Bahamian Brewery & Beverage Company Limited Celebrates Our 50th Anniversary

When the black, gold and aquamarine is hoisted for the 50th time on Clifford Park this July 10th, it will signify the perseverance and resilience of a people who have, grown, and developed to become the greatest little nation on the planet. Bahamian Brewery celebrates this major milestone in the story of The Bahamas and congratulates everyone who calls these beautiful islands home.

Since launching in 2007, celebrating all things Bahamian remains at the core of who we are and what we do, being 100% Bahamian owned and operated. Our expansion includes Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits retail division, currently with ten outlets throughout the country.

Redefining the beer business in The Bahamas, Bahamian Brewery, over the past fifteen years, has become known for its popular signature products Sands, Sands Light, Sands Pink/Passion Radler, Bush Crack, High Rock, Strong Back Stout, 66 Steps and Triple B Malt. Consumers continue to enjoy the freshness and great taste of our beers, packaged in attractive designs that reflect key aspects of Bahamian culture. From ‘the man in the boat’ to our play on traditional Bahamian events, our packaging remains one of a kind and reflective of who we are as a brand. Our commitment to community fifteen years later remains strong as we give back in ways that everyday Bahamian can feel our impact. From our many campaigns joining in the fight against breast cancer to our continuous support for Hands for Hunger and the Bahamas Humane Society, our dedication to supporting Bahamians remains strong. Through the retail arm (Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits) our campaigns have seen thousands of dollars donated to organizations such as the Cancer Society of The Bahamas, annually, as the company seeks to spread awareness about the disease that affects us all. Sponsorship continues to be a major part of our community initiatives, by providing financial support to major cultural events such as the Family Island regattas. With sloop sailing now being the country’s national sport, it is only fitting that the truly Bahamian beer company gives its backing.

After having been adversely impacted by the passage of Hurricane Dorian in 2019, Bahamian Brewery continues to do its part in creating clean and green business solutions. In keeping with our environmental goals of using more sustainable and environmentally friendly business solutions, Sands Beers have eliminated plastic from our packaging and has expanded our buy-back bottle program from Grand Bahama and New Providence to include Abaco, Eleuthera and Exuma, giving residents on those islands the opportunity to receive cash for each case of Sands beer bottles. Our aim is to spread this program throughout more islands of The Bahamas.

As our country celebrates 50 years of independence, our products reflect the jubilance of this beautiful moment in our history. This summer, our bottles will recognize The Bahamas’ 50th anniversary and pay homage to our 700 islands, rocks, and cays. Bahamians who collect the 50th anniversary bottle caps will be able to trade them in for free beer.

Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits has also grown to become the largest distributor of beers and spirits in The Bahamas; remaining number one is the goal. We pride ourselves in also being the official distributor of the following brands Bahamians have grown to know and love:

ABInBev: Corona Extra, Modelo Beer, Stella Artois, Budweiser, Bud Light Pernod Ricard: Perrier Jouet Champagne, Jameson Whiskey, Absolut Vodka, Malibu Rum, Beefeater Gin, Chivas Regal Scotch, Martell Cognac, Avion Tequila, Glenlivet Single Malt, Kahlua

As our country continues to move ‘Forward, Upward, Onward’ together, Bahamian Brewery & Beverage Company Limited / Jimmy’s Wines & Spirits continue to take pride in our growth and continued commitment to good business and being a good community partner. Our companies remain a big part of the very fabric of what it means to be Bahamian.

Happy 50th independence, Bahamas! From the company that brought you the truly Bahamian beer.
