GUEST – Phumlani Khulu and Kgotso Mokhatle – Co-founders of First 15 Brewhouse
First 15 Brewhouse The First 15 Brewhouse has its roots in a long standing friendship between the company’s directors; Phumlani Khulu and Kgotso Mokhatle. The name “First 15 Brewhouse” combines their schooling and sporting memories / experiences. It speaks to what they are passionate about.
The story goes; while attending an English medium high school in a predominately Afrikaans town. Every other rugby playing school had the words “eerste vyftien” inscribed on their first team rugby team jerseys. Of course, theirs being an English medium school, they had “First fifteen” on their jerseys. The name (First 15 Brewhouse) resonates well with the values and ethos of the company, that of: hard work, teamwork, dedication while also still having fun with your friends.The idea of owning their very own brewery was conceived when they visited a beer yard once, where they ordered some craft beer. It just so happens that they ordered a beer brand which was owned and brewed by one of their colleague’s sister.
