Jack Black Premium Beer
I first tasted Jack Black one evening, about a year ago, at a bar in Observatory. The only reason I did so was because a friend mentioned that it was brewed locally at a small distillery – hence the word “Premium” in the title. I have to say that it’s a great beer – not that I’m a connoisseur or anything, but it’s really easy-drinking, which I guess could be a problem. 
If you read their “Find Us” page you’ll discover that this beer is only available at restaurants and stores in Cape Town and the surrounding areas of the Western Cape (or online at Diletto, for delivery anywhere in South Africa). Yet another thing to try when you visit Cape Town. 
You can read the story that inspired the name of the beer on the Jack Black website.
Can’t really say it’s a firm favourite of time I’m afraid, however, I can say though that I totally love the Brewers & Union unfiltered lager I had at & Union.

Hey Onelargeprawn,
We visited &Union a few weeks back, and while it was cool to try the imported beer, I can’t say that it thrilled the hell out of me. Then again, many people love Amstel and Castle – which I’m not too keen on either.
