Belikin

No Belize travelogue would be complete without a discussion of Belikin.  As far as I can tell, Belikin and its cousins are the only beers available in Belize.  Fortunately they are very good.  The most common beer is just called Belikin.  There is also Belikin Stout (my favorite), Belikin Premium, Lighthouse Lager, and Guiness brewed by Belikin under license.  I never saw any beer other than these in Belize.

The River Camp at Chaa Creek has no electricity and hence no electric refrigerator, but there was always a cooler full of Belikin and Belikin Stout on ice.
