Dutch Blonde Experiences

Dutch Blonde was born in early 2019 when St. Maarten’s Caribbean Brewing Company started with the production

of local St. Maarten beer. The company has continued to pride itself on its consistency, palatability and variety. Their beers are made fresh with the finest malts, hops and natural ingredients; they’re also organic, unfiltered, unpasteurized and don’t contain any corn syrup or preservatives. They offer a unique brewery tour that gets you up close and personal with the entire beer-making process. In the taproom, you can sample the various flavors. Take a video and make all your friends jealous by drinking straight out of the fermentation tank!

As one of the most popular beers they brew, Dutch Blonde received the 2021 London Beer Competition Silver Medal. The jury described it as, “Fruity and spicy with honey, orange and clove flavors … Overall very complex and refreshing.”

Proudly named after this “lady,” Dutch Blonde Beach Bar, located on the Boardwalk in Philipsburg, is the newest hot spot, offering a great variety of entertainment and true goodies. You can have a great time enjoying the best beers, cocktails, wines and creative mixes like their Naughty Blonde. Many gather on Friday evenings for karaoke or come to play (giant) Jenga. Once a week you can take part in a wine tasting paired with Dutch cheeses and snacks. And every day of the week, you can eat your heart out enjoying their special Dutch pancakes and poffertjes, among other delicious dishes and snacks.

At the Dutch Blonde Beach Bar, you will find the Caribbean’s premier escape rooms. Experience this exciting real-life adventure game in one of four settings. Discover clues, solve puzzles and complete tasks in order to accomplish your goal and escape the room.
