Banks (Barbados) Breweries Ltd. is a Caribbean brewery founded in 1961 in St. Michael, Barbados. The company's main brand, the Banks Beer brand is also the flagship product of the wider Banks Holdings Limited. ("BHL Group") which owns the Banks (Barbados) Breweries Ltd. company. ==Brief details== Banks Beer was started as an idea formed by Peter D'Aguiar, a Guyanese entrepreneur. On September 7, 1961 Banks (Barbados) Breweries opened for business. At the beginning the company only produced Banks Beer but by 1963 the company added two other products to its portfolio: Milk Stout and Tiger Malt. The latter of which can be found on grocery store shelves in the Caribbean, South America, Asia, Canada, Europe and the United States. Banks first began exporting in 1968. The first two countries it exported to were nearby, St Vincent and Dominica. Banks beer received its first International Award, from the Lager Beer Competition in England in 1971. The company would continue to win awards through the years. The company joined with a separate Banks beer company in Guyana, Banks DIH, in 2005, with the intention of exporting the brand as one company abroad, beginning with the United States.〔Hoyos, Pat.
