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.

Bottle shared at the ChrisO Flags of Many Nations Easter Tasting 2013 - London. Pours clearish brown with a creamy tan head. Sugary dark malt nose, some sweet bread. Medium sweet flavor, a little thin, with dark sugars and sweet chocolate. Light to medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Sweet finish with sugary dark malts. Very simple but not terrible.

33 cL bottle. Copper pour, with a thin, fizzy, off-white head. The aroma is a mixture of cream soda and ginger ale. Sugary sweet, with a light savory spice in the finish. Light body, high carbonation, and crisp. This is more of a flavored soda than a beer.
