I appreciate TAH's style. At least you know exactly what you are dealing with, direct or not. Big ups for apologizing TAH.

As far as beer, I would encourage the OP to buy it from the Hi-Lo as suggested. They will provide you a case in a cardboard box instead of a crate like some places do. You have to leave a deposit on the crates for those who provide them. Hi-Lo will also provide you with cold beer on request, just let the employee who approaches you know what you need. Speaking of the employees at Hi-Lo, the service is about as solid as I have seen in Jamaica.
