Some of the original equipment is on display, and you will learn how the updated equipment enhanced the quality of the beers. A tasting will confirm why Belikin beers are so popular. You might sample the flagship European-style lager, a chocolate stout, and a black and tan, which is a blend of the two. A traditional Belizean lunch of stewed chicken with rice and beans follows.
