Over the last 2-3 years the islands beer has improved dramatically. From what the grocery stores offer, the craft beer selections and even what restaurants are offering. I prefer IPA beer and had come accustomed to going to Dinghy Dock primarily to find a beer to enjoy. But things have changed for the better. You do have to pay more but it is well worth it if you don’t enjoy the usual island beer options. What I have found is the colder the better and the Blonde Beer from Pelikaan Brewery is real good when you get ice cold. And generally what you pay in the grocery store in SXM is equivalent to what I pay when I go out to a restaurant in the states.
