The Bahamian Brewery currently produces nine different brands and also distributes several global beer brands throughout the Bahamas. As the leading independent brewer in the Caribbean, rich in history, culture, and taste, CARIB Brewery has crafted a superior and consistent portfolio across 33 countries from its four breweries in Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, St. Kitts & Nevis and Florida. As part of the agreement, the Bahamian Brewery, through its world-class manufacturing facility and robust route-to-market system, is expected to produce beverages from CARIB Brewery’s outstanding portfolio of high-quality brands. ANSA McAL Group CEO, Anthony Sabga III stated, “We are thrilled about this partnership and the investment is consistent with our strategy of driving the growth of our appealing beverage brands on a global scale. The Bahamian Brewery is looking to create additional value while also setting up the business for a new phase of growth. We have a lot of experience in those situations and Jimmy and his team represent everything we look for in a partner. The Bahamian Brewery produces some of the Bahamas’ favourite beverage brands that are complementary to our current portfolio. We are excited at the prospect of working together to support the continued success of the Bahamian Brewery & Beverage Company.” (PR) ]]>
