SAB World of Beer, Miriam Makeba St, Newtown, Johannesburg, 2113
Former brewery museum tracing South African beer history through holograms and a mock township shebeen.
This guide to SAB World of Beer opens with a hologram of Charles Glass welcoming visitors to the brewery he is said to have founded during the 1880s gold rush, working through the Castle Brewery's 1895 founding and its listing on the Johannesburg stock exchange. A university historian went looking through the archives and found a name missing from that legend: Charles's wife, Lisa Glass. Nelson Mandela opened the museum on the fifteenth of May, 1995, the same year the Springboks won the Rugby World Cup on home soil.
