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, thanks luttonm! Clear glowing yellow color with small white ring. Aroma is corn, papery, touch of cardboard, not too bad. Taste is corn, papery malts, a little little touch of fruit. Medium carbonation. Maybe drinkable-ish if really cold.

Many thanks to Beerhunter111 for sharing! Smooth grainy beginning. Hints of grainy sweetness, not much depth. Refreshing with a slightly grainy body. No bitterness and easy to drink.

On tap at Saint James Club Morgan Bay. Pale yellow gold color . Brief white head disapates quickly. Flavor is grainy malt and light in body. Some bitterness in finish. The hotter the temp is at the pool, the better this tastes. Overall, this is just another Caribbean lager swill that keeps you from dying of thirst.

Tastes like paper with some skunk. Luckily I didn’t have to drink much of this at the tasting as Travlr, who provided the beer in the first place, stole my glass partway through. Cheers to you sir!

Bottle (courtesy of my brother and his lovely wife - hopefully they continue taking cruises). Tinny barley malt aroma. Medium yellow with small head. Lightly sweet lemon, barley malt and hay flavor. Not a bad pale lager.

Small bottle drank at 10:30 in the morning of 6th March 2014 outside a little shack bar just north of Rodney Bay. I wasn’t going to have a beer, but at 2% ABV I figured it didn’t count as a real drink. Very shandy like in nature, half beer, half lemonade, which is most likely what it actually is. Refreshing enough but not really my thing, plenty of lemon flavours if that floats your boat. Gives me a second tick from the brewery I suppose, otherwise it was a complete waste of money.
