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.

Old rating from 30/08/14 - a 250ml bottle friends brought me back from holiday. Pours a pale golden with a small white head. Aromas & tastes of grain, grass, hay & sweet malt. Mild carbonation. Mildly bitter sweet finish. Drinkable at home but much more enjoyable in T & T I expect!

Old rating from 10-02-16 - 275ml bottle gifted by a friend who'd picked it up in Antigua. Pours hazy pale gold with no head. Aromas of hops & bread. Taste is sweet, grain and corn malts. The aftertaste is sweetish-grainy, fresh, only hints of bitterness. Overall not by far the worst beer I've had from the Caribbean.

Bottle at St Marteen. Yellow pour with a white head. Disgustingly sweet grainy garbage, the usual macro light lager. It’s really not even worth writing about it, tbh it wasn’t worth buying it even, but a new country tick’s a new country tick and also the location saves it from scoring even lower.
