**Kalik** is a [Bahamian](/source/Bahamas) brand of [beer](/source/Beer). It is made by the *Commonwealth Brewery* in [Nassau](/source/Nassau%2C_Bahamas) which also produces [Heineken](/source/Heineken_Pilsener), [Guinness](/source/Guinness) and [Vitamalt](/source/Vitamalt).[1]

The original Kalik is a [lager](/source/Lager) with 5% alc./vol. It was designed by [Heineken International](/source/Heineken_International) in 1988, based on studies of the Bahamian market. It seized market leadership from [Beck's](/source/Beck's), which had dominated the local market before.[2] According to the bottle label the name of Kalik is derived from sound of cowbells heard during the annual Bahamian festival of [Junkanoo](/source/Junkanoo).

There are five more variations of Kalik beer:

- Kalik Gold, is a 7% alc./vol. beer. It was first introduced in 1992 as a limited edition brew to mark the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ landing in the new world. It has since become a permanent offering.

- Kalik Light, a light beer with 4.5% alc./vol., was introduced in 1997 in response to consumers’ requests for a Bahamian light beer. The brand sponsors Bahamian [regattas](/source/Regatta) and other water sport events.

- Kalik Lime was introduced in 2010, Kalik beer with a hint of citrus. It is 4% alc./vol.

- Kalik Radler was introduced in May 2014. It is a 2% alc./vol. blend of Kalik beer and lemon juice.
