Carib Beer Brewery

We are great lovers of Carib beer and would like to tour the Carib brewery while in St. Kitts.

Have you toured the brewery? Is this do-able? Or maybe I should ask if there is a tour for the brewery? :D

Thanks!

Yes, the Carib Brewery still does tours, as recent as last week. Will try and find out a contact no./email.

I would also be interested in information on touring the brewery...

No. for the Carib Brewery is (869) 465 2309. Email - kitsbeer@sisterisles.kn

I recall the director in charge of the Brewery is Mark Wilkin.

Anybody know how far away from port the Brewery is?

It is about a 10 min taxi ride.

As from October 2012, the Carib Brewery will be open for tours from Monday to Friday 10 am - 3 pm. The entrance fee is USD 15 per person which includes 1 - 2 complimentary drinks of your choice after the guided tour which takes about 40 mins. Age limit 18+, any exceptions will have to have the Plant Manager's permission. It is preferable, but not necessary that tours are scheduled. Group limit - 10 persons per guide. No pictures can be taken inside the Brewery. Visitor passes will be issued at the gate. Hair nets and ear plugs will be issued.

They have tour agents who will also be marketing the tour for them and also some of the cruise lines are interested.

I just had my buddy (who owns a drive thru) order me a case of it. Can't wait.

I thought the main brewery is located in Trinidad-Tobago?

There are 2 of them. One in t. Kitts and the other in Trinidad. St. Kitts has dark beer bottles and Trinidad has the clear see-thru ones. The Carib made in Trinidad is also the ones they export. However, there has been times when the Brewery in Trinidad had problems then St. Kitts had to step in to help them out. I have drunk them both and much prefer hands down the Carib made in St. Kitts.

Where did you get information about this? I don't see anything on their website, and I emailed them almost a month ago with no response. We'd really like to schedule a tour for our cruise in December. Thanks for any more info you can give!

That information came directly from the Plant Manager, Mr. Maynard just recently. I have not seen their website. Will try and find out which agents (local/international) are marketing the tour. I seem to recall Port Promotions is one of them. Will check it out.

Does anyone have the address in St. Kitts for this brewery? I can't find it.

:D

When we signed up for our cruise, our travel agent sent us a link to an excursion company called Shore Trips. They advertise a trip to brewery and a couple other stops for $89.00. We are thinking of grabbing a taxi and trying it on our own.

I believe that tours have to be arranged. It is not a drop in & I will do a tour thing.

It is on the main island road. It is past the hospital on you left.

Thanks Paul! Is it walking distance from the pier or should we get a taxi?

I would recommend a taxi. I still would contact them about doing a tour before going there & being disappointed that it may not be available without prior reservations.

Will do and thanks Paul!

This sounds like a good time. I was trying to find something to do on St. Kitts, and DW and I love touring breweries and the sampling of course.

Does the brewery have a bar where we could sit and have a few draft pints?

I think you have to do the tour first.

But they do have a bar with beer on tap for after the tour?

I believe they do.

Has anyone done this tour recently? I have a few questions.
