Live Culture

2022 Best Beer in Africa, 2026 African Celebration Award

Live Culture is a farmhouse-style, mixed-culture ale that expresses a true sense of time and place. It reflects seasonal brewing conditions and showcases local ingredients—our terroir. We use malt that’s floor-malted in our cellar, and the ale is fermented directly in oak barrels with a wild yeast culture that lives within our brewery. This native yeast evolves with the seasons, imparting distinct character to each batch. It’s a brewing philosophy rooted in the Old World—largely forgotten today—where beer reflects the natural rhythms of the environment, and the brewer guides rather than controls the process.  Over the long aging period, our wild yeast continued its slow work, layering the beer with the dry, funky, peppery, and delicate fruit notes that define Live Culture.

This beer is deeply imprinted with our environment. From the grain grown on-site and the native yeast fermentation, every element contributes to a truly unique sense of place.

Live Culture is one of the most awarded beers in Africa, being awarded medals in each of the six years its been entered including multiple golds and winning Best Beer in Africa in 2022 and the African Celebration Award in 2026.
