Caybrew creates unique beer for Cayman Airways

Cayman Airways’ exclusive in-flight beer

(CNS): Caybrew and Cayman Airways have teamed up to serve an exclusive beer, Sir Turtle’s Sky Brew, aboard the airline’s international jet flights. CAL said the new brew blends Caymanian pride, craftsmanship and innovation as part of the airline’s effort to promote local partnerships to offer an authentic Caymanian flying experience.

In recent months, leadership teams from both companies participated in tasting sessions on the ground and in the air to establish the best blend for the best taste at 30,000 feet — the dry air and lower pressure on aircraft impact the sense of taste while in flight. A release from CAL said the result is “an expertly brewed custom craft beer that reimagines the bold flavours you expect from a classic India Pale Ale (IPA), while delivering a uniquely smooth and refreshing character carefully adjusted to shine at cruising altitude”.

Cayman Airways’ Executive Vice President for Commercial Affairs and Chief Financial Officer, Paul Tibbetts, said Sky Brew is the perfect complement to Cayman Airways’ world-class Caymanian brand and hospitality.

“We are proud to partner with Caybrew on this exciting initiative that not only enhances the in-flight experience, but also further showcases the uniquely Caymanian travel experience that only Cayman Airways offers,” he said, adding that the airline’s legendary Seven Fathoms Rum Punch from Cayman Spirits Company is also still offered free on board.

“Just as our complimentary rum punch has become a signature part of the Cayman Airways experience, Sky Brew represents another authentic celebration of local talent and craftsmanship, offering our passengers a unique taste of Cayman before they even land,” he added.

The beer costs CI$6, and Mark Haring, Caybrew Brand Manager, said it captures the essence of the islands in every sip. “As a proud Caymanian brewery, we are delighted to collaborate with Cayman Airways to craft Sky Brew. This partnership is a tribute to Cayman’s rich tradition of craftsmanship, warm hospitality, and dynamic entrepreneurial spirit, bringing a true taste of home to the skies,” he added.

    7 Fathoms Rum😂
    Do they actually think we believe you can take a liquid, which is in-compressible , under the sea , which is also in-compressible , in order to enhance the flavor and age the Rum…at the aforementioned depth of 7 Fathoms ?!!?
    I don’t know what proof % over Rum they are drinking down there in the marketing depot, but I suspect it may be getting downed along with some serious High Grade imported Oregano cigarellos from the Strawberry Hill region of Jamaica.

    Bold move to promote this hoppy beer which will only appeal to few when it would make sense to go with a generic regular light beer.

    A rum punch and a couple of beers, then land, go to the car park and drive home. If you do not hit a light pole along the way

    ….or, CAL paid big bucks for a blend of existing products? After all, where was the testing to get the taste “right”, conducted? Surely not at 30,000 feet!

    Perhaps hidden in there somewhere are some “connoisseur’s” fees to “convince” the buyer (CAL) that the taste is “perfecto” at thirty thousand. I gather it changes with ascent and descent??

    You can see some shit with public money!!

    I can’t speak about the taste but nothing is inherently wrong with the concept…..unless..?

    The research and development costs to achieve the “best taste at 30,000 feet” were billed to CAL, as a bespoke ‘design’, as it were. Possible? Oh yes! Likely? Possibly!

    With the waste of public marketing dollars under Kenneth Bryan’s ministership nothing would surprise me. “How much would you gouge us to create a beer for CAL? ….ok, no problem, contact the CO.”

    Remember the fashion handbags and UK football team sponsorship? How quickly sheeple forget?

    Audit anytime soon?

    Otherwise

        Have some self respect. 345 is absolute pig swill.

        It has captured the local market for alcoholics and down-and-outs, but it ain’t getting my business.

            Man, some people are triggered by suggesting they’re drinking something with the taste depth of a puddle.

          345 : the “Preferred” beer to drive with in your hand. Judging by the amount of empty cans getting tossed out a car window all over the island.

    Suggestion for Cayman Airways: Try featuring local music in the planes. Include a simple list of the songs, the name of the artist and a contact e-mail. Who knows, CAL might inadvertently launch someone’s international journey…

    Neat, but rest assured the CAL we pay for, will somehow find a way to loose millions on this. Bonuses for everyone. Rinse repeat.
