Belikin is the leading domestically produced beer in Belize.

Belikin is brewed by the Belize Brewing Company, Ltd. which is owned by the Bowen family. The Belikin beer brand name was first marketed (according to differing sources) in the late 1960s or in 1971.


The name "Belikin" is from the Maya language meaning "Road to the East". This is a term which some have suggested is the origin of the name of "Belize" (although the most accepted derivation says the name comes from the Belize River, meaning "muddy"). The Belikin label features a drawing of a Pre-Columbian Maya temple-pyramid at Altun Ha.


The most common Belikin is a light lager beer. Belikin also makes a stout beer.


The brewery is based in Ladyville, Belize District.
