Cayman's Distillery & Brewery Tours

Cayman is home to some pretty unique beverages. From Seven Fathoms rum which is distilled at 7 fathoms of under sea pressure to White Tip, the beer that saves sharks. 

Whether it be a rainy day or you just need a break from the sun, take a little day trip from Silver Sands and check out the Distillery and one or both of the island's breweries. They do daily tours where you can sample the products and see how these delicious beverages are made.

Cayman Islands Brewery offers tours Monday-Friday on the hour, 9am-4pm.

The CIB produces four main beers, plus seasonals, all of which are worth sampling. You can purchase their beers from the brewery or from most liquor stores, bars and restaurants Island-wide.

• Caybrew (5% ABV) A smooth, full-bodied premium lager, with a crisp, clean hop character.

• Caybrew Premium Light (4.2%) ABV A premium light lager with a smooth sweet finish. Specially crafted to remove the gluten.  

• Ironshore Bock (7% ABV) An amber lager, made with specialist hops from the Cascade Mountains, delivering a unique roasted after taste.

• White Tip Lager (5.2% ABV) A very smooth pilsner, with bright golden colour. This conservation beer donates $1.20 per case to marine research in the Cayman Islands.

• 345 Lager (5% ABV) A refreshing light lager, with a short sweet finish. One of the Islands most popular beers.

• 345 Stout (7.5% ABV) A bold strong stout, with hints of chocolate and smooth roasted finish.

Seasonals include: Mango Tango, Twisted Citrus and Pirates Gold with more available periodically throughout the year.

1981 Brewing Co is the newest brewery on the island and has been operating since 2017. The clever name is the nautical coordinates of the Cayman Islands: 19 degrees north 81 degrees west.

Three beers are the foundation of this unique brewery. Cayman Blonde, Island Session and Tropical IPA. From time to time, you will find limited editions produced in collaboration with local farmers and stakeholders. 1981 prides themselves in bringing you fresh, local, craft beer, made right here in Grand Cayman from the finest ingredients. They are a craft brewery that truly wants to embody in its brews all that our islands represents.
