If Cape Town ever needed an excuse to raise a glass, Jack Black’s Taproom has delivered it — with foam, flavour, and a full-on feast.
Their Beer & Food Pairing extravaganza is here, and this time it’s shaping up to be the most delicious showdown yet.
On 4 December, the Taproom transforms into Beer School — but don’t worry, there are no tests, no textbooks, and definitely no boring lectures.
- Instead, guests get five epic courses, ten unique brews, and one extremely important job: deciding which beer pairs best with each dish. It’s like MasterChef meets Blind Tasting meets “Who Ate My Chips?” — but with better lighting and none of the stress.
🍽️ How It Works
Each dish arrives with two different beers, served side-by-side. Guests then taste, sample, sip, reconsider, re-sip (for research, of course), and finally cast their vote. You’ll discover how tiny changes in bitterness, sweetness, or style completely transform a meal — and you might even uncover your inner beer snob along the way.

Because beer pairing is way more fun than wine pairing.
Because the Taproom team knows how to throw a proper night out.
Because where else can you say, “I’m doing research,” while eating ribs with one hand and holding two beers in the other?
