| Piton Lager (7.3/10) | |||
| Derek |  |
9 | This is a St Lucian beer that I found on my honeymoon. Actually it's not really hard to find - it's everywhere in St Lucia. Piton Lager is named after the Piton Mountains - the famous island landmark. My high rating is probably mostly due to the fact that I was drinking it in the southern caribbean... But you'd rate it high if you got to drink it in out of the tap laying on a beach in St Lucia too. If I ever see a Piton anywhere, I would reach for that beer far before anything else simply for the memories and its rarity. For reference... I heard other people on the island say it reminds them of Heineken, others said corona and even ordered it with a lime. |

6.5 | This beer was very tropical, it would have been a 10 if I had drank it in St. Lucia. |

6.5 | This was a pretty good beer that derek was thoughtful enough to bring back from his honeymoon for me and r00 to try <3...i really wanted to like it more, i'm just not a lager fan generally, and sitting in derek's kitchen was not the optimal place to enjoy this beer... |

8.5 | I've been to St. Lucia twice, and this beer was an important part of the experience each time. A friend brought me one that I am enjoying this moment. It's like a memory in a bottle. St Lucia is an excellent travel destination. They also brew Guiness and Heinekin on the island. Beer was under $2 a bottle in the bar. It is also ok to drink in public and as a passenger in a car. I enjoyed St Lucia and recommend it as the best place to enjoy Piton. |

9 | Awesome beer, I love Piton, I was curious is you knew, if anyone or how I can get some in the states, I have been looking but have had no luck, thanks and I hope you can help |
| David 01-30-2006 10:39 pm |
9 | it was an important part of my honeymoon, too. As such, any suggestions how to get it living in the states? email me if you have any thoughts. |
| Dave 02-12-2006 2:13 pm |
9 | Loved the beer, loved St. Lucia. I would love too get some in the States. some of the locals heard it was going to be imported soon. I'll keep you posted if I find any |
| Dave S 05-17-2006 8:58 pm |
9 | I also loved Piton beer. I agree, it does have to do with being in St. Lucia but who cares. It was very close to a corona but better and without the aftertaste! |
| Bill Watson 06-24-2006 10:04 pm |
8 | tried the Piton while in St Lucia June 06...I noticed on the back of the label, it said it was a lager & pilsner...how could this be? A blend of the two? It was very good. |
| patrick f 07-8-2006 1:22 am |
9.5 | perfect beer! well balanced no after taste. cant find it any where. probably will just have to go back to st. lucia |

My husband loved Piton beer. We went there on our Honeymoon. Is there anyway I can get any here in the states or buy it there and have it shipped for him? | |
| Ann 08-1-2006 6:30 pm |
9 | When I arrived In St.Lucia My friend greeted me at the airport with a few ice cold Piton beer. Piton's beer is like St. Lucia "Simply Beautiful" |
| Ann 08-1-2006 6:32 pm |
9 | Where can I buy it here in New York? Please Help! |
| Amo 08-19-2006 1:56 am |
9 | I had Piton on my honeymmon 2 years ago. The steward who cleaned my room on the cruise stole my extra beer! I REALLY would like a bottle of brew...or a sign for my bar. Other wise, it will be a couple grand for my return trip. Please help! |
| Cy 08-26-2006 2:44 am |
9.5 | Graet tasting beer i would love to get it in the states. Does anyone know if you can get it here yet? I have been told by some distribution places here in florida that I need is the upc cod on the box and he could get it for me, but I threw away the ones I had brought back with me |
| Linda 08-27-2006 7:43 pm |

9.5 | On my first day in St. Lucia While waiting for my friend to shop a stranger offered me one It was one of the best beers i've had Drank them the whole 10 days I was there. Wish they sold it in the states. |
| Bryan 10-16-2006 3:26 pm |
9 | It's a wonderful beer....and guess what...it's now in a can! You can find out more from http://www.pitonbeerstlucia.com |
| Scott 10-23-2006 2:26 pm |
8 | Bottled Piton Lager Beer is 5x better then the draft verison we had at the resort we where staying at. You have to like lagers to appricate this beer to its fullest. |
| Kevin F 10-29-2006 12:39 am |
9 | Piton would be a good beer anywhere, but it was a great beer my wife and I found while on our honeymoon. Wish it were sold in Michigan. Guess I'll have to go back! |
| dee 12-21-2006 1:04 pm |
9 | has anyone been able to locate this beer anywhere in the U.S. My husband absolutely loved it when we were on our honeymoon. i think it would make for a great surprise if I could locate it. |
| Emma Booth 01-7-2007 8:27 pm |
9 | Me and my husband drank this beer on our honeymoon whilst in St Lucia this is the best beer i have ever tasted and we are desperate to know how we can get hold of the same. I live in the UK if anyone knows how to get please let me know. |
| Sindewald 01-15-2007 11:19 pm |
9.5 | My husband and I had this beer as we were laying on a sunny St. Lucia beach. It's better than any beer we had in Chicago or maybe it was the weather. Can we get this stuff up here? |
| PGHKID 01-26-2007 2:38 am |
9 | I, like everyone else above, discovered the greatest beer ever on my honeymoon (last week) and am now desperately searching for it in Pittsburgh... |
| Jerry 02-22-2007 9:29 pm |
9 | The manufacturers are currently working feverishly to get this brew into the US market. It's even available in a can now, with appropriate health warnings and so forth, They should have a break through very soon. |
| Joseph 02-22-2007 11:04 pm |
9 | Having spent 16 months in Saint Lucia as a medical student, I can still remember those Friday evenings after a long week of classes, walking home and knowing you were going to get at least one night off to relax with your friends and drink those marvelous Pitons. I still have so many wonderful souvenirs of that tropical beer including 2 full bottles, beach towel, actual Piton drinking glasses, T shirts, and even a Piton ashtray. Those were great days... |
| dave treadwell 02-26-2007 3:30 pm |
9 | i got married in st lucia and it is the best beer i have ever tasted i bought two bottlre back with me i would love to be able to get hold of it in england . if any one knows how please let me know |
| Mookie 02-27-2007 12:53 pm |
8 | Please let me know if Piton is for sale anywhere on-line or in Stores in The NY area ! |
| wes declement 03-4-2007 10:58 am |
9 | the beer is unreal, and it also helped that my honeymoon there was beautiful. i would love to get some more in the states does anyone know how!!!! |
| Ian Bell 03-21-2007 10:48 pm |
8 | On the basis that an 8 out of 10 is a very rare and excellent mark to award, I would award Piton beer an 8 out of 10. Even after a heavy defeat in a cricket match to a mediocre antipodean side, this beer will restore your 'bounce' and make you think you can 'walk on water' - not literally though! |
| Scott 03-23-2007 4:38 pm |
9.5 | Who knew so many people honeymooned in St. Lucia? The taxi stopped on the long ride south to our Jalousie resort and the cabbie popped one of these into my hands. One drink and I was sold. May be the best beer I've ever had. I want more, lemme know if it ever becomes available in the US. |
| Mark 03-28-2007 4:29 am |
9 | I brought a six-pack of Piton back in my luggage, along with a bottle of guavaberry rum from St Maarten. One of these evenings, we'll sip rum and Piton and remember those fantastic islands. |
| Ed 03-28-2007 7:42 pm |
9 | One island Big dreams 6 mates and a bedwetter Lots of Piton Piton don't do holidays but if they did it would be at the cricket world cup 07. Piton lager I salute you |
| Edd 03-29-2007 8:36 am |
9 | I went to St Lucia with 5 friends and the Donk... everywhere we went the first utterance would be: '6 pitons please and a fruit based cocktail for the lady'... The best beer in the world. Ever. Also known as 'Pedalo juice' |
| dw 04-3-2007 8:12 pm |
9 | I am married to a guy that when we met didn't even like beer...I got him liking Corona w/lime and now after Piton, he would drink it every chance he got! Unfortunatly we didn't bring any back home and are totally craving it!!! It is hands-down the best beer EVER!!! Can't wait for it to be available here! |
| Pete 04-6-2007 7:36 am |
9.5 | Like apparently, everyone else, I enjoyed Piton on my honeymoon and found it to be an extremely satisfying beer ... especially in the morning. :) I've ended up with a fair amount of Piton merchandise as a result, although no one will get it unless they've been to St. Lucia, I suspect. |
| Margaret 05-17-2007 5:34 pm |
9.5 | While in St. Lucia, I was told that you can get Piton somewhere in the Bronx. Doese anyone know if there's any truth to that? |
| John Hamblin 05-19-2007 12:29 am |
9 | love it now, can I have some at home in maryland ? Really liked the piton shandy too I would love to have that stuff around in the summer...... |
| veronica 06-15-2007 7:14 pm |
9 | Light and refreshing. I wish they would sell it in the states... |

9 | Environment, experience, quality, the steady diet of......Yep! It would be very nice to have a case or three hundred of the mighty Piton Lager. |
| sam 06-30-2007 4:01 pm |
9.5 | can I get this in the UK? just had my 1st and only bottle. |
| Mo 07-23-2007 3:00 pm |
9 | quality stuff. for those in the uk i have heard of a strong rumour of a St Lucian owned pub somewhere in the Hackney (E.London) area... tic toc |
| Matt Kench 08-3-2007 10:24 pm |

9.5 | I discovered this beer while vacationing in Tortola. It was great. I've been trying to locate it at home (Massachusetts) but can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know where I could get my hands on some? |
| Kim 09-9-2007 7:07 pm |
9.5 | I agree with Derek at the top of the page. This beer was fantastic but the best part was that I was drinking it in St. Lucia, on the beach, on my honeymoon. Nothing could have been better. Oh yea and it was all included in the price of the honeymoon so I could have 1 or 101 it didn't matter. I think one day I might have gotten close to 101. I wish they sold it in the US. Drinking it would bring back some fantastic memories! If anyone ever finds a place that sells it on the east coast, please let us know! |
| Kim 09-10-2007 12:55 am |
9.5 | I left something out of my last note. My husband and I took four bottles of Piton from St. Lucia back to NY (Long Island). We each had one when we first got back to NY and then waited ONE YEAR to have the other two. We waited unitl our one year anniversary to have the other two. We kept them cold the WHOLE year, ever when we moved apartments. We had a cooler when we moved just to keep it cold. Then on our i year anniversary we had our cake (from the wedding) and our two Pitons. Although they were slightly skunked, they still tasted AWESOME and the memories were worth the year of longing for the beer. Again, if anyone knows where we can get Pitons in NY or in NC please let me know ([email protected]). THANKS! |

9 | Hey, Bernie! Where did you buy Piton in Tortola? We're heading down that way later this year and want to buy it for our sailing adventure! Thanks! |
| Tim 10-11-2007 11:01 pm |
9 | Just came back from St. Lucia last week for my honeymoon. Piton-I think of the friendly people, banana trees, coconut trees, Sandals Grande, beautiful mountains, crystal clear water, powerful sun, tropical climate, white puffy clouds...all that in a bottle of beer...doesn't get any better than that! |
| Mike 10-17-2007 11:37 am |
9.5 | Went to St.Lucia with Wife and friends recently... first night there we ordered dinner and decided to get "2 Shirley Temples, 2 margies, 2 beers, uh Heiniken, please" Waitress returned with Pitons and a smile...she knew the Piton's were much better and of course she was right. I have contacted Windward & Leeward Brewery Ltd., waiting to hear back from them on how to procure some more Pito in ATL area. |
| Steve 10-19-2007 10:31 pm |
9 | Had Piton beer for the first time on our honeymoon in St. Lucia, it is a great beer. I along with many of you would like to find it in the states. Like they say, "No Pressure, No Problem Mon!" |
| DAVE 10-28-2007 10:48 pm |
9 | out of a can is horrible. out of a bottle is better and out of a tap is one of the best beers ive tasted. will be keeping an eye out for it in brittain! |
| Nolan 11-10-2007 6:20 pm |
9 | It has been 10 years since I went to St. Lucia on my honeymoon and I can remember the Piton beer just like it was yesterday. I have been looking ever since for some where in the US to buy it. For the taste and the memories!!! |
| Brad 11-14-2007 4:17 pm |
9 | This is all my wife and I drank while on our Honeymoon. Please tell me there is a way to get this in the states!!! |
| Christian 12-7-2007 5:17 pm |
9 | As many of the reviewers have noted, I think the 'essence' of Piton goes beyond the taste and body of the beer, and extends to the setting in which would enjoy a Piton.. I've done my research and you can not buy Piton anywhere in the States.. I did that research upon returning from Anse Chastanet on the SW coast of STL in the summer of 2006.. That may no longer be true. My wife and I expected a week of knocking back Red Stripe and Carib(e?) on our honeymoon. Curious upon seeing a bottle of Piton in our first trip to the bar at Anse Chastanet, we knocked back the local brew and decided to never turn back for the remainder of our trip.. Cool, crisp, with a light-bodied flavor of any golden pilsner (I don't know if it is technichally a Pilsner, it did remind me of one though!), Piton is a great beer to indulge in when visiting STL. My wife and I must've knocked back 6-10 per day each the entire week we were there.. May I suggest to anyone who takes a liking to Piton, since you won't be finding it stateside, fill up an empty bottle with beautiful black volcanic sand for a memento of STL and their fine native beer.. |
| shawn 12-12-2007 5:22 am |
9 | I just returned home from my second trip to St. Lucia. We went for our honeymoon and I fell in love with Piton. When the wife mentioned returning for our second anniversary I was more than willing just for the piton beer. I'm now trying to persuade her into one more anniversary in St. Lucia for the Piton. She's worried I may just trade her to a local for a keg of piton to bring home |
| Steve 01-8-2008 9:35 pm |
9 | The only reason to go all-inclusive! |
| Tam 02-2-2008 2:10 am |
9 | We came back from STL two weeks ago with a six pack of Piton in our luggage. One bottle left and the empties are on top of the fridge in the Piton carton. Now if that is not torture I don't know what is? Anyone notice the bottles are smaller than a US beer? Maybe that is why you can guzzle 5-10 a day and have the flavor last. Someone should import this beer to the states. There is a fortune to be made. Going back to STL for our honeymoon in June or maybe it's for the Piton. True Love. |

9 | The best beer in the world!!!!!!! I taught at Sir Arthur Lewis Community College for six months and discovered Piton. I think that the company should export the brew to Brooklyn where there is a large St. Lucian community. I would drive to Brooklyn weekly for a supply. |

9 | Piton is amazing, wish we could find it in the UK! Been to St.Lucia twice now and can't wait to go back. Did anyone else try the Piton Shandy? I was a little the worse for wear one morning and tried it (I think there are two flavours) and the lemon one is so refreshing and delicious. Hardly alcoholic as well, I could drink it all day! :o) |

Only wish I could get it here in Florida. I also have to tell you about a local reggae artist named Zionomi...His hit "Being Just a Friend" will keep my memories of St. Lucia glowing.

9 | Been to St. Lucia a dozen times or more and generally only drink when I'm there. Switched from Heine when Piton debuted in the '90s. Have a few cans in the 'fridge now, brought up by a friend who visited last May. Very flavorful and refreshing. |

9.5 | I recently visited St. Lucia and had a few Piton beers. I am not a beer drinker, but Piton made me change my mind about beer. I couldn't get enough, and even wound up buying a 6-pack at the duty free shop on my way back to the States. |

| Mark McGuffee 06-12-2011 6:32 pm |
9 | Great island beer. Just got back from St. Lucia yesterday. Cannot fid piton anywhere in US. They didn't have any a t the duty free shop. It is the best island beer that i've tasted. If anyone knows how to get to the states please let me know. Thanks. |
| Rick Fritcher 06-25-2011 9:19 am |
7.5 | I thoroughly enjoyed it on the island when We were there in 2010. I think a lot of it was atmosphere. Being on an Island in the Caribbean and soaking in the sun helped make it great. It's made by the Heineken Beer Company. So I guess I'll have one of them. Great trip though. |
