How bout those cans? Don't see them everyday.
We get the cans at Festival Foods in Fond Du Lac, WI :)
Jamaican Style is pure rubbish brewed in the old Rolling Rock factory in Latrobe PA.
I used to love rolling rock. There was a place on Roosevelt boulevard that you could get a bucket of them for $8. It was closed as a nuisance bar...
The American produced red stripe tastes pretty awful. I think for me to drink red stripe, I have to be in the Jamaican climate.
Agreed folks to all the posts. I just had these cans for my beer can collection. Sumting different, yamon
The one that says imported is legit though.
Ja Red Stripe is like 7% alcohol(I think) which is very high compared to the states. I buy it here for 8 bucks a 6 pak and it's lame. I get it just to feel the taste of Negril.
That's why when it's close to Vaca we never drink the imposter prior.
Hussyband,,so are you saying that bar was a Bucket of Blood ? Ya know like if you go to pee they steal Yer drink?
Not that bad, but they used to draw such huge crowds on the specials night (they also had crab boil and all you could drink for $15) that the side streets would be packed with cars, and people would come out so drunk, they were peeing in people's yards. This was probably 20 years ago however... I could never keep up with that crowd nowadays.Quote:

Thought that this was the new look bottle
What new bottles? Did I miss something?
4.7 is correct, The Redstripe cans here in Canada are from Moosehead, and are better than the island stuff. Yes Yvonne Redstripe now comes in a large bottle as well.
Its funny... If you buy the cans here in the US they say imported unlike the bottles that say Jamaican Style, but there is a catch. If you read the fine print you will find that it is imported from Canada!
Fool me once....
Nope. Red Stripe sold in the US is made in Pennsylvania as of 2012
They have a one liter bottle now.Quote:
