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.

Bottle at a RB tasting, thanks to Cuso. Thin body, moderate carbonation. Quite clean in my opinion, I only get light cooked corn off note. Otherwise... well there is basically no character at all. So... good, I guess? Easy drinking which is all that I would pray for in the country of origin.

Country tick #103. Golden beer, almost no head, aroma is grain, mais, dusty, metal, cardboard, taste is the same, sweet, very dry, spa red/mineral water, not much. Watery, long aftertaste. Meh - Bottle specifically says brewed on St Lucia for Curacao, guess the other one is retired now.

Bottle split at Cotts Convention V, T Hanks, 08/06/19. Pale golden blonde with a decent off white cap. Nose is grass, pale malts, straw, papery twang. Taste comprises pale malts, cereals, grains, pretty basic all round. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Sub par even for a PLCS (pale lager country scope).
