Castle Milk Stout is a South African beer made by South African Breweries, first released in 1912.

Launched in August 1912 to compete with Mackeson's; sales took off after 1962, when the 1928 ban on black South Africans buying 'European' beer was lifted.

Archivist's note

Some sources give 2003, which appears to be a relaunch at 6% rather than the first release.
