“Craft Brewers and Musicians celebrate together.”
In the cold winters of ages past, beer played a vital role as a drink of sustenance. For nine months of the year people prepared to outlast the cold - pickling, smoing and brewing.
Craft Brewers maintain a tradition of brewing with natural ingredients - hops, yeast, malt, water and time...taste the difference.

"The Annual Festival worth waiting for."
The Annual Soltice Festival is a celebration of crafted beer, live music, friendly people and the majestic Magaliesberg mountain setting.
Every year an appreciative crowd gathers at the Ale House in Broederstroom, North West Province. Here Brewmaster Dirk van Tonder gather brewers from across the country to showcase their lager and ales (and the occasional mead).
There is food, beer, non-alcholic beverage for designated drivers, stalls, and live music.
Tickets are R100 per person.
All tickets purchased through this website come with a commerative beer mug andTWO tokens for any of the craft beers on offer. With these tokens you may sample TWO different beers (250ml each) and experience first-hand the variety on offer at the Festival.
South African Breweries (SAB) provided sponsorship towards these glasses to mark this annual festival celebrating the craft of brewing beer.

The Solstice Festival takes place every year in countryside town Broederstroom, which is part of the Magaliesberg Biosphere.
The Biosphere stretches along the Magaliesberg Mountain range west of Pretoria all the way through to Rustenburg.
It encompasses the Cradle of Humankind and several private reserves and nature conservancies along the way.
