About Swagga Breweries
Swagga Breweries produces premium South African craft beer from 42 Bosbok Road in Highbury, Meyerton — south of Johannesburg on the Vaal corridor, a stretch of Gauteng with very little craft beer competition.
The name is the philosophy: Swagga is about representing yourself in a way that commands respect in everything you do, including the way you drink Swagga. The venue runs as a brewery and restaurant, open Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 9pm most days and to 6pm on Sundays, closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
With 528 Google reviews at a 4.6-star average, it's comfortably the biggest craft beer destination in the Midvaal area and an easy detour off the N1 between Joburg and the Vaal. Contact [email protected] or +27 10 109 0388.
