Pouring Beautifully is Yeti Underground Movement # 14!!!

This beer is a marriage of IPA and the drinkability of a lager the beer. is made using a typical lager recipe but the bitterness from the hops come from traditional European bitter varieties the aroma comes from New World hops. that hops is from North America from the Yakima Valley. you should get a nice intense bitterness that falls away quickly and it is important to have more than one sip for the bitterness to develop and then fall away as designed. the beer has got the typical citrus and fruit hop characters this is on both taste and aroma this beer has got the drinkability of a logger combined with the fruit and citrus characters of an IPA a marriage of the two Styles I believe it works very well for our climate. The beer base is light and not heavy malty based. Watch out it is 5.8% alc but drinks like a 4.5%!!! Come and get your share! Come be “Parte della Famiglia” !!!

Our Story

Luca's Italian Restaurant, was established in 1994, and captures the essence of the Italian lifestyle –colourful and flavour-filled. We honour centuries old traditions essential to authentic Italian cuisine - simplicity and passion. A grand wood-burning oven which uses specialised refractory brick and mortar, designed to deliver even heat throughout the dome, built single handedly by Guido, a perfectionist Italian artisan, delivers pizzas, pastas and other dishes in an authentic manner, that is certain to delight the gods! Slow-food specialities, including rabbit casserole served with polenta and the most unusual lamb, pot-roasted in coffee and apricots (Mamma Alma's recipe!), will have you coming back for more. Our comprehensive menu promises you the ultimate Italian food experience! The extensive menu goes hand-in-hand with a collection of carefully selected fine South African and Italian wines to complement your choice of meal. Winter months are made cosy with gas heaters and in the summer you can enjoy warm afternoon lunches and lingering evening dinners outside under magnificent London Plane trees. Over years we have been given a few accolades that we are very proud of: We have been voted the Best Italian Restaurant in the Best of Joburg awards; We carry the Marchio Ospitalità Italiana seal of approval for restaurants that embrace the tradition of culinary excellence are considered genuine “Ambassadors of the ‘Italian palate’, and Italy’s rich culture. We are the proud bearers of the Dinner Club Wine List Diamond Award Luca's Food Philosophy We live to eat!
