1981 Brewing Co. was born from a simple idea: that our island paradise deserved a world-class, independent craft brewery to call its own. This is our story.
The name ‘1981’ is a tribute to the heart of our identity. It pays homage to the year the Cayman Islands’ coat of arms, a symbol of our heritage and unique spirit, was officially granted. It represents our mission: to brew exceptional beers that stand apart, just like our islands. We combine time-honored techniques with modern innovation to create flavors that are authentically Caymanian, crafted for locals and visitors alike.



As Cayman's only independent craft brewery, we cherish the freedom to forge our own path. We answer to our community and our craft, not to corporate interests, allowing us to innovate and brew the beers we're passionate about.
From our naturally filtered Cayman water to the finest hops and malts sourced globally, we never compromise on quality. Every batch is a testament to our commitment to creating a consistently excellent product.
We're more than a brewery; we're a gathering place. We're proud to be a cornerstone of the Cayman Islands' craft culture, bringing locals and visitors together to share stories and a great beer.
Our story is still being written, and we want you to be a part of it. Visit our taproom to taste our passion firsthand, or follow our journey online as we continue to explore the world of craft beer.
