About Mainstream Brewing Company
Mainstream Brewing Company is a small brewpub operation at 16 Falcon Lane in Douglasdale, on Sandton's north-western edge. It trades weekdays only, 8am to 5pm, and is closed over the weekend — very much a working brewery you visit for beer rather than an evening venue.
The Google footprint is still small (a 4.4-star average from 10 reviews), which means the brewery is either newer or deliberately low-key. Either way, it's one of the lesser-known names on Joburg's craft map and worth a call ahead on +27 83 233 3036 to confirm someone's on hand.
For anyone working through Gauteng's brewery list, Mainstream is a genuine off-the-beaten-track entry among the better-publicised Douglasdale and Fourways venues.
