There’s something deeply special about seeing a grassroots passion project make its way into print—especially in a magazine as beloved and beautifully curated as go! Platteland. We’re thrilled to share that Beer Troopy and the heart behind the movement were featured in the Autumn 2025 issue, thanks to a wonderful write-up by Anri Matthee in the News & Diary section.
The piece captures the spirit of what we’re about: celebrating local legends, supporting homegrown makers, and encouraging fellow explorers to take the back roads and discover the charm of small-town life—one sip, stop, and story at a time.
Anri beautifully introduces readers to the Beer Passport™, our growing network of brewers and tasting spots, and the joy of earning badges and discovering hidden gems along the way. Whether you’re an old hand or new to the journey, this feature is a little nudge to hit the road, passport in hand, and meet the legends behind Africa’s beers.
If you’ve got your copy of go! Platteland, flip to pages 10 and 11—you might just find yourself inspired to pack the bakkie and chase a new trail.
And if this is your first time hearing about the Beer Passport™, welcome! You’re in good company. Join our community of curious drinkers and roving adventurers. Your next local legend might just be a dusty road away.
Cheers to back-road discoveries and stories worth sharing.
P.S. Thank you, Anri, for capturing the heartbeat of Beer Troopy with such warmth. You’ve helped us shine a light on the people and places that make this journey so rewarding.
