Description
This is how it all began; this is the heart of our history. Sir Gerald Wight, founder of the Caribbean Development Company (CDC), ensured that the production process, which was based on the European-Continental method of brewing with our own twist, was mastered before the company’s flagship beverage, Carib Lager Beer was sold in 1950. In fact CDC still produces the perfect lager today because our formula continues to include the best ingredients, unwavering quality and constant innovation.
Today Carib Brewery boasts a portfolio that includes Beer, Malt, Stout and Soft Drinks. We produce Carib, Carib Light, Stag, Pola and Pola Light, Shandy Carib, Mackeson and Guinness as well as the following nonalcoholic brands; Ginseng-Up, Malta Carib, Malta Carib Ultra, Smalta Smalta Smiles – over 1,200,000 hectoliters of product every year.
Our acute insight into what our consumers enjoy has also inspired us to form partnerships with international companies such as Heineken International B.V., Diageo and Ginseng Up Corporation. As a result Heineken, Guinness Stout, Ginseng Up and Smirnoff Ice are also part of our portfolio.

Enjoyed a Carib a few years back on a previous visit to St. Kitts, time to try again thank you very much. I will say that the label is inviting. Consumed from a 275 ml bottle, no appropriate glassware available. Hardly any smell to it, perhaps some grain. A good long drink on a warm afternoon, a taste of rice for some reason, barley maybe, lots of water. This brew will benefit from being served ice cold. Very sessionable.

This 275 ml green bottle was purchased earlier today at the friendly liquor/cigar/beer store we visited in St. Kitts on a earlier trip. A local beer, we want to try what the locals produce and drink. No suitable glass available I drink from the bottle of course. A slightly skunky smell after I lift the cap. No problem, numerous beers start the same way. A drink now, barley, hops, grassy, vaguely tropical, let’s toss a palm frond in there too. Basically inoffensive, I am the better for having tried.

Bottle from Tesco, Ipswich. Pours red/pink with a short lasting dark pink head. Aroma of peppery herb, berries, cherries and aniseed. Towards heavy sweetness, with a peppery bitterness bite to the tongue. Moderate body, sticky texture, average plus carbonation. Spicy medicinal finish. My goodness me, not one I will seek out again..

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from 'Rudat', best before August 2018. Clear, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy aroma of grains and some straw. Moderately sweet, minimally bitter, slightly grassy taste of grains, some honey, a bit of straw and a touch of cardboard, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy and a bit papery finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very bland, watery Lager.
