+1: St. John Brewers Island Summer Ale (U.S. Virgin Islands)
The micro-brew revolution is alive and well in the Caribbean, probably nowhere more so than in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. That’s where a couple of happily displaced statesiders established the St. John Brewers label a few years back and set about crafting the region’s most diverse collection of beers, all of them bearing distinctive elements of our islands. Mango Pale Ale, Island Hoppin’ IPA, Liquid Sunshine Ale – the names themselves take your mind to the beach. Island Summer Ale is a particular favorite for the warm months on the horizon. You can find it in the States between April and August, but as it’s always summer in St. John, you can be sure to always enjoy this fine ale no matter when you visit the Virgins.
