About Belikin Stout
Belikin Stout is the dark beer in Belize Brewing Company's core local range, sold alongside the flagship Belikin lager and Belikin Light. The brewery also runs seasonal variations on it — Belikin Sorrel Stout, Belikin Chocolate Stout and a Belikin Black & Tan — which is how a brewery with one dominant national brand creates novelty without launching new names. It is brewed at Ladyville, north of Belize City, on the same plant as the rest of the Belikin family.

About the owner: Bowen & Bowen
Bowen & Bowen is a privately held company headquartered in Belize City, Belize, founded in 1932. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control.
Bowen & Bowen is Belize's largest privately held consumer goods group, founded in Belize City in 1932 by Eric W. M. Bowen and his brother Fredrick as a general trading company. It introduced carbonated flavoured drinks under the Crystal name in 1944, acquired the right to bottle Coca-Cola in Belize in 1961 and built the Ladyville plant in 1965, and established Belize Brewing Company in 1969 in partnership with Cerveceria Hondureña, whose shares Barry Bowen bought out in 1981. The group now spans brewing, soft drinks, imports and distribution, aquaculture, agro-industry, power generation, security, restaurants and retail. Its Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, Schweppes, Powerade, Minute Maid and Fuze volumes are produced under franchise from The Coca-Cola Company, and Guinness Foreign Extra Stout has been brewed under licence since 1989: none of those names belongs to Bowen.
