Belize Brewing Company, which is part of the Bowen and Bowen group, is reporting tonight, that for the first time, the company has a female brewer.
She's Carina Cal, a young Belizean from Orange Walk. She is a graduate of Muffles College and the University of Belize where she double-majored in Chemistry and Biology.
She joined Belize Brewing Company in 2015 at the age of 18 as a Junior Lab Technician. Over the next few years, she was promoted to Senior Lab Technician and then Microbiology Lab Supervisor. Based on her performance in the Lab, in 2021, Carina was offered the opportunity to train as a brewer, and she immediately accepted. With the advantage of her lab experience and after some intense training with master brewers, Carina learned the brewing process from start to end.
She is now Junior Head Brewer, and she is responsible for BBCo's pilot brews and the Two-5 craft brews, which are growing in popularity around the country. Carina's training continues as she explores new beer flavors and styles and learns more about the creative process. She intends to continue her educational development in the hopes of becoming the company's Brew Master.
