St Lucia’s first and only craft brewery, Antillia Brewing Company, has launched a special seasonal offering, Sorrel & Spice Christmas Ale, available now at the brewery in Rodney Bay.
The brew is delicately flavored with cinnamon, ginger, and clove.
“This Christmas seasonal ale was entirely the brainchild of our head brewer, Sidoine Ephraim, and it is absolutely fantastic,” said Andrew Hashey, President of Antilla Brewing Company. “I asked Sid to work on a special Christmas beer that would represent the culture and traditions of St. Lucia, using all natural local ingredients. The sorrel imparts a red hue and flavor with a wonderful red hue and flavor that is balanced with a careful use of spices to produce an incredibly beautiful and refreshing beer.”
Antilla Brewing Company specializes in traditional, all natural ales.
The company opened in February 2015, with the intent of putting St Lucia on the craft brewing map.
The company operates a brewery and tap room and serves its signature style ales by the glass, one-liter takeaway growler, and keg.
