The Absa Cape Epic is proud to announce that Devil’s Peak Brewing Company, one of South Africa’s leading and pioneering craft breweries, has joined the Untamed African MTB Race’s sponsorship family. The partnership will see Devil’s Peak become the official beers of the Absa Cape Epic.
Based in Cape Town, Devil’s Peak is not only named after the mountain which they and the Absa Cape Epic share, but their beers are also inspired by their South African heritage. Their flagship King’s Block House IPA for example takes its name from a landmark with which most Absa Cape Epic entrant will be familiar – the King’s Block House above the infamous Plumb Pudding Singletrack. While their First Light Golden Ale is virtually pure bottled African sunshine, such is its rich flavour.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have partnered with Absa Cape Epic, the world’s premier mountain bike race” Russell Boltman, Devil’s Peak’s Managing Director, said. “Devil’s Peak appreciates the grit and determination required to be at the very top of your game, and this race, along with its athletes, embody what we believe chasing excellence is all about. Never settle. Always forward. Something we as a company strive for daily.”

They are a brand which many breweries look to for inspiration and in that we see many similarities with our own journey.
