About Caribe Brewery

In the 1880s, the British introduced beer to the Caribbean islands. Nearly 70 years later the region began to produce beer under the entrepreneurship of Sir Gerald Wight. After World War 2, Caribbean Development Company Limited successfully made a tremendous economic impact on the local communities.

Once where only sugar and oil were the main staples of the industry, now there was a new industry. CDC developed many great brands, including Carib Beer, which is world-renowned for its imagery of Caribbean’s blue waters and year-round sunshine.

In July 2016, one of the more renowned companies ANSA McAL group of companies based in Trinidad and Tobago acquired Indian River Beverage Corporation, which operates under the name Florida Beer Company. ANSA McAL is also the parent company of CDC, and there formed a marriage of local brewing in Florida with international recognition with the Carib beer brand.

In 2021, Florida Beer Company changed its name to Carib Brewery USA, reflecting the brand’s international success and reinforcing the strong brand equity. Moving forward, Carib Brewery USA embraces the local charm and feel of the Space Coast, Cape Canaveral, Florida and will continue to produce high-quality brews with the finest ingredients and craftsmanship.

Carib Brewery USA is entrenched in the involvement and betterment of the local community, and contribute in a number of ways to the arts, sports, and culture in the local community.

BREVARD COUNTY • FLORIDA – If you are looking for a local craving quencher when exploring the Space Coast, look no further than Mystic Lobster Roll Company, now at two locations across Brevard County.

Mystic Lobster, with locations in Cocoa and Cape Canaveral, offers traditional lobster rolls that are made without the fillers found in chain restaurants. 

• 8799 Astronaut Blvd, Cape Canaveral
• 109 Brevard Ave, Cocoa

Mystic Lobster Roll Company offers a wide variety of seafood dishes and signature lobster rolls.

Entrees include classics such as fish and chips, chicken tenders, lobster mac and cheese, snow crab, shrimp platters, and stuffed lobster tails, with prices ranging from the mid-$20s to just under $50 for premium lobster tails.

The highlight of the menu is its lobster roll selection, featuring styles from Maine, Connecticut, New England, and New Orleans, as well as creative options like the “OMG Roll,” Caribbean Roll, Nashville Heat, and even deep-fried lobster rolls. Most rolls are priced between $25 and $30.

A kids’ menu features mac and cheese, chicken fingers, and fried shrimp, while desserts include crème brûlée doughnuts, Boston cream pie, and boardwalk-style cookies.

Seasonal and specialty additions, such as the upcoming Alaskan King Crab Roll, continue to expand the offerings, giving guests a mix of traditional New England fare and modern twists.

Mystic Lobster Features Rich History

Mystic Lobster Roll Company’s story began nearly three decades ago when a 21-year-old minor league baseball player turned his focus from the field to the kitchen.

While working in restaurants to make ends meet, he developed a passion for the culinary world. When his baseball career came to an end, he carried his love of sports into a new arena: restaurant life.

In those early years, he worked alongside some of the industry’s most talented chefs, including a Michelin-starred mentor who left a lasting impression on his approach to food.

During the summer of 1993, his journey took him up and down the northeastern coast, from Connecticut to Maine, where he experienced lobster rolls that set the standard for what would become his signature dish.

Over the next 25 years, he built his career in the restaurant industry, running high-profile establishments and even owning a few of his own. Lobster rolls often found a place on his menus.

Still, the moment to create a dedicated concept never quite arrived—until February 2020, when Ship Bottom, New Jersey, became the home of Mystic Lobster Roll Company.

From the very beginning, the response was overwhelming. What started as one location quickly grew into four, driven by a commitment to serving authentic Maine-style lobster rolls. Only the freshest cold-water lobster meat from Maine is used, ensuring every bite captures the flavor and tradition of New England’s coastal cuisine.

The company’s mission is simple: to share the experience of a true Maine lobster roll with as many people as possible. With each new guest, Mystic Lobster Roll Company continues to build not just a customer base, but a family bound together by a love for exceptional seafood and a passion for perfection.
