean toward "sour" beers over the funky/ipa/dark beers. The staff here was knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and very welcoming.
So great beers? Check!
Outdoor setting? Check!
Food? Oh.. yeah there's a food truck there! It switches around constantly but we happened to land there on a day that had "Second Breakfast" truck.
It's got a nice small gravel lot that if you're lucky enough, you can park in.
Out of all the beers I tried... Aureus was by far my favorite, then Apples & Pears, Funky Peach, Simon Girty, Petite Ferme, and R2.
I like the no frills quality this place has.
Oh... and the bathrooms are clean and nice! Trust me... that's hard to come by in beer gardens.
