Every beer tells a story. Ours begins with a passion for craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to quality. Step inside our brewery and discover the process, the people, and the philosophy that make every can of 1981 a true taste of the Cayman Islands.
We believe great beer starts with the best ingredients. We source the finest malts, hops, and yeasts from around the world, carefully selecting each one to create balanced, flavorful, and unique recipes.
The foundation of our beer is the naturally filtered limestone aquifer water of the Cayman Islands. Its unique mineral profile provides the perfect canvas for building our distinct island-inspired flavors.
Brewed with passion and precision by a team dedicated to the art of beer. We combine time-honored techniques with modern innovation to ensure every batch meets our exacting standards of quality.
It all begins here. We crush premium malted barley to expose the starches, then steep the grains in hot water. This creates a sweet, sugary liquid called ‘wort’—the very soul of our beer.
The wort is transferred to our kettle where it’s boiled to sterilize it. During the boil, we add carefully selected hops at different stages to provide the bitterness, flavor, and iconic aroma of our beers.
After cooling, the wort moves to our fermentation tanks where the real magic happens. We pitch our house yeast, which diligently works to convert the sugars into alcohol and CO₂, creating the complex flavors and character of the final beer.
Once fermentation is complete, the beer is conditioned and carbonated before being packaged fresh. Whether in our iconic cans or a keg for the taproom, it’s ready to be enjoyed at its peak flavor, straight from the source.
