about
“He's a wise man,
who invented beer.”
— Plato
passion
Everyone at Specialty Beers has (at least) two things in common: a passion for Africa and a passion for the craft of beer-making.
Passionate as they are, even our non-brewery staff, join the brewers on the floor for a brewing session from time to time.
No better baseline to cover our story as the one we chose for our Tale brand: African Beer Craft. From now on, ABC has a whole new meaning!
know-how
Passion combined with know-how creates a powerful force. But power is nothing without control.
This control is provided by our Head Brew Master, who excels in the craft of brewing as no other.
At Specialty Beers, we use science to overcome challenges in our search for the perfect beer.
As such, we work together with a university specialized in brewing technology.
“Fermentation may have been a greater discovery than fire.”
— David Reins Wallace
technology:
learn from the best
Being at the center of the brewing industry for centuries, it's easy to understand why we turned to Belgium in search for the best brewing equipment and technology.
Our brewhouse features the Meura thinbed mash filter, allowing the use of cereals other than barley, while drastically improving yield and production times.
Surprising
raw materials
Brewing in Ghana invites us to do things differently. Apart from water, malt, and hops, we add locally grown rice and maize as a cereal base to our mash and use local botanicals alongside hops to create unique taste and aroma profiles.
Ever thought cocoa could be used in brewing? And what to think of hibiscus flower, lemongrass, ginger or lime leaves? All our beers are made from 100% natural ingredients without the addition of any additives, colourants, conservatives or sugars.
