Beer! Tafel Lager, that is, because no domestic SAB beer - horribly nasty brews like Castle Lager, Black Label, Amstel, Hansa and so on - will e’er pass my lips. (Note: I will drink a few of SAB’s international beers, such as Pilsner Urquell, and will also sip Amstel that’s brewed in Holland. Glad we sorted that out.)
Tafel is brewed by Namibia’s Nambrew, which adheres to German purity standards (unlike SAB, which adds corn to nearly all its beer, barf). As a lager, it’s an exceedingly enjoyable refreshment. It’s light, it’s tasty, it’s got suitable levels of alcohol (4%), and if you drink it you’re member of an exclusive and very priveleged sect, most particularly because it’s not available in SA bars and restaurants, SAB having a distribution monopoly down here. But you can find it in most bottle stores, and then impress everyone by practicing B.Y.O.T.L.
Don’t just take my word on Tafel’s greatness, though; find confirmation in these further panegyrics: TheBackpacker.net.

Black Label is the finest tasting SA beer, but it does make you blind. Beer snobs are worse than wine snobs.
hi
i am a very huge Tafel Lager fan. I like it because it’s made from natural malted barley, hops and water. There is one joke i always make whenever i order a Tafel Lager. Gee maar Tafel al is daar nie stoele nie.
