Grand Cayman

I imagine that the sight of yet another beer in this space is not a very welcome one for some of you… And not just for those who prefer rum either.
More than a few of you, most notably my friend/neighbor Brett Circe, have repeatedly expressed a disinterest in Caribbean beers, owing to the similarities inherent in most of them. You know, the same light-bodied, easy-drinking, perfect for a warm, sunny day description we’ve used on more than a few occasions to describe beers hailing from such disparate destinations as Martinique, Grand Bahama Island, Haiti, and Aruba.
If some of you are bored with beer, I get it.

As was the case ahead of my trip to Grand Bahama Island last year, I had real doubts about Grand Cayman’s ability to deliver “uncommon” travel experiences on par with less touristy destinations I’ve visited over the years. In places like Martinique, Nevis and Tobago, you’re off the beaten path the minute you step off the plane. In more popular destinations, you have to seek out the uncommon.
If you’ve read this, this, or this, then you already know that I didn’t have much problem finding and enjoying a side of Grand Cayman not found in traditional travel guides. The island is just full of cool surprises, not the least of which is its own homegrown beer.
