How hard is it to get ingredients?
Hey Thanks. Well is not as hard as it is expensive. There is no ingredient supply here, so I mostly buy them in the States over the internet. With shipping costs and import taxes it gets expensive very fast. But still we are doing it (for the love of beer). There a few of us who have been homebrewing for a while now and even trying to go commercial given there is no competition in the market for craft beer except for the macros. And people are getting really thirsty for craftbeer down here. I've actually registered my future brewery as in planning both in the country and the brewers assosiation.
It's called Coral Reef Brewing Co. hoping some time next year we will be operating. Right now we are brewing for festivals and events, etc.
