Tafel lager is a fine quality, smooth tasting natural lager with a wholesome flavour and aroma. The taste can be described as the ideal balance between refreshment, flavour and bitterness, which makes it the perfect companion for any occasion.
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.
Carling Black Label was launched in South Africa in 1966 as "America's Lusty, Lively Beer". Its communication focused on masculinity, strong will, character and on a determined work ethic. The Carling drinker is a man's man, he does a tough job and at the end of the day takes the reward of his choosing - Carling Black Label. The fact that the brand has continued to succeed bears testimony to its ability to stay in close touch with the changing needs of its consumers, and to evolve to mirror them.
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.
