Mitchell’s Brewery

Mitchell's Brewery is the second-largest brewery in South Africa. Mitchell's Brewery has been making artisan beers since 1983, in a picturesque part of the Garden Route. It is regarded as the original South African artisan beer, having been established by beer enthusiast Lex Mitchell. Mitchell's Brewery exclusively uses natural materials including water, barley, and hops grown locally. This brewery produces a variety of full-bodied, refreshing, and flavorful beers. Forester's Lager and Bosun's Pale Ale are Mitchell's most popular beers.

Mitchell's Backyard Brewery started receiving honors for its beer throughout Asia in 2019. The Asia Beer Championship is an annual beer tournament hosted by the SEABrew team that includes blind taste testing by professional beer tasters. In 2019, our American Sunrise Pale Ale took home a silver medal in the coveted pale ale category, confirming that we were on the right road in terms of regional beer quality. Continuing our winning streak, we received a gold medal for our mocha stout in the 2020 Asia Beer Championship, as well as a chairman's selection award for both our Backyard Harmony IPA and American Sunrise Pale Ale.
