mrar Posted January 6, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2011 We will be going to the S. Caribbean next month (!) and I was wondering if there were any recommendations for beer or rum tours/tastings or just great local beers and rums to try? The islands we are going to are San Juan, Dominica, Grenada, Bonaire, Aruba, and St. Thomas, but I'd love to hear anything anyone has to share on any island! Thanks!

Spurscorner Posted January 7, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Aruba and Bonair are Dutch territories so Amstel and Heineken are the beers of choice there. Try Carib beer if you can find it. I believe they have a brewery on Grenada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadCruiser89 Posted January 7, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Amstel Bright is by far the BEST beer i have ever had!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JandBR_PHX Posted January 8, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Beer - Medalla D'Oro in PR is OK, but like Spurscorner, I'd go with Carib. Seems like it's pretty widely available. I'm not a rum expert, but I like the Appleton VX (Jamaica), and the Mt. Gay Eclipse (Barbados). I haven't had many different types, but look forward to trying more!

luddite Posted January 8, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 8, 2011 We got to drink some 'Leon in Costa Maya. Guinness Foreign Extra is worth the effort. Tortola had Mackeson's XXX, which was a wonderful find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted January 8, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2011 i'd vote for Mount Gay rum - the rum that invented rum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
