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 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.

Cayman now has a light beer of which it can be proud and by drinking it, Caymanians are also supporting local business growth and protection of the local environment.” The design of the CayLight packaging and labels was led by CIB’s Kate Cuming and the designer was Mr Simon Paradieu, a Caymanian graphic designer and owner of local company Eyewaves. “ CayLight was designed to be part of the CIB family and to symbolize its Cayman roots. “We chose to incorporate a number of uniquely Caymanian icons into the design of CayLight, the same ones as Caybrew,” she said. “The design is based around the national plant, Silver Thatch, a symbol of Cayman’s heritage and it’s three stars represent the three Islands of Cayman. Stamping these pieces of Caymanian identity onto CayLight gives roots to the idea that CayLight is proudly made in Cayman, is passionate about the environment and all about supporting local business and industry. “ The bright blues of the Cayman sea, are a theme that run through from the bottle labels, to the 6 packs and the cartons. The green bottle continues to symbolize the tradition set by Caybrew of being truly recyclable and the returnable bottle of CayLight stands for the same principles as Caybrew. CayLight sales representatives Peter Carlowe, Jarrett Nicholson and Matthew Leslie will be running promotions around the three Islands. If you would like to sample CayLight you may visit the brewery between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. CayLight is now available in all liquor stores and bars nationwide.
