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 from a supermarket in Rouseau. Clear red color with fizz. Floral fruity aroma. Taste is floral perfume - not a flavor I have encountered very often, which at least makes this one interesting.

Piton was tried and enjoyed on an earlier Caribbean cruise. I am back in St. Lucia so now is an opportunity for a rating. It represents nicely, all light gold through the clear 9.3 oz bottle. Sampled without a glass, no real need or desire. The scent is basic West Indies lager, hay and grain. In the high humidity and served very cold there is nothing to complain about, the taste delivering barley, rice for some reason, field and just a touch of sweetness. Not bad, just not exciting. Live in the moment, you’ll be happier.

Many thanks for sharing the bottle (275ml) to Mariusz. Alez totalnie zle piwo. Kiepskie, lekko metniste, jakby z domieszka piasku. Zero piany, zero aromatu. Smakowo bardzo wodniste, sprawialo wrazenie jakby do syropu kukurydzianego dodano syrop glukozowo-fruktozowy:) kojazylo mi sie takze z tanim z marketu podgrzewanym miodem rzepakowym. Bleee. Thi BAD beer should be in Top 50 in the worst beer ranking.
