Howzit you freaking legend!
I’m beyond stoked to be raising funds with you again – it’s going to be another fantastic day! If you’re a first timer and aren’t quite sure what this is all about, check out this video from last year’s event for a taste of the good vibes.
2025 planning is in full swing, and we’re thrilled to announce a new, bigger and better venue – the iconic Shongweni Club! It’s just around the corner from Hillcrest, nestled between the N3 and M13. This new space means more room, more brews, more people, and most importantly – more funds for our furry friends!
This year we’re also supporting multiple incredible animal charities, including those that provide rhino protection, rural animal care, and food aid. It’s the perfect reason to dop for a good cause.
As a brewer, you’ll receive a drinking ticket and a shirt for each brew you pledge. If you’ve got a mate keen to join the fun, you can donate a brew on their behalf, or they’re welcome to buy a ticket. Each batch has the potential to raise around R1,750 for the cause, so if you’re able to pledge more than one that would be amazing! We know things are tight for many right now, so whatever you can contribute is genuinely appreciated.
Got connections? We’re looking for sponsors for more gifts to give you like caps and vouchers so if you know someone who can help, please shout!

New this year: The event will now run later into the evening! After prize giving at 5-ish, brewers are welcome to close their taps and enjoy the rest of the festivities from the other side of the bar. Work hard, then party harder!
