Vintage Castle Prints

The Castle Lager Online Printshop offers quick and easy access to vintage imagery that portrays the Castle Lager heritage.

The famous brew’s legacy goes back more than a century. Since its humble beginnings in 1895, when Charles Glass first brewed at the Castle brewery in Johannesburg, Castle Lager has been bringing South Africans together.

Even as early as 1899 the brewery was recognised by one of Johannesburg's early newspapers, the Digger's News, naming it as 'a phenomenal success'. Castle beer was so popular amongst the prospectors of the Witwatersrand gold rush that over 200 pubs opened in the small mining town and Charles Glass could barely keep up with demand.

Today Castle Lager is brewed in nine countries and regularly enjoyed in more than 40.
