Belikin beer is the national beer of Belize and the "only beer worth drinking" says the Belize Brewing Company which produces the beer.

The company has been brewing Belikin Beer and Belikin Stout since 1971 and its tagline is "the beer of Belize".

The name "Belikin" comes from the Maya language and means "Road to the East" and is a term which some people have suggested is the origin of the name of Belize even though the most accepted derivation says the name comes from the Belize River.

The label of the beer features the Maya site of Altun Ha which is located 31 miles north of Belize City on the Old Northern Highway.
