Craft beer galore with The Consol Craft Revolution
Wednesday, June 3, 2015
Emperors Palace in partnership with Consol, SONY MAX and Hot 91.9FM presents The Consol Craft Revolution that promises to tantalise taste buds for one day only on 20 June in the beautifully manicured gardens at the 5- star D’oreale Grande hotel. The craft beer and gourmet food extravaganza will focus on the craft liquor industry throughout South Africa with an emphasis on showcasing the talent of brewers, distillers and producers of quality craft liquor that will bring them together under one umbrella.
The Consol Craft Revolution will be an interactive and experiential platform where visitors can sample and experience a multitude of beers produced by smaller micro-breweries. Along with the craft beer industry, the event will introduce gourmet street food options to pair with the beer, as well as live entertainment. This a great opportunity for beer connoisseurs and for those who would like to experience something unique from the craft breweries across the country.
Case by case – Consol is supporting the craft beer industry. Craft beer is all about the flavours – full and interesting ingredients that combine to produce bold notes and rich aromas. Brewed naturally, from the best quality and 100% natural ingredients, with no additives, preservatives, thickeners or stabilisers, microbrewers need packaging that preserves taste and extends shelf life. As the only pure packaging made from 100% natural and recyclable ingredients, glass maintains the beer’s unique flavour, while the impermeable nature of the amber glass further preserves the beer.
The Consol Craft Revolution is supported by national media partner SONY MAX, a channel created specifically with the South African viewer in mind. With men as its main demographic, it is high-octane programming is wildly addictive and can be seen on DStv channel 128.

Reviews
First, look down when you walk in: the interior walkways are paved with authentic Smart Stone Huguenot Cobbles, engineered specifically to replicate the tactile feeling of walking on real, ancient Roman highways. It is an incredible piece of immersive design that has stood the test of time since its inception.
Second, as someone sensitive to travel fatigue, the engineering here is spectacular. Despite being right next to major runways, the structural acoustics completely eliminate aviation noise. Furthermore, if you explore the convention wing, the rooms are named chronologically after Roman Emperors (Claudius, Augustus, Tiberius), featuring a highly advanced smart-lighting system that subtly shifts tone to help international travelers fight jet lag.
The multi-tiered security checks at the gates provide immense peace of mind, making it a safe, self-contained empire. From the manicured garden paths to the world-class service, it is a flawless, deeply thought-out destination. Don't just stop by for a quick game—take a moment to appreciate the sheer craftsmanship of the Palace of Dreams!
Hidden Details Most Guests Don't Know The Secret History of the Floors:
When the resort opened in September 2000, it was named Caesars Gauteng. The internal casino paths use custom Huguenot Cobble and Shepstone Pavers designed by SmartStone to precisely mimic the durability and texture of ancient Roman stone highways.
The "Imperial Court" Conference Subtext:
The major conference rooms in the South Wing are purposefully named after successive Roman emperors—Claudius, Augustus, Tiberius, Florian, and Romanus. They feature a hidden central smart-lighting grid that automatically shifts color warmth to match the biological clock of travelers suffering from jet lag.
The Multilayered Security Ring: Casual visitors often miss how tightly the security net is woven. Because of its position right next to O.R. Tambo International Airport, the property utilizes an advanced, continuous perimeter sweep and bag-screening protocol that keeps it significantly safer than standard commercial venues.
The Sound-Insulated Aviation Oasis: Despite being directly in the flight path of Africa's busiest airport, the structural glass and architectural roofing are uniquely engineered to absorb low-frequency jet engine vibrations, meaning you can sit in the gardens or sleep in the hotels in absolute peace
