We got word today that the 2017 Caribbean
Rum and Beer Festival is returning to its origin. The island of Barbados will be hosting the
festival for 2017. It will be held at
the Rockley Golf and Country Club on December 9th from 2 pm until 10 pm.
The Caribbean Rum and Beer festival is
coming back to Barbados. After years hosted
in Grenada and St. Maarten. “The first
Caribbean Rum & Beer Festival was held in Barbados back in 2010 and after
discussions with local stakeholders we feel the time is perfect to bring our
unique event back home,” said Barbados based Festival Director Cheryl
Collymore. The festival is a rum and
beer trade expo, with distilleries, breweries and distributors using the event
to showcase their products.
“Companies are constantly searching for
cost effective ways to reach targeted customers and the Caribbean Rum &
Beer Festival provides an excellent platform,” she said. The venue is the Rockley Golf & Country
Club, meaning the inclusion of a festival golf tournament, along with product
sampling, seminars, chocolate pairings, a bartending competition and a cigar
and rum area, among others.
“The Caribbean and in particular Barbados
is the home of rum and we produce some world class quality rums and beers,”
said Festival Operation Director Dr. Glyn Williams. “The Caribbean Rum &
Beer Festival is a way to invite people from all over the world to come to
Barbados and learn more about the history, variety and versatility of these
amazing products.”
