Flagship February
I remember the first time I went to the Banana Jam Café. It was 2011 and we were broke – a freelance writer and a Master’s student saving for a wedding. We used to walk straight past the brightly painted façade of this Caribbean restaurant in suburban Cape Town to drink pints of SAB’s Castle Lager for R12.50 (US$0.85) in the sports bar next door. Then one day we spotted a sign outside Banana Jam advertising free craft beer tastings.
