Traditionally bottom yeast will ferment at cold temperatures less than 10 deg C. Caybrew fermentation takes place at 12 to 18 deg C. This cold or deep fermentation allows the malt and hops to assert their fine flavors. Lager tends to be paler, drier and less alcoholic than ales. It takes nearly three weeks to produce Caybrew. That’s seven days in fermentation, ten days lagering and one day in the bottling tank. The 6 steps to brewing a refreshing Caybrew are: 1. Brewing 2. Fermentation 3. Storage 4. Filtration 5. Pasteurization 6. Packaging Caybrew works hard to ensure their customers receive the freshest beer available being produced locally, it is always the most fresh and affordable beer on the island. Fresh Caybrew is crisp, clean and refreshing. To maintain freshness Caybrew should always be stored in a cool location away from excessive light. Caybrew is passionate about preserving the environment and has adopted internationally accepted environmental practices that contribute to the preservation and protection of the local environment. This is not by any means a cost saving measure; they do this because they genuinely care about the local community and assume responsible stewardship for its environmental well being. By effectively managing precious resources and recycling bottles, spent grains, yeast and water, they have effectively established a new standard for environmentally sensitive brewing. You can help them preserve the environment by returning a case of empty Caybrew bottles to the Brewery and receive CI$2. Caybrew is located in Prospect, noted as a star attraction on our main island map.

Caybrew Wins MOND International Gold Medal and Local Award The Cayman Islands Brewery (CIB) team is proud to announce that they have been awarded a top international accolade for beer quality with their product Caybrew. The Brewery entered the beer into the Monde Selection Awards 2008, (International Institute for Quality Selections) an internationally recognized and leading global standard, and the beer came out on top with a Gold Medal. In order to achieve this award those entering must achieve very high standards which is why Oliver Wesseloh, CIB’s technical Manger was so delighted with the gold medal. “This is such an important award for us to have received and it confirms the quality of Caybrew beyond doubt. We at CIB knew we had created a high quality beer and the people of Cayman knew they had a great beer, but now the world knows we have a great beer! He exclaimed. “This really does mean a lot to us and it underscores the fact that Caybrew really is an exceptional product.” The quality and taste of Caybrew has been extremely important to CIB from the very beginning. The team always sought to create a top quality beer for the islands. The beer that would stand up on the market as a premium product and one the islands could be proud of. The beer is described as a refreshingly smooth, full-bodied premium lager, with a crisp, clean hop character and because it is brewed here on island it is an exceptionally fresh product. Wesseloh explained that the intention was to create a beer that would suit the local climate, be easy to drink and at the same time have a full bodied taste. “We wanted to create a beer that would go down easily but that had a full flavor with an acceptable alcohol content.” The beer is a fusion of the best European ingredients blended with a touch of the Caribbean. Wesseloh said that the ingredients used in Caybrew are some of the best in the world, which he says contributed in no small measure to achieving a gold medal. Although the CIB is small compared to other breweries around the world, it is a state of the art facility which has helped the team create this award winning beer and then, most importantly of all, maintain its quality. This award clearly justifies the investment in the superior facilities. “Winning such an important international industry accolade and getting the recognition the product deserves is wonderful,” said Allen Chu Fook, the brewery’s general manager. “We are incredibly proud to have received this medal and we congratulate our technical team for making such an outstanding beer. Moreover, it underlines our commitment towards maintaining the quality of Caybrew and providing our customers with the best and freshest beer on islands." Having opened the brewery in March 2007, to have gained this international industry recognition so quickly speaks volumes for the quality of Caybrew and the standards of production at the brewery. Caybrew is available right across all three Cayman Islands in bars, restaurants and liquor stores and it will now be able to display its gold medal so customers will know they are buying a product which has excelled on the international stage. With outstanding green credentials for its recycling or bottles and the water used in the brewing process, CIB is also demonstrating that being a good corporate citizen pays dividends in many ways. “Caybrew’s new piece of branding, Made Fresh Made Local is likened to a quality seal of approval which will now accompany all advertising of Caybrew to reflect the local beer’s uniqueness to Cayman,” continued Chu Fook, “the Gold medal for quality now adds to the recognition that Caybrew is a high quality fresh beer and it is brewed right here in Cayman, locally”.

Forget what you've seen in the movies. Caybrew is the new and immensely popular 100% locally produced beer of the Cayman Islands!
All beer can be classified as either an ale or a lager. The differences begin during the brewing process, as defined by the type of yeast used in the brew and the temperature at which fermentation takes place. Lagers are brewed with bottom-fermenting yeast which ferments more slowly and at colder temperatures.
