The very thought of Guam always conjures up visions in my head of an island lost in the vast expanses of the Pacific. I’ll actually never forget the day I saw a car with a license plate from Guam. It seemed so out of place in that grocery store parking lot in suburban Philadelphia.
It was interesting to learn that Guam has a microbrewery, The Great Deep Brewing Co., that makes some beers that wouldn’t be out of place at your local brewpub.
The Great Deep Brewing Co. is Guam’s first craft brewery. It opened in 2001. In 2006, its original location was destroyed by fire and its now opened up again in a new location. The brewery is a part of the Mermaid Tavern and Grille in the island’s capital city of Hagåtña, which has a population of about 1,100. Great Deep Brewing has also established (or is establishing) Guam’s first homebrew club.

Guam is an “organized unincorparted territory” of the US and is the southernmost of the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific. It’s had a long history of colonization, most recently by the US military (TGD even brews Marine Corps Drive Oatmeal Stout). The total population is around 175,000 and mail is delivered to Guamians by the US postal system. Guam has two official languages, Chamarro and English.
