Amstel Bright | the local’s beer (2024)

“Embrace the island attitude and grab the moment to turn any situation into a Bright moment. Sint Maarten’s refreshing beach beer!”

Amstel beer was born from the friendship of two friends who wanted to share a great beer. In the beginning, Amstel produced beer in Holland and shipped it to the Caribbean. But in 1960, Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands inaugurated the Antillaanse Brouwerij Brewery in Curacao, and here is where Amstel Bright was invented!
