Antigua has welcomed the return of local beer production with the launch of Long Bay Lager, the flagship product of newly established Long Bay Brewing.

Now available in six-packs and full cases at retail outlets across the island, the lager is being promoted for its “gold, crisp and smooth refreshing goodness.” The brewery is also hosting pop-up events to boost awareness.

Long Bay Brewing’s lineup includes a stout and India Pale Ale, reviving options for local beer enthusiasts after years without domestic production.

The launch fills a void left by the closure of the Wadadli Brewery at Crabbes Peninsula, which once produced Antigua’s national beer but has been dormant for years.
