Cape Town - Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, "Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer."
To celebrate the Cape Town Beer Festival, we thought we'd choose some of our favourite, fairly new - trendy hotspots.
From your favourite fruity pale ale's to deliciously crafted stouts, who can say no to a crisp glass of heaven?
1. Tjing Tjing Bar:
Part rooftop, part attic in the heart of the CBD in a restored two centuries old heritage building. Their specialties include cocktails, a unique wine list, a variety of craft beers and draughts and a tapas menu. Expect new indie and electronica music.
Where: 165 Longmarket Street, Cape Town.
Trading Hours: Tuesday - Friday from 16:00 - 02:00, Saturday from 18:30 - 02:00
2. YOURSTRULY:
YOURSTRULY is a lifestyle outlet situated in Cape Town. They specialize in the retail of gourmet sandwiches, homemade pizza, coffee and art.

3. Cabrito Bar:
El Burro in Greenpoint has opened a seriously cool bar downstairs that's destined to become a hotspot for locals. Cabrito offers a space where you can go to chill out after work in a relaxed atmosphere, no frills and no fuss.
Among the range of craft beers on tap, some world class tequilas are available to wash down their delicious bar snacks (Via Food24).

4. Bastone Pool:
The inner city rooftop retreat has been designed as a meeting and relaxing space in between the noise of the city. The combination of the swimming pool, meeting tables, great coffee, pool loungers, soft shade, fast internet and a view of the mountain creates the perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon in the pool, host some friends, enjoy an afterwork drink, catch up on your reading and listen to some great music.
Basically - think Soho House in Cape Town. And you don't even have to catch a flight to enjoy the space or have a profitable meeting.

Trading hours: The Batstone Pool is open from 11:00 till sunset Friday to Sunday
5. Tiger's Milk:
Tiger's Milk is a restaurant and bar on Cape Town's trendy Long Street. The delicious menu is diverse and will appeal to most. Pizzas, burgers, ribs and steaks are just a few of the things you find there. With a retro cool interior and plenty of craft beer on tap, it is a place where you will find the good vibes and the cool people of Cape Town (Via Food24).
