I've heard you can buy beer off the beer truck, if you can catch it stopped somewhere. Anybody done this? What do they charge for a case of Red Stripe or Red Stripe light?

Yep, just walk up to the driver and ask. I forget the exact price, but believe it was around $2300J for a case.
You sure can, so cool, Just do it ! about $2300-$2500 couple years ago.
25 for a case seems expensive
A case of Red Stripe has 24 bottles ...... $25 is a pretty good price for that :)
But red stripe is like the Budweiser of Jamaica.. Just seems like it'd be cheaper especially if u are getting it from the truck
25 us will probably get it done.
54,
That is the cost that everyone, including the bars and restaurants pay. That is why you cannot get a Red Stripe for ja$100 anymore.
Jamaica is the size of Connecticut - and Red Stripe is much better than Bud for my tastes. If Bud's major market was only in Connecticut - they would not be able to produce it as cheaply as Bud currently does...
Rum is the bargain drink in Jamaica; not beer; although it's a lot less money that we pay for beer in Canada; and Red Stripe is every bit as good.
Don't get me wrong.. I hate bud and Busch .. Red stripes are much better.. Iam just saying its not a full bodied beer and has a crisp taste like the bud does.. But yes I see your point but its not just Jamaica drinking it.. They have to have plenty of export
Just be glad you dont live in Canada as a case of beer here is $34, so its a good deal to us Canadians.

You can't get export Red Stripe in Virginia anymore. What they sell is made in Latrobe PA (think Rolling Rock).Quote:

From the Glass Lined Tankards of Old Latrobe ......Red Stripe??
Drinking the last of my imported Red Stripe now! This annoys the piss out of me too bc the "Taste of Jamaica" they are selling out of PA is disgusting & nothing like the real stuff!!!Quote:

If your name is poolguy. You're allowed to drive the beer truck. Make deliveries and have beers on the way.
On the island Red Stripe is way better to what we get here....but what we get her is still pretty tasty! ;) Looking forward to some real stuff in 6 weeks!Quote:

dont forget that price is for bottle and case deposit also
they pay deposit in ja?
Hmmm..think we will be doing a taste test after our trip in April!
The bottles here are a little narrower as well. In Ja I got a Red Stripe stuck in my coozie which is designed for cans, and I just slid one of the new ones in the same coozie and it slides in and out. The beer here taste a little more bitter than the Red Stripe in Ja.
Yes there is a bottle deposit, and a deposit on the crate. We have imported Redstripe and Dragon Stout here in Ontario, as well as Red Stripe brewed by Moosehead which is much better!
No matter where it's brewed if you drink so many that you see 3 of everything go for the one in the middle.
Anyways that's what they said in my home ec class back in mi school days, or something like that.

Pooper.....seems your "coozie" got a little stretched out in Jamaica......
It always tastes better on the Rock...............I'm a rum guy myself but there are times an ice cold Red Stripe hits the spot. No matter what you do........enjoy responsibly!Quote:
