The June 16, 1976 Uprising that began in Soweto and spread countrywide profoundly changed the socio-political landscape in South Africa.
Forty years later, Soweto’s first craft brewery is paying tribute to the student rebels of ’76 with Soweto Gold ’76, a limited-edition lager that was matured in Jameson Irish Whiskey casks for 76 days, achieving an alcohol content of 7.6%.
The beer was created by master brewer Ndumiso Madlala.
THE uBUNTU KRAAL BREWERY worked with creative agency, The Open Collaboration to extend the commemorative efforts by conducting an auction of specially-signed bottles. The proceeds of the auction will be donated to the Dr. Nthato Motlana Foundation’s Spirit of Youth programme.
