Craft Session is a carefully curated portfolio of artisanal beverages,

We represent independent South African producers who make products the right way — by hand, in small quantities, with character and integrity. Every brand we work with is chosen for its quality, authenticity, and sense of place.
At Craft Session, staying true to the craft isn’t a slogan. It’s the foundation of everything we do.
What we do
We service the Garden Route and Eastern Cape, working closely with independent bars, restaurants, and retailers who value quality, consistency, and well-executed artisanal products.
Our role goes beyond distribution. We hold and curate the portfolio, own and manage draught assets, and oversee sales strategy and draught performance in the market. This enables our customers to offer something distinctive — served correctly, consistently, and with confidence.
We’re proud to work with a growing network of on-consumption venues and specialist retailers who share our commitment to quality and craft.
Retail partners are supported by a trained field service team that ensures our products are:
Correctly stored Clearly merchandised Always visible and well presented
Craft Session curates the portfolio, owns and manages draught assets, and leads sales strategy and brand performance in-market. To support this, Brand Republic operates as our route-to-market partner, effectively an extension of the Craft Session group, facilitating:
Sales execution Warehousing and cold storage Physical distribution Debtors and account administration
This structure allows us to focus on brand building, draught quality, and long-term performance, while ensuring our
products move through a reliable, professional distribution network. The result is a connected system where:
Product integrity is protected from warehouse to outlet
Deliveries are consistent and on time
Financial administration is streamlined and accountable
We’re passionate about what we do and value long-term relationships with customers, partners, and producers. Whether you’re a venue, retailer, supplier, or simply interested in our portfolio, we’d love to hear from you.
