Turk's Head Brewery
52 Industrial Drive, Discovery Bay, Providenciales
The Turk’s Head Brewery is the Turks and Caicos Islands' first and (to this day) only proper brewery, and began formal operations in 2001. Located in central Providenciales, this impressive facility currently produces five core varieties of beer and lager: I-Soon-Reach (light lager), I-Ain-Ga-Lie (lager), Down-Da-Road (IPA), Gon-Ta-Nort (amber ale), and Gone-Ta-Sout (stout).
Factory tours are offered six days per week and include samples of their top-selling beers and a tour of the brewing, bottling, and canning areas. The facility also has an onsite restaurant, The Taproom, that serves Turk's Head beer on draft and pizzas, sandwiches, and tacos.
As the only beer made in the Turks and Caicos, Turk’s Head can be found at nearly all bars, restaurants, and hotels in the country. Many of their specialty brews, however—like tripels and märzens—can only be found at their brewpub. The facility also produces spirits and a variety of other canned alcoholic beverages, including a Cuba libre (rum and coke), hard seltzer, and vodka cranberry drink. Their logo of a Turk’s Head Cactus incorporates one of the national symbols.
Factory Tours
Tours are offered six days a week, Monday through Saturday at 12 PM. It's best to call beforehand to ensure availability and reserve your spot. Tours take you on a catwalk over the Brewery Hall and culminate at The Taproom, where visitors can sample different beers and order food. Guided tours are around 30 minutes excluding a final stop in The Taproom and gift shop.
The Taproom
The brewery's brewpub overlooks the canning plant and has both indoor air-conditioned and outdoor open-air seating. In addition to beer, they serve a range of cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks. The Neapolitan-style pizza makes a great pairing with the drinks, and service is typically quick. Flights of the brewery's most popular beers are served here as part of the factory tour.
Gift Shop
A range of shirts, can and bottle koozies, drinkware, trinkets, and other souvenirs are available for purchase in the gift shop.
Cash and credit cards are accepted.
Best Beer Prices on Island
TC Crystal Water and the Turk’s Head Brewery are located at the same site at Discovery Bay in Providenciales, and bottled drinking water (small bottles, gallon bottles, and 5-gallon water cooler jugs) and cases of beer can be bought at the onsite shop in front of the brewery. The 24-bottle case of Turk's Head sold here is the cheapest price for beer on the island, and typically sells for around $10 less per case than anywhere else.
Finding the Brewery
The Turk’s Head Brewery is located at the TC Crystal Water building on the main paved bypass road between Leeward Highway and South Dock Road. This bypass road is Industrial Drive, yet is incorrectly referred to on some maps as part of South Dock Road.
This general area is the interior Discovery Bay region of Providenciales.
When driving from Grace Bay, take the first exit left on the CIBC Roundabout (the one after the large Do It Best building center and before CIBC Caribbean). Continue for 1,000 feet (300 m), and TC Crystal and the Turk’s Head Brewery will be on your left. Two giant model beer cans mark the entrance to the parking lot.
Located in Discovery Bay
Discovery Bay is found between the Cooper Jack Bay and the Five Cays areas of Providenciales, and supports a community of mixed, light industrial-use businesses and services, homes, and low-density apartments. The southern sections of this region can offer scenic views over Cheshire Hall Creek and the distant Caicos Banks.
