The Slow Quarter – Darling Brew’s sexy new taproom Posted on 21 December 2011 Tags:Africa As the beer revolution continues to gather steam, another exciting venue has opened in the Western Cape. The very sexy Slow Quarter is Darling Brew’s brand new taproom, proving that beer is every bit as highbrow as wine. Each of Darling’s beers is available on tap – yes you can finally get that long-awaited pint of draft Bone Crusher – and accompanied by a range of beer-inspired tapas designed to pair perfectly with Darling’s beers. Start with some Bone Crusher battered tempura prawns with a glass of the spicy witbier to complement it, followed by an ostrich and Black Mist pie encased in uber-light pastry. The dark ale goes equally well with the hand-rolled chocolate truffles, the only food item not made in-house. The décor is divine, right down to the accidental paint chip that’s a perfect map of Africa and the surprisingly comfortable bar that you could lean against all afternoon. And of course there’s the beer – at present they’re available in five varieties (four of them on draft) although the owner, Kevin Wood, promises more speciality beers in the new year. This, following on from the success the Slow Beer Christmas Edition – a spicy limited edition brew currently flying off the shelves. Details: Darling Brew’s Slow Quarter is open Wednesday to Sunday 11am until 6pm. 5 Main Road, Darling, tel: 071 901 2532, www.darlingbrew.co.za Also read: 10 Epic things to do in Darling Related Posts 3 Wine estates to visit in KwaZulu Natal 31 May 2023 The Cape may be the wine capital of South Africa, but you can still enjoy... read more 11 alcohol-free drinks for the sober curious 26 May 2023 Ocsober and Dry January are all good and well, but how about a permanent shift... read more Treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind fine dining experience in Franschhoek 20 March 2023 If you love a unique fine dining experience, you'll want to treat yourself to the... read more PREV ARTICLE NEXT ARTICLE
