Please come visit us at the brewery to try all the beers and see where we make them. The Brewery is located on the R45 in Simondium between Paarl and Franschhoek, just look for the two big barrels on the road!
Our Brewery
Our brewery was built within the old Drakenstein Winery according to our custom design. Our brewing space layers over this unique historical place where beverages paying homage to the flavours of the region have been made for hundreds of years.
Our Building
Our brewery lives within the old tank walls of the Former Drakenstein Winery located in the heart of the Cape Winelands in the Simonsberg-Paarl appellation of origin outside of Franschhoek.
The cellars we brew within were built over 100 years ago! In 1906 the Drakenstein Winery was the second wine cooperative to be established in South Africa. After the winery closed in the mid-nineties these giant tanks were used as bulk storage for local wineries until we revived production here by creating Soul Barrel. This unique location provides history and character that is part of our identity and inspiration.
Taproom
Our taproom and beer garden are the heart of Soul Barrel Brewing, where we invite you to experience our beers at their freshest and finest. We believe in serving our beer as fresh as possible so our customers can enjoy the beer as intended. Our taproom offers a variety of limited releases, each pushing the boundaries of flavour and creativity.
