Okay maybe someone can help with this question. Sorry if it is too far off topic...but it is a beer topic, nonetheless.

My brother is a brewer. He would like to come to Belize and set up a microbrew and sell his wares out of a storefront bar.

In June when I was in Belize, I nosed around a bit and was told that Sir Barry had a monopoly on beer manufacture, and that some time ago he had legislation introduced such that he is the sole allowable manufacturer of beer.

Is this a yarn? even plausible? or can a micro brewery actually be a legal establishment in Belize?

Thanks for the anticipated replies.
