No Angler Left Thirsty With Belikin’s Support of Sportfishing in Belize
Every time you leave the house to fish, you’ll likely go through a mental checklist of everything you need—like most of us. Rod, lures, tackle box, a hat, sunglasses. The works. One thing that often makes the list is a couple of brews. In Belize, our beer of choice is Belikin. For over 5 decades, Belikin has been brewed by Belizeans for Belizeans, to the point where "beer" and "Belikin" became synonymous. Along the way, the brewing pioneer joins us as our partner and primary sponsor of the Annual Belikin Blue Water Classic Fishing Tournament, continuing the brand’s long-standing support of sports, entertainment, and communities of Belize.
As Belikin’s classic European lager goes toe-to-toe with the best brews in international standards, we at the Belize Game Fish Association hope to follow in our own league—hosting world-class fishing tournaments, made possible by the support of our sponsors like the Belize Brewing Company.
Celebrating Fifty Years And Counting
Brewing since 1969; Supporting since 1987.
“Belikin Beer is delighted to support the BGFA with its annual offshore saltwater fishing tournament, The Blue Water Classic, and promoting the sport of fishing throughout Belize since 1987,” a rep shares.
Commenting on the success of their fifty years and counting, a Belikin rep shares, “Nоnе оf thіѕ wоuld bе роѕѕіblе wіthоut thе hаrd wоrk оf thоuѕаndѕ оf Веlіzеаnѕ оvеr thе уеаrѕ, оr thе аvіd ѕuрроrt оf thе реорlе оf Веlіzе.” A symbol of Belizean heritage, from campaigns like “Onli In Belize” to the Maya ruin depicted on their iconic glass bottle, Belikin’s values of corporate social responsibility especially translate to supporting Belizean communities altogether. After all, we’d argue that a shared Belikin can represent a celebration, our sense of togetherness, and even comforting familiarity during challenging times. We’d further that argument and say all of the above can be found onboard with your crew, spending hours trolling for a spirited catch-and-release fight.
At the Belize Game Fish Association, we’re proud to be an association of fishermen and fisherwomen in Belize as a registered Non-Profit Corporation with 100+ conservation-minded members. So not only does Belikin’s funding as the BGFA’s primary sponsor keep sport fisherfolk vying for prize money in 2024, but allows visibility and vital support to the BGFA’s vision and mission. In fact, the Belize Game Fish Association is considered a leader in best practices in sportfishing, collaborating with the conservation community and government to ensure the stability of our marine resources.
As a key corporate citizen in Belize, we are proud to have Belikin as our official partner and main sponsor.
“For over half a century – Belikin is The Beer of Belize.” It’s also the beer of the 15th Annual Belikin Blue Water Classic. The Belize Game Fish Association thanks the Belize Brewing Company for making our fishing tournament possible!
