As a line extension of Castle Lager, Castle Lite was launched in January 1994 as a new premium offering. With 25% less kilojoules than Castle Lager, it targeted consumers who were looking for a lighter, healthier drinking option.
Castle Milk Stout uses a dark roasted malt to extract a full-flavoured brew. With strong hints of toffee, butterscotch and coffee, its natural bitterness is balanced by a rich, sweet taste.
It is classically paired with oysters, but it can also be served confidently with braised and roasted meats, such as oxtail. It complements a selection of cheeses such as matured cheddar, Gouda, goat’s milk, blue-veined or Camembert varieties. And when it’s time for something sweet, Castle Milk Stout is a natural accompaniment to dessert and coffee.
In the mid 1970's, international trends and local market conditions were calling for a brand of beer with Germanic heritage. SAB responded with the launch of Hansa Pilsener in November 1975. As a completely new beer style in South Africa, Hansa had the special attributes of being light, drinkable, refreshing and thirst quencing.
A premium, natural beer brewed according to the German Purity Law of 1516, using only the finest imported ingredients certified to contain no genetically modified organisms. This beer is mild in bitterness with a distinctive hops flavour, delivering an exquisite taste profile.
