The tour operator called me on the morning of the tour to give me the time slot for my tour. Cruise ship passengers got first preference for the early morning tour that day so my time slot was late morning which I didn't mind. I arrived 5 minutes early and nobody was there. (Side note: I would suggest they put up more signage outside the brewery). I called the tour operator and he said someone would be there soon. After about 10 minutes 2 guys came to open up. Some cruise ship passengers arrived soon after and they were taken into the brewery while I waited outside. The 2 tour guides then came outside and told me that that was because sometimes the cruise ship passengers don't like when outsiders join their tour group (I must say, I've been a cruise ship passenger myself multiple times and I've never experienced this). They eventually took me to join the group & they introduced me to the group before the tour started. The tour itself was not bad at all and the unlimited beer was a plus. It would have been nice though, not to be treated as an afterthought as I did pay for the tour like everyone else.

Die Brauereibesichtigung war sehr interessant und beeindruckend. Die 4 unterschiedlichen Biersorten der Brauerei konnten in unbegrenzter Menge getestet werden. Der Tour Guide Simraw hat uns mit guten Geschichten über die Historie der Brauerei gut unterhalten und alle unsere Rückfragen gerne und gut beantwortet. Simraw spricht sehr gut und verständliches Englisch.

We took a tour of Caribbean brewing company. It was within walking distance from the cruise dock but there were no signs or street names. We found it and even though we were early, she gave us beers while we waited. We loved hearing the story of how the brewery got started, so aptly told by our hostess, Simran. She was also very observant to an empty glass and kept track of which beer should be your next.

Had some confusion about the time of our tour. Viator info said between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. In reality we were supposed to be at the brewery at 10:30. We discovered this after going to the brewery restraunt Dutch Blond beach bar on the front street in St Martin. Spoke to Samil the owner of the restraunt annd brewery after our lunch at the restraunt. Samil gave us a ride over to the brewery in his personal vehicle. He phoned the brewery and arranged to have his sister Simran give us a private tour and beer tasting. This was incredibly generous of him as we felt the time mix up was at least partially our fault. Simran did a great job telling us the story of the brewery and Dutch Blond beach bar. She was a wonderful host and gave us a ride back to our cruise ship afterwards.
