Boston Breweries was established in Cape Town in 2000 as an All South African owned and managed Brewery that makes quality beer in the traditional fashion – by hand. As a young man, Chris Barnard, founder of Boston Breweries was curious to discover more of the world and to see what lay beyond his African home. Having completed his training in computer studies, at age 21, he explored Europe where he tasted and enjoyed many different styles of beer – from German Weizen to Greek lagers. When he eventually returned home to Cape Town, he was disappointed to find that his local beer drinking options did not live up to the flavoursome tastes he was accustomed to. Not one to accept things as they are, Chris gradually began experimenting with the brewing process and a few years later, after a fact-finding tour to Southern Germany, Chris purchased a 100 litre system and brewing began to take place. It was not long before demand exceeded his 100 litre capacity. It was at this stage that his dream of building a viable brewery became a reality. In September 2000, Boston Breweries was registered officially. The Lager was so popular that by the end of the first year, the production capacity was doubled. “The Key to our continued growth and success lies in a superbly enjoyable, hand-made product, loyal customers and our highly serviced oriented approach” says Chris. Still today each batch is personally checked and tasted by its founder and equipment maintenance at restaurants and pubs is carried out rigorously to schedule. All Boston Breweries products are naturally brewed using malted barley, water, yeast and hops.
