Urban Brewing Co.

An awesome craft brewery located in the Hout Bay Harbour district. Come in and have a beer, tour our brewery, and maybe get lucky and watch our brewmaster in action! We have 4 beers on tap - all made using local Hout Bay spring water: a Weiss, a Blonde Ale, a Pilsener and a Stout.

Friendly owner and staff. Great beer and great people. Great atmosphere with the brew house being open for all to see. On our first visit, the owner even took us on a tour through the brewery. I make it a point to pop in there whenever I am in the area.

Devils Peak Brewing Company

Reviewed By awilliamsrvt - Ottawa, Canada

Service: Too notch, we went during happy hour. Beer: I’ve had their bone crusher beer, very easy drinking. Not too hoppy. Today I had their new Grapefruit IPA- I would buy a case of this if I could! Well balanced with citrus and hops, can be a everyday summer drinking beer with a bit more ooomph, than a radler! Cider: tried their berry cider...if your are into cider, this is actually so crisp without being too sweet. Delicious over ice or just as is. Food: their food was nicely priced...I only went for happy hour but their menu was diverse but simple. Ambiance: outdoor patio seating area. Can get windy but you glasses will still stay on the table. Inside, has a lovely large open area with tables surrounding the bar area. Nice stop for a pint or two, or three.
