    Dragon stout vs red stripe

    Between the two beers which one do you think is best? I've not tried the Dragon Stout, but seems like it would be like a German Stout beer.

    If you're a fan of Guinness or Newcastle, you will LOVE Dragon Stout -- it's extremely sweet, even for a dark beer, and it's got a nice kick to it, too!

    Actually Dragon Stout is like the "Irish" Guinness Stout. Top fermenting Ales are from the UK, bottom fermenting Lagers are more common in Germany. I believe you were thinking of a Double Bock style lager popular in Germany.

    Dragon Stout is an Irish/English style Ale

    Red Stripe is a Pilsner style larger

    Both beers are considered very good Caribbean Brewed Beers. However, adjuncts ( like corn or rice syrup ) are used to brew both beers.

    Enjoy,

    You really can't compare the two like apples to oranges.
    Dragon Stout is a heavy dark beer (I love it but due to the heaviness I can't drink too many or with food). Very comparable to Guiness or Killians and has more alcohol.
    RS is a lighter pilsner which is more refreshing on a hot day and you can drink them all day long!!!!

    it should be;
    Dragon versus Guinness......or Red Stripe versus Red Stripe Bold........or Red Stripe versus Kingston......
    personally I drink all 4.......but not that Red Stripe Light stuff........no way Jose

    personally I think Dragon, Guinness and Red Stripe Bold are all great.......and of course Red Stripe is the old standby.....never had Kingston

    I just wish they'd export DS to the US like they used to so I don't have to brew it myself, thank heavens they now sell Guiness FES here (the same Guiness sold in JA).

    Technically the Dragon is different than Guiness as it's actually a milk stout - it contains (non-fermentable) lactose sugar like Lion stout does.
