Anvil Ale House & Brewery (Dullstroom)

Anvil Ale House & Brewery - Dullstroom Anvil Ale House & Brewery produces award-winning craft beer, including White, Blond Ale, Bookoo, Mjolnir IPA, Pale, Maleficent Amber Ale, Black, and lies on the edge of Dullstroom , also known as Emnothweni , if you enter it from the Lydenburg side. If you happen to enter from the Belfast side, make sure you head across town to savour the local beer, where Theo de Beer and his wife serve up drafts, local fare and numerous generous helpings of boozy cake. Theo De Beer (with a name like that, you can’t help but think it was a calling) founded the Anvil Brewhouse in 2010, with 10 years brewing experience behind him before that. Named Anvil because Theo’s father was a latter-day blacksmith, which is why we like to call Theo and his protégé and now brewmaster Christo Holtzhausen, Beersmiths. All our beers are brewed on site in Dullstroom using water sourced on site from the sub-alpine springs of the Steenkampsberge, one of our most special and important ingredients. Combined with local and internationally sourced hops and ingredients, we brew many variants including Blonde Ale, Pale Ale, Black Anvil, Alaskan Amber Ale as well as our intentionally awarded White Anvil, Bookoo and Mjolnir IPA. Most of the food is locally sourced ( like the German sausage from Nelspruit ), and the relishes, mustard and desserts are all made on the premises. You might want to sample either the Boozy cake or chocolate rum cake – both of which have received generous lashings of alcohol during the production process. There is a daily food menu that includes dishes such as smoked trout and scrambled egg, wholesome vege soup, trout quiche and other delights.
