# Brewhogs Black returns in a 440ml can

The Kyalami brewery has brought back its sessionable porter with layered malt, South African noble hops and a 440ml unpasteurised format.

## Issued by

Brewhogs Brewmaster · 3 June 2026

## Release brief

Brewhogs Black has returned as a 5% porter designed for drinkability rather than weight. The brewery describes a deep crimson-black beer with caramel, red fruit, liquorice, chocolate and plum character.

The malt bill combines pale two-row barley with Munich, melanoidin, crystal and roasted malts, while rolled oats and wheat contribute texture. South African noble hops provide a mildly bitter, earthy and subtly woody balance.

The unpasteurised beer is packed in 440ml cans and was published as available through the Brewhogs taproom when the brewery announced its return.

> “We’ve designed the Brewhogs Black to be sessionable and enjoyed on any occasion.”\n>\n> — Brewhogs Brewmaster
