The Craft Beer Industry has built momentum like a tidal wave spreading across the globe. S43 is a continuing part of that trend … a wonderful combination of very good craft beer, the brewery, arty atmosphere and very tasty grub.
The food is freshly prepared and includes gourmet burgers, a South African take on street food, good vegetarian options and tapas.
Sean Roberts of the Unity Bar went to a local home brewer’s festival. One particular beer blew him away: That Irish Red – made by Paul Ten Hoorn Boer. Sean handed Paul a business card and said, “One day we will have a brewery together; call me.” About six months later Paul strolled into Unity Bar and before he knew it he was building a 300l brewery on a “shoe string budget” in a garage with the sole purpose of supplying Unity with beer. The brewery ended up reaching huge capacity.
When an advertising agency in the trendy Station Drive precinct ordered beer for an event, Sean and Paul went to set the taps up. They fell in love with both the atmospheric building and the arty precinct. They eventually heard of a vacancy. The two lads formed a partnership/bromance and scraped every penny together to build the brewery you now see at the back of our restaurant. Paul quit the music industry and earned his title as Brew Master. Sean and his wife Marcelle Roberts, with extensive knowledge of the restaurant game, attached the address of the venue, S43 to the brewery.
And that’s how S43 – home to That Brewing Company – came about. Enjoy the beer! Marcelle, Paul & Sean.
