Capital Craft Beer Academy
“Capital Craft Beer Academy is a restaurant which specializes in serving quality foods together with the best craft beers that South Africa has to offer.”
I recently converted to the craft beer lifestyle, and Pretoria is abuzz with craft beer prospects. Capital Craft in Menlopark hit the nail on the head (or you can say they capped the beer potential) by launching Pretoria’s first dedicated craft beer eatery.
Capital Craft boasts a wide variety of Craft Beers, special imports and even some ciders and wine for the non-beer drinker. I found a special liking to the Pumpkin Ale that they have on tap, but the choices are truly endless. The beer is perfectly matched with pub-style food; baskets and burgers are the foodstuff of choice and they supplement the beer and atmosphere superbly.
It is still a new restaurant so there are some glitches to work through; new staff that get overwhelmed at times (especially if you need to find a reserved table) and on one occasion they ran out of some of the more popular beers. But these issues are minor and they will definitely iron them out in future.
I recommend:
The Pumpkin Ale and Mushroom burger.
