Richmond Hill Brewing Company

Richmond Hill Brewing Co doesn't undersell itself — the Gqeberha microbrewery bills itself as the home of the best beer in Africa, and its 4.9-star rating across more than 1,170 Google reviews is the highest of any brewery in this directory.

Found at 2 Alabaster Street in South End, it's open daily from 11am, running to 11pm every night except Mondays (6:30pm close). That all-week, late-night trading pattern is unusual for a South African microbrewery and makes it the default meeting point for Gqeberha's beer crowd.

Pair it with Bridge Street Brewery a few hundred metres away on Bridge Street and you have a walkable two-brewery afternoon in the Baakens Valley. Bookings on +27 66 472 6352.
