One of the US Virgin Islands’ most beloved attractions has reopened in the wake of Hurricane Irma.

The Frenchtown Brewing Company, which first made its debut in St Thomas in 2015, is a craft brewery set in the fishing village of Frenchtown.

The “3-barrel nano-brewery” in Hop Alley serves a mix of house favorites and seasonal beers, including its Hop Alley IPA, the Frenchie Farmhouse Saison house brew.

Make sure you take home one of their signature Frenchtown Brewing Growlers.
