From the cruise ship port, don’t go to Port Lucaya, ask to go to the brewery, a cab will know where it is, only about 5 minutes from the ships. Has a liquor store and sells singles and cases of their two beers Sands and Strong Back Stout, also a gift shop (although why make a black long sleeve shirt for the stout in 100 degree Bahamian summers?). Luckily got a tour from a gracious lab employee named Springs I believe. She previously worked at a brewery in Barbados, didn’t say what but gave us a much longer tour than we expected for free, but don’t expect a tour they don’t officially do them, we just got a bit lucky they were having problems and couldn’t brew at the moment. Very high tech industrial, small brewery.
