Belize: Businesses beginning to feel beer shortages following power outage earlier this month

Hotels, resorts, and restaurants across Belize are beginning to feel the effects of a beer supply disruption, following a power outage that affected Bowen & Bowen�s production facilities earlier this month, Breaking Belize News reported on May 16.

The company, in a statement released on May 6th, confirmed that a major outage on May 5th had caused equipment failures and halted production on Line 2 � the line responsible for glass-bottled Belikin Beer and Belikin Stout.

As a result, many businesses are now facing a shortage of these popular beverages, particularly glass-bottled beers. One resort owner contacted our newsroom, expressing concern: �We�ve been struggling to restock the bar for our guests. It�s been difficult to find Belikin in bottles � and that�s what most visitors ask for.�

Bowen & Bowen noted that while the issue is temporary, it has increased production of canned beer to help meet demand in the short term. The company�s technical teams are reportedly working around the clock to restore full functionality to their glass bottling line.

In the meantime, local businesses are adapting � some switching entirely to canned beer, while others are facing tough questions from customers expecting the usual Belizean favorite in bottles.
