Clarens Brewery

15/06/2026

Every day we wake up excited to do what we love — craft great beer.

Brewing isn't just our job; it's our passion. From dreaming up new recipes in the brewhouse to creating delicious dishes in our kitchen that pair perfectly with our beers, creativity drives everything we do.

There's something incredibly rewarding about pouring a beer we've carefully crafted and sharing it with the people who walk through our doors. Seeing friends gather, stories shared, and memories made over a pint is what motivates us every single day.

We're proud of our craft. Proud of our team. Proud of our town.

Most of all, we're proudly Clarens and proudly local.

Thank you for supporting local businesses, local flavours, and local passion. Here's to many more great beers together! 🍻

🍔 WARNING: Our burgers may cause serious cravings! 🍔

There’s a reason people are talking about our craft burgers all over the Free State...

It all starts with our secret recipe blend of premium beef sirloin and brisket, creating the ultimate juicy, flavour-packed patty. Add the freshest local ingredients, a generous helping of passion from our chefs, and you've got a burger that's impossible to resist.

Whether you're a classic cheeseburger fan or love loading up on all the extras, every bite is a reminder that great burgers are worth talking about.

And paired with one of our handcrafted beers? 🍺 That's a match made in burger heaven.

The only question is... when are you coming for yours?

Besides the love of great craft beer and mountain biking, our other love is our Brew Dog, Leo. He is a rescue from Cluny Animal Trust PBO No. 930039295 and we love supporting everything they do for so many animals here in the Eastern Free State. We are lucky that they are all craft beer lovers and support us too!

🍻 JUNE SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT – A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE Clarens Brewery 🍻

Our annual calendars play an important role in helping us raise funds for our ongoing sterilisation projects, but they simply would not be possible without the incredible support of local businesses who sponsor them each year.

Today we'd like to shine the spotlight on some very special supporters – Lindsey, Brett, their beloved rescue dog Leo, and the amazing team at Clarens Brewery.

Not only did they sponsor the month of June for our 2026 calendar, but they have also been long-time friends and supporters of Cluny. In fact, Leo himself is a proud Cluny alumnus, he was adopted from us back in 2021, making this partnership even more meaningful to us.

For anyone visiting Clarens, the Clarens Brewery is a must-stop destination. Whether you're in the mood for expertly crafted beers, refreshing local ciders, delicious G&Ts on tap, or simply a fantastic meal in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, they've got you covered. Even better, they're proudly pet-friendly, so your four-legged family members are welcome too.

More than just a brewery, Clarens Brewery has become part of the fabric of our community - a place where locals and visitors come together to relax, connect, and create memories.

Thank you, Lindsey, Brett, Leo, and the entire team for your generosity, your friendship, and your continued support of our work. We are incredibly grateful to have you as part of the Cluny family. ❤️

If you're planning a trip to Clarens, be sure to pay them a visit - you won't be disappointed!

To the riders of the Amohela Mountain Bike Challenge — welcome, welcome all! 🚵🍻
The mountains are waiting, the trails are calling,
With climbs that are brutal… and descents that are balling!
Dust on your tyres, sweat on your brow,
You pedal like heroes — and we salute you now.

When the legs start burning and the water runs low,
Don’t worry, we’ll be there wherever you go.
Ice-cold drinks on the trails, cheers at the pub,
Good vibes, great beers, and a proper rider’s hub.

So race hard, laugh loud, and soak up the views,
Celebrate every climb… and every excuse.
From all of us here, we’re thrilled you’re around —
May your tyres stay upright and your beers stay crowned! 🍺🔥

See you on the trails and at the brew pub this weekend!
