The Ngwenya Glass Village forms part of the Crocodile Ramble in the Cradle of Humankind - a popular local and tourist venue where you can browse through the Ngwenya Glass showroom, have a splendid lunch and let the kids enjoy themselves in the playground.
Weekly Ode
So Lin said, “Gil what’s happened
To the words when you were young
Your poems were romantic
You had such a silver tongue.”
“Now it seems it’s politics
Or a bottom or a breast.”
So I’m going to give my quill a whirl
With my romantic best!
Autumn is without a doubt
My favourite time of year
When leaves dress in the autumnal hues
Of the tapestry of beer.
The quiet gold of the lager
The soft amber of Pale Ale
Of beer, nature reminds us
And to our eye she doth avail
The sumptuous reds of the Traditional
The dark velvets that prevail
All throughout the autumn
She whispers, “Go on, have an Ale.”
Whilst well wrapped ladies cover up
And there’s not much that you can see
There are but dregs of solace found
In a dreary cup of tea.
So we shall bathe in glorious colour
Until the winter comes to pass
Hark! Nature insists, “Put down that cup
And raise a brimming glass,”
And so purists will be cognizant
The poem was touched with class
It was soft and almost reverent
And I never once said a*se!

Gilroy Traditional is a Ruby Ale. A magnificent explosion of flavours on the tongue. Brewed using the best English kilned barley, grain, malts and Kentish noble hops. The Gilroy Traditional is 5% alcohol by volume. Handcrafted red ale, elegantly rustic, a thing of beauty and joy. SA Beer Drinkers Guide Rating: EIGHT |
Gilroy Serious is a rich, strong premiun dark ale. The amber and dark malts yield a dark warm claret colour. A beer with flavours in places other beers don't have places.
