About Soweto Gold (Ubuntu Kraal) / Soweto Brewing Company
Ubuntu Kraal in Dube, Soweto, is the home of Soweto Gold — the superior golden lager that made history as the township's first registered craft brewery when it launched in 2014. The venue sits a short walk from Vilakazi Street, the only street in the world that housed two Nobel laureates, and has long been a stop on the Soweto tourism circuit.
Today Ubuntu Kraal operates primarily as an events and lifestyle venue, open daily 9am to 5pm, with a beer garden that hosts everything from tour groups to private functions. The Soweto Gold brand itself is now brewed at scale and widely available in retail.
If you're visiting, treat it as a heritage-and-beer-garden experience rather than a working craft brewery tour, and phone +27 11 982 8290 to confirm what's on. A 4.3-star rating across 290 reviews reflects its enduring pull.
