CARIB Brewery is an industry leader and has dominated the regional market in the production of go-to beverages for locals and visitors. CARIB Brewery brands are internationally recognized and the Carib® logo is known worldwide as a symbol of the Caribbean's blue waters and year-round sunshine. The British get kudos for introducing beer to the Caribbean in the 1880s as it was Sir Gerald Wight, then Chairman of Alstons Company Limited (now McEnearney Alstons Limited) and a Royal Air Force veteran from World War I, who established a new brewery and a glassworks factory as a life-preserver to a traditional sugar and oil-dependent economy. Caribbean Development Company Limited (CDC) was formed in 1947 and led by Sir Gerald to do just that.
