About Clarens Brewery
Clarens Brewery is the most-reviewed craft brewery in this entire directory — nearly 2,900 Google reviews — and that's no accident. Sitting in the Rosemary Centre on Market Street East, it's the anchor of the Eastern Free State's most-visited mountain village, and the natural first stop for anyone doing the Clarens weekend.
All the regular brews pour on tap alongside small-batch specials, guest taps and canned releases, and the kitchen builds dishes around the beer with pairing suggestions on the menu. Open daily from 10am, running to 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Between the Golden Gate Highlands National Park, the village's art galleries and the Maluti foothills, Clarens Brewery is the fixed point everyone comes back to. Call +27 58 023 0566.
