Days of the Beer, July 31

The beer for today is Carib Lager.

On July 31, 1498, Christopher Columbus became the first European to find the island of Trinidad.

Trinidad is the southernmost island in the Caribbean and is just 7 miles off the northeastern coast of Venezuela. It has an area of 1864 square miles and with Tobago, has a population of just over a million people.

Apparently these 1.3 million people all love them some Carib Lager.

Launched on May 16th, 1950, this full bodied, clear and refreshing lager with 5.2% ABV is the flagship brand of Carib Brewery and the preferred brew of Trinidad and Tobago.

I wonder why they would start brewing lagers in the Caribbean, wouldn't the higher temps be better for ales?

This beer is a 3% on Ratebeer; and a C on Beer Advocate.

I'm sure it's very refreshing.
