Making the best beer in the region
Route 96 Brewery came into existence in 2015 after we bought Graaff Reinett Brewery. As a family who have been in the beer industry for over two decades, both locally and internationally it has been a dream of having our own brewery, crafting our own unique blends to offer the public.
Since then we have discovered the need for a facility that would allow us to brew a proper Craft Beer of our own and have moved to a small holding just outside of Potchefstroom where we are surrounded by 1 of the key natural resources, water. Most of our other ingredients are imported to assist us in our quest for the highest quality Craft Beer that we can offer.
We are currently using a 1250L brewhouse with six additional 1,250L uni-tanks where our beers are fermented and aged. We only use water from one of three boreholes on our property that have been purified with a specially designed water purification system to ensure that we have no contamination from our natural resources.
Unlike commercially brewed beer, none of our Craft Beers are pasteurized, and we boast great consistency and quality in every one of our unique blends.
We invite you to come and experience our facility which offers a place to stay for young and old while enjoying our beautiful views and our special craft beers.
Happy clients
First things first: Great beer at great prices. The atmosphere and exceptional service is worth the drive. Kid friendly. I’d recommend go on a Saturday afternoon, be seated outside, and order the Tasting Tray.

Great scenery, friendly atmosphere and an excellent selection of beers and ciders. The out-of-the-way location is ideal for when it’s time for a little break from busy city life as well.
All in all a great place to enjoy some craft beer (and snacks) with friends!

Awesome, traveled from CT to JHB and that was a pitstop. We absolutely love the beer and they are pet friendly which is a bonus. We support you guys where ever we can find your beer. The Gin was a bonus
