Nice small brewery tour. - We did this tour from our cruise to St. Maarten. It is a small brewery that crafts some really great beer (and I am not a big beer drinker). Simran told the story of how the company came about, while pouring full glasses of beer for us. She was such a good storyteller!! We were able to pour some for ourselves right from the tap of one of the vats. After, we were taken to the Dutch Blonde Beach Bar, owned by the same person, There we met the man himself, the owner, Sunil. He was so nice and hospitable. We ordered fish and chicken tacos and rum runners. The food and drink was so good and he finished off his story for us. We had a great time and highly recommend!!

Wide variety of beers - Excellent 👍 Thank you Simran so much for the private tour. All the different beers were interesting including the mixed tropical drink. To be able to pour from one of the finished batches was nice. Your storytelling about the history of this brewery was very well done. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys beer.🍺

Well Worth A Visit - Excellent experience! This may be a small brewery but the beer was great and plentiful and our host and guide, Simran, was full of information about the history of the place and the various beers they produce. I would highly recommend this tour.

Brilliant highly recommend - Done the tour today. When we first arrived on the bus our first reaction was hmmmm. But we have never been so wrong Simran was amazing telling us the story of the business while plying us with the different types of beers they make. Then off to meet the man himself. An amazing day out thoroughly enjoyed it.

Private Beer tasting and tour - awesome - Had some confusion about the time of our tour. Viator info said between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. In reality we were supposed to be at the brewery at 10:30. We discovered this after going to the brewery restraunt Dutch Blond beach bar on the front street in St Martin. Spoke to Samil the owner of the restraunt annd brewery after our lunch at the restraunt. Samil gave us a ride over to the brewery in his personal vehicle. He phoned the brewery and arranged to have his sister Simran give us a private tour and beer tasting. This was incredibly generous of him as we felt the time mix up was at least partially our fault. Simran did a great job telling us the story of the brewery and Dutch Blond beach bar. She was a wonderful host and gave us a ride back to our cruise ship afterwards.

A Tour Experience I Will Never Forget ... Ever - We have all had those conversations where you would sit with a long time friend and share your life experiences, preferably over multiple beers :) Well I left the tour thinking that Sunil was our (my wife and I) long time friend. And I only met the guy this week when he took us on the brewery tour! Should I truly call this a tour? Well it has all of the elements and it is an excellent tour, but it is sooo much more. Sunil fearlessly shared the ups and downs that lead to the establishment of the brewery as well as his restaurant. It was a captivating story, shared over the range of his beer offering. We were asking questions, having discussions, and sharing our own stories with him. This was an unforgettable tour experience with lots of beer drinking!
And I would like to add another crucial point. My wife and I went in the very low low season and we were the only two people on the tour. The tour usual has 20 - 30 people. Sunil could have said that the group number was too low, which is what I would have said! But not him. He did not want to let us down and that's the type of person he is.
I learned about beer making, about business, about marriage, about coincidences, about ups and downs. We will never forget this experience, neither will we forget Sunil. Do not miss this tour when you get to St. Maarten. DO NOT!

Brews, Views & Beach - Our visit was through a Royal Caribbean excursion named Brews, Views and Beach. It was fantastic! Our tour guide, Simran, was an amazing storyteller as she shared how the brewery came to be and the owner, Sunil's story. You should know that this is not a beer tasting; it is a beer drinking! I'm talking pint mugs of each beer they brew and more if you want. My favorite was their lightest beer, the San Martin Premium. I'm somewhat of a beer wimp, but others in our group also touted the darker beers as being great. After our time at the brewery, our bus delivered us to the Dutch Blonde Beach Bar, which is also owned by Sunil. That man is hardworking! Simran is too! She was hired as an accountant, but you would not know that because she can do it all! Sunil was buzzing about waiting on tables, but took the time to come and sit with us and talk to us about his businesses. And, he also took our orders. :) I had nachos, half beef and half chicken. Do you know anywhere else where they'll split the nacho plate so you can have both?! So yummy! Most in our group got the tacos and said they were delicious also. The Dutch Blonde Beach Bar is right across from the beach and near the cruise port. Our excursion included a couple of chairs and an umbrella, but the beautiful Caribbean water was calling. We stayed as long as we could and then reluctantly took the water taxi back to our ship. This excursion is a must! Enjoy!
Sunil and Simran, thank you both for being so warm and welcoming! Look forward to seeing you again one day!

Nice local craft Brewery with excellent beers - The tour was very nice. Simran shared the story of this local brewery and we got to try their beers which were very good. The Dutch Blonde Ale in particular was a fantastic beer. Also as an IPA fan, their IPA was very different and good. Overall, everyone was very accommodating and we enjoyed our time. They also operate a restaurant in Phillips urge called Dutch Blonde Beach Bar & Restauran.

A must while in St. Maarten - What an absolutely amazing tour. We were a few minutes early and were welcomed like family. Many places we have toured would have made us wait until the scheduled time. Sunil and Simran just sat and talked with us like old friends
The stories on how the brewery came into existence were mixed in with the actual beer tasting. Everything we tasted was great. We were sad to have the tour end as we had such a wonderful time.
If you do one tour on the island, do this one.

Entertaining! - We really enjoyed our visit to the brewery. The actual tour of the facility was reasonably brief because all the brewing equipment is pretty much in one room, but it was interesting and we got to pour our own beer from one of the vats.
Simran, our host, was amazing. She told the history of the brewery as a story, dealt calmly and attentively with everyone's needs, and provided as much of the 4 beers the brewery currently makes as we wanted.
Well worth the walk up from the cruise terminal. I would heartily recommend it.
