About
Searching for a suitable site to establish their first brewery operation in the Caribbean, Heineken settled for the Industrial Estate at Vieux Fort in Saint Lucia as the location of choice. The facilities provided by the site, the quality of the water in the area and the concessions available under St. Lucia's Incentive Legislation, were some of the factors that led to the decision.
As a result, Windward and Leeward Brewery Limited was incorporated under the Commercial Code of St. Lucia on March 11, 1974 and commenced production in November 1975 to manufacture Heineken Beer under franchise from its Dutch parent company Heineken as a major shareholder.
As of February 1, 2021. Windward and Leeward Brewery Limited and Du Boulay’s Bottling Co. Limited (WLBL DBC) is now Heineken Saint Lucia Ltd.

275ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Dec 22. Misty gold appearance. Not great, tastes a bit old and lightstruck with further cardboard notes but there we go it's a St Lucia tick. Rated kindly as past BBD.

Beers of the World country 149: Saint Lucia 🇱🇨
"The beer is clear golden in colour with a thin foam head when poured in the glass. Smells very sweet and has a malty start to the taste before the aftertaste is more sweet again. I could easily drink a lot of these when served cold under a palm tree in the Caribbean, but when served cold on a cold November evening in Norway it is enough with just the one." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
