Let's Talk Smack
Once upon a time, in the vibrant and bustling City of Gold, were three BEERsketeers who decided to make a thirst quencher. These enthusiasts came together to make something refreshing in a trendy bottle. We're talking artisan beer, Joburg. That is how SMACK! Republic Brewing Co. came to life. We're sure you are wondering: why SMACK! Republic? Well! The word 'smack' is actually a very relevant name with regards to beer, smack is a slang name for yeast, and well, yeast is an integral ingredient in beer making. The team felt that calling it 'Yeast' would sound dodgy - we completely agree with this.
