Castle Lager
Castle Lager is a South African pale lager. It is the flagship product of South African Breweries. It is widely considered the 'national beer' of South Africa due to its widespread popularity and production within the country.
Castle Lager's origins can be traced to the Johannesburg gold rush of 1886. Charles Glass, founder of the Castle Brewery, began selling beer to the miners after noticing a gap in the market. The new beer soon became popular amongst the prospectors of the gold rush, and in 1889 one of Johannesburg's early newspapers, The Digger's News, declared it "a phenomenal success." In 1895, on the success of Castle Lager, South African Breweries (SAB) was founded, with its head office being the Castle Brewery. Two years later, SAB became the first industrial company to list on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Today, Castle Lager is brewed in nine countries and is available in over 40 countries worldwide. In 2000 Castle Lager was awarded in the "World's Best Bottled Lager" category at the Brewing Industry International Awards.
In 2002, South African Breweries bought Miller, forming SABMiller. In 2016, Anheuser-Busch InBev acquired SABMiller.

Major performers at the festival included The Jazz Epistles, Chris McGregor's Blue Notes, the Jazz Ambassadors, the Jazz Dazzlers, and Philip Tabane's Malombo. The 1962 edition of the festival, held at Moroka-Jabavu Stadium outside Johannesburg, represented the first open-air jazz fest on the continent.
The album Cold Castle National Jazz Festival 1962 (Gallo Record Company) included the work of key South African jazz artists, including Chris McGregor, Dudu Pukwana, Kippie Moeketsi, and Gideon Nxumalo. In 1963, Chris McGregor formed the Castle Lager Big Band, whose members included Kippie Moeketsi and Dollar Brand, and produced the seminal LP Jazz: The African Sound (Gallo Record Company) with the company's support.
