    Our Story

    Brewing in Rivonia since 2004

    Hannes started Gilroys in 2004 with one idea: brew the beer he wanted to drink, and pour it in a place that felt like home. Twenty years later, that idea is still the whole plan.

    Four signature ales on tap, brewed on-site. A kitchen that takes the burger seriously. Live music every weekend. A beer garden that's won awards three years running. And a community of regulars who'll tell you, without prompting, that this is their local.

    Welcome home.
