About Us

Mitchell’s Knysna Brewery was established in 1983 by Lex Mitchell in a small building in the Knysna town center. In 1985 we moved to the Knysna Industrial Area and had the space to add Bosun’s Bitter to the  Forester’s Draught which had been our only beer produced to date. We have since added various other ales to our repertoire, some on a special basis, and some which have come to stay – Raven Stout, and Ninety Shilling Ale.  Our Ales are unpasteurised, live ales, produced locally in Knysna. Mitchell’s beers are produced using the finest available ingredients and a carefully selected amalgam of British mashing and German lagering techniques to produce ales uniquely suited to South African conditions.

We have tours of our Brewery Mondays to Fridays at 10:30 am and 15:00 pm. Tastings on Mondays to Fridays 09:00 am to 16:00 pm and on Saturdays from 09:30 am to 12:00 pm. We are closed on Sundays. Come and visit our Brewery and check out our range of clothing and miscellaneous items for sale.

Yours in Beer
