The makers of Belikin Beer have announced a temporary disruption in the supply of their bottled products due to unexpected power outages that have impacted production facilities.
Bowen and Bowen said in a statement that the recent power disruptions caused significant strain on the company’s power systems. The company said that while backup generators were in place, the sudden and severe nature of the outages led to equipment failures, particularly affecting the production line responsible for bottling beer in glass.
“The main impact has been on Line 2, which produces our beer in glass bottles. As a result, there will be temporary disruptions in the supply of Belikin Beer and Belikin Stout in glass bottles.” Technical teams are actively working to repair the affected systems and restore full production.
A nationwide power outage in Belize on Monday night left most residents without electricity for nearly an hour. The blackout was caused by a generation emergency in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, prompting Belize’s main power supplier, Comisión Federal de Electricidad, to cut service. Belize Electricity Limited (B.E.L.) responded by activating local generation sources and fully restored power by 12:47 a.m.
