GENERAL STUFF

You must be aged 18 or over to purchase alcohol. It is an offence to sell alcohol to anyone under the age of 18 in South Africa. If you are over 70 and purchasing artisanal beer, then you sir, are a fucking legend! When ordering and making a payment you confirm that you are aged 18 or over. If your order is a gift and contains alcohol, the recipient must also be aged 18 years or older. An adult over the age of 18 will be required to sign for delivery. Also 17.9 years old is not the new 18…

We aim to ensure that prices and stock availability are correct. If an error does occur it means we probably screwed up and we will make every effort to contact you to rectify our mistake. While every effort is made to supply all items listed online, there are instances where this may not be possible. In these cases, we will contact you and offer a substitute with the same or greater value. We reserve the right to withdraw or replace products online without notice.
