I haven't been able to get it here in this area for a year..the 11.2 ounce version..lots of regular Stripe of course..did they stop exporting it again? Anyone else still getting it in the states?

Did you notice anything on the Red Stripe available in the States? IDK if it is all over, but this is the one I got locally:

Look closely at the left side ;(

That's why it doesn't taste the same as it does in J..I do like the lite that they brew or used to ...if I could find it!
Yep,our Red Stripe in NC is brewed in PA and taste nothing like the fresh island brewed stripes!
We used to get Red Stripe Light at Festival Foods (Fond du Lac, WI) but they haven't carried it in over a year....wasn't a big seller like regular Red Stripe.
Lite is very difficult to find in the New York area. The new Red Stripe Sorrel flavor is my favorite. Picked up a few in Kingston.Quote:

my philosophy:::>> IF you want Jamaican **whatever**
if you want the REAL-deal
THEN:::>> you MUST get it & consume it IN-Jamaica
off-island is NEVER the same .... NEVER...!!!
My wife works at Festival Foods in Appleton, and they are ready, steady suppliers of Pa RS in regular and Light, as well as Appleton in White, Special and Signature (formerly VX) Blend. I got the manager to carry the Extra for a while.Quote:
