Carib Brewery hosted an Ambassador Meet and Greet in Lucknow, India, on April 24 with brand ambassadors Nicholas Pooran and Dwayne Bravo during the 2026 Indian Premier League season.
The event was held at the Hilton Garden Inn in Lucknow and brought together partners, stakeholders, influencers and members of the media. According to CARIB Brewery, the event included interviews, a question-and-answer session, a photo-signing station and lunch for invited guests.
Both Trinidad and Tobago cricketers were in India as part of the IPL season and represented Trinidad and Tobago in cricket and business activities at the same time.
Carib Premium Strong Beer entered the Indian market in 2025 through Globus ANSA Private Limited, a joint venture between ANSA McAL Limited and Globus Spirits Limited. The product is available in Uttar Pradesh.
Managing Director of International and Business Development at Carib Brewery Adrian Sabga said the launch in India marked a major step for the company.
“We are a global brand, and India proves it,” Sabga said.
Head of Brand Marketing at Carib Brewery Antron Forte said the company’s partnership with Pooran and Bravo reflected the company’s focus on cricket and Carnival as part of its strategy.
Business Head at Globus Spirits Rajesh Fanda said the initiative connected Caribbean and Indian cultures through cricket and the beverage industry.
Carib Brewery said Carib Beer was first brewed in Trinidad and Tobago in 1950 and is now distributed in more than 33 countries. The company operates breweries in Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, and the United States.
The press kit stated that ANSA McAL invested $200 million in a production line at Champs Fleurs in 2024 to increase export capacity.
According to the company, Carib Premium Strong Beer went on sale in Uttar Pradesh in May 2025 and is produced locally through Globus ANSA Private Limited. Expansion into other Indian states is planned.
Pooran and Bravo were signed as Carib ambassadors in August 2025 at the Champs Fleurs brewery. The Lucknow event was described in the press kit as the partnership’s most visible appearance to date.
