WHITE TIP SHARK CONSERVATION PROGRAMME

Our White Tip Lager not only bears the name of the White Tip shark, but also actively supports their conservation. We partner with the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation and the Cayman Islands Department of Environment to donate a portion of all White Tip sales to shark conservation efforts.

When you choose to drink White Tip, you help ensure a sustainable future for Cayman’s marine ecosystems.

PLASTIC FREE

Our products and packaging are now entirely plastic free!

We have invested in biodegradable six-pack rings for our beer cans, providing us with an eco-friendly carrier that is both recyclable and compostable. We have also adopted a direct-print approach for the design of our cans, eliminating the need for plastic labels.

PLASTIC FREE

RECYCLABLE CANS

Our beer cans are made from 100% aluminum, making them ideal for recycling. Aluminum can be recycled indefinitely without losing its quality, and is significantly more energy efficient than producing aluminum from raw materials.

We encourage you to help us save the environment by disposing of your cans at recycling sites on-island.

RECYCLABLE CANS

SOLAR

Solar panels are installed on the roofs of our brewery, through which we produce significant portions of our own electricity. We utilise the largest available commercial solar option in Cayman, ensuring that we minimise our carbon emissions.

REUSING SPENT GRAINS

When we brew our beers, the grains used to extract sugars are le? behind as 'spent' grains. Rather than discarding these grains, we give them away to local farmers for their livestock. Though we can’t use them any longer, their high protein and fiber content makes them valuable as livestock feed.
