In 1988, Heineken International along with partners in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, established the Kalik lager brand, produced at the new Commonwealth Brewery, Ltd. (CBL) brewery, opened on the capital island of New Providence. This brand has become the most notable and best-selling Bahamian beer brand, and it is often sought after by tourists to the country.
At 5% alcohol, Kalik is a full-bodied, premium beer sold in bottles, cans, and on draft. It is exported to select American outlets.
The name of the beer comes from the odd sound made by cowbells used in Bahamian celebrations.
This writer has sampled Kalik (from the clear bottle) and can attest to it's high drinkability, pleasant smoothness, and wide appeal.
