“The Beer Association of South Africa (BASA) is dedicated to generating a more informed understanding and appreciation of beer’s modern role as South Africa’s alcoholic beverage of choice, as well as its contribution and value to the entire community.

Beer is a major contributor to the national economy, uniting many sectors in its value chain – from the farmers of barley and hops, freight and transport sectors, a thriving retail market, restaurants, hospitality and tourism operators in every town and city across the country.

Beer is part of our heritage and has a legacy as a drink that brings friends, colleagues, and communities together. BASA promotes the responsible consumption of alcohol and advocates for targeted interventions that can successfully reduce alcohol-related harm.”
