The Foreign and Trade Minister EP Chet Green reported to the Cabinet of Antigua this week that the Carib Beer manufacturer has submitted requests for further concessions.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

It also sought the permission to re-use their bottles, the Carib Beer Brewery asserts, will reduce the waste which other beers incur.<\/p>\n

They seek some consideration for their environmentally sensitive policy that will reduce the need to use landfill space.<\/p>

Carib Brewery, headquartered in Trinidad and Tobago and one of the leading breweries in the Caribbean, is planning to\u00a0build a local production on the island.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Carib operates already three breweries in the Caribbean, namely in Trinidad and Tobago (1950), St. Kitts and Nevis (1997) and in Grenada (2002).<\/p>\n

In addition Ansa McAl bought in 2016\u00a0Florida Beer Co.\u00a0(former\u00a0Indian River Brewing Co.) from Cape Canaveral, Florida, one of the largest breweries in Florida, which serves not only the Caribbean diaspora in the United States but also neighboring theme parks in Orlando, Florida but also in California with licensed brands like Simpon\u2019s\u00a0Duff Beer<\/em>, or\u00a0Harry Potter<\/em>\u00a0beer.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

When completed Carib will be brewing and filling plant for about 60,000 cases of beers, malts, juices and soft drinks for local consumption and export.<\/p>\n

Carib has partnerships with international companies such as\u00a0Heineken International\u00a0B.V.,\u00a0Diageo, Molson Coors\u00a0and\u00a0Ginseng UpCorporation. As a result\u00a0Heineken<\/em>,\u00a0Guinness Stout<\/em>,\u00a0Coors Light<\/em>,\u00a0Ginseng Up<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Smirnoff Ice<\/em>\u00a0are part of Carib\u2019s production portfolio. However, the types and brands of beverages which will be produced at the new brewery are still not decided.<\/p>
