CONCEPT

A Celebration of Friendship, Craft, and Africa

Blix was founded in 2021 as a tribute to friendship, exceptional beer, and a profound love for the African continent. The concept was born out of a desire to create a space where people could come together to enjoy high-quality brews and celebrate the spirit of Africa.

Our journey began with the launch of our own small-batch beer, which quickly became a local favourite. This success led to the opening of Blix Tavern at 100 Dorp Street in the heart of Stellenbosch Central, a place designed to offer an immersive experience of great drinks, warm hospitality, and a welcoming environment.

The name “Blix” is inspired by the iconic Karen Blixen and her memoir-turned-film Out of Africa, reflecting her deep connection to the continent’s beauty and spirit. At Blix, we share that same passion for Africa, blending old-world charm with modern sophistication in everything we do.

While we started with beer, our vision has expanded. Blix Tavern now offers a carefully curated selection of premium whiskies, wines, expertly crafted cocktails, and fine cigars, catering to a diverse range of tastes and preferences. Whether it's enjoying a pint of our signature beer or savoring a glass of wine with friends, Blix is about celebrating the finer things in life in an atmosphere that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Blix is more than just a tavern—it's a destination where every visit is a chance to experience the warmth, hospitality, and vibrancy of Africa.
