In the spirit of connection, good vibes, and the Perfect Serve – something a little “unexpected” (and refreshingly rewarding) is popping up in Pretoria this week.

To celebrate International Beer Day, a vending machine in Hazelwood is inviting passersby to trade any beer bottle cap for a complimentary draught of Stella Artois at participating bars. The activation is part of Stella Artois’ global Perfect Trade campaign, honouring the role of local bars as gathering spaces for laughter, love, reunions, and late-night storytelling. In Pretoria, the experience rolls out from 1 to 3 August – and yes, there’s a real tap machine that “pours” out vouchers in exchange for your cap.
