Brewing in small, meticulous batches, they focus on mastering complex classic styles while boldly exploring innovative hybrids. Known for powerful, high-gravity beers like Barley Wine, Belgian Strong Ale and Imperial Stout, Triggerfish has built a reputation for depth, balance and intensity.

With over 60 beers across 34 recognised styles including unique fynbos-infused creations Triggerfish continues to showcase the very best of South African flavour and craft.

Hammerhead holds a special place in South African craft beer history as the first bottled IPA in the country. This classic American-style IPA delivers a well-balanced combination of bold hop character and a sturdy malt backbone. Continually hopped during the brewing process inspired by the technique used by Dogfish Head the beer develops deep, layered hop flavours throughout.

Expect mild citrus and pine aromas supported by a firm bitterness, while the malt bill adds warming toffee and caramel notes that round out the profile. Bold yet balanced, Hammerhead is a true pioneer of the South African craft beer movement.
