Why Drink Local Craft Beer?

Craft breweries are usually defined as small, traditional, independent breweries.  Cayman Islands Brewery (CIB), for example, was launched in 2007 and is the only brewery on Grand Cayman. Since inception, they have launched 10 beer brands and 3 seasonal beers.

Here are a few of the factors that make craft beers stand out from the crowd.

  • Better Ingredients: Your average beer requires four ingredients: water, grains, hops, and yeast. Your local brewery, however, uses higher quality, fresher, and sometimes even locally-grown or organic ingredients. You will almost never find two craft beers that are exactly alike because of the variety they offer.
  • Support Local Business: Spending money on local craft beers is a great way to support the local business and community.
  • Sustainable Brewing: Most craft brewers try to ply their craft in a sustainable manner. For example, CIB purifies the water they use to 99.9%, which means you’ll enjoy the freshest beer in the Caribbean. Also, 50% of their brewing process uses self-generated N2, significantly reducing their need for imported CO2 and helping to minimize their carbon footprint. The brewery’s White Tip Lager is the world’s first conservation beer. Part of the profits are donated to Cayman Marine Conservation.
  • Seasonals: Most craft brewers have seasonals, making different styles for different seasons, or using ingredients that are in season. Mango Tango is one of CIB’s most popular seasonals; it features tropical mango and a hint of coconut and is superb on a hot Cayman day.
