CASTLE LAGER, the 130 year old, South African beer brand has partnered with Big Save to orchestrate the World’s Biggest Braai on 24 September 2025, uniting thousands across the country in a shared moment of national pride.
Thomas Lawrence, Brand Director, Castle Lager says, “In a campaign that blends culture and community, Castle Lager has used its innovative Grillboard – a billboard with a built-in braai – to launch a street-level activation invitation that’s sparking conversations, media buzz, and real-world impact.”
From a humble bus stop in Soweto to national talk-ability – in under 24 hours.
