One of the disadvantages of living in the Caribbean is that good beer is near impossible to find... We could really use some Moose Drool or Tactical Nuclear Penguin.
Speaking of BrewDog, things have been, shall we say, interesting...
In the meantime, I expect I really should be doing some home brewing but, so far, a cunning plan to make a Tactical Nuclear Penguin on the boat escapes me...
Back to the drawing board!
Oh, and in the FYI department: Diageo, they happens to be the makers of Captain Morgan rum which is now made in the USVI... We don't drink it because our taste does not run to over sweet mouthwash and if you want to drink a proper rum from the Virgin Islands might we suggest Cruzan.

What stuff costs...
Most of the eateries here cater to tourists (and those who don't still price like they do) but I find it amazing how many cruisers seem to think nothing about $4 beers...
As for me, the idea of a $4 beer is simply nuts (and by the way we're not talking some exotic micro brewery awesomeness we're talking Coors/Heineken/Presidente/Caribe) but it makes you wonder about what folks are willing to pay for stuff.
Of course, places that sell $4 bottles of beer don't put food on the table for the frugal cruiser either. Pretty soon those $15 hamburgers start to really deplete the cruising funds...
That said, when a six pack of just drinkable beer from the local store goes for $7.99 it's (if beer happens to be something you think important) time to point the boat to less expensive places, cut way back on the beer consumption, or get up close and personal with home brewing!
Anyone actually brewing beer on their boats out there?
