They did not make beer in the old way, but break all the rules, turning each can of beer into a work of art with local flair and creative techniques.

Year 2012, they made a splash with Boat Beer – a light but full-bodied Session IPA that quickly became a legend. By 2015, the brewery had expanded, capacity had doubled, but the spirit of “quality over quantity” still burned. And then, in 2020, they took a bold step: collaborating with local coffee roasters to create St Kitts Coffee – a beer that captivates the hearts of flavor lovers.
