We were greeted by a very warm friendly curator, watched a wonderful film on some of Walter's life. We then saw an excellent collection of his works on 2 floors of what was the family hotel. This museum with gift Shop is the highlight of Somerset East and well worth the visit.. absolute gem.

Dockside Brewery

Micro Brewery offering exclusive beers for the adventurous and well informed beer drinker. Our range of products is vast and interesting, from craft sodas to 2 year old barrel aged sour beers. Our taproom is open daily during the week. Our factory shop stocks a good selection of our beers. We also stock memorabilia and gifts along with many beer related products that we produce in addition to beer. Our most famous beers are Bad Attitude - a highly hopped yet extremely well balanced American style IPA and Blood, Sweat & Tears - a black Belgian Saison that is brewed with sherry and raisins. Our tours range from a simple tasting of 45 minutes to an actual small batch brew and braai (BBQ) which lasts 5 hours. We will expose you to our more carefree and artistic way of brewing and introduce you to the great South African tradition of braaing. We prefer smaller groups, no more than 10, in order to provide personal attention a memorable experience. Booking is essential.
