I couldn't really tell any difference in U.S. vs JA. Redstripe the last few 6 packs. Didn't know they stopped making it in the U.S. Good move. I remember years ago when it was still made in JA. it never seemed t taste as good here. I think a lot of that had something to do with sand, reggae music and a whiff of smoke in the air while consuming that heavenly brew. Been too long since I've enjoyed one in Jamaica.That will all change next week so I'll let you know.

I wonder if Red Stripe Light will come back to the States this year. I know Diego was planning on marketing/pushing RS more worldwide. I haven't been able to buy the lighter side of Jamaica here in the States for probably five years or so. Tastes so good on a hot summer day. Regardless, I do hope more effort is made to promote the product, love drinking it here at home in addition to when I am in Jamrock.
Red Stripe has lost their shelf space here. With so many craft brews in our area they dominate. I called one store that still sold Red Stripe and the lady that answered the phone went and checked their stock and it was old PA brewed Red Stripe. Skunked not good beer. I let her know and have asked several stores about the imported availability and it hasn't found it's way here yet.
Guess, you'll have to go to Fargo!
Heineken owns Red Stripe now...and they are successfully using Jamaica grown cassava as one of their ingredients to replace imported rice.
Are they using that as the starch instead of malted barley or wheat? Or in addition to? Anyone know?Originally Posted by Bnewb

As stated, local cassava is replacing the imported rice. No other ingredients changed! True Jamaican Red Stripe!

Hi Rob,
Yeah but was Red Stripe a rice beer? I mean the true definition of beer uses only 4 ingredients: water, a starch, generally malted barley or wheat, yeast and hops. Just thinking about using rice to brew beerI hope it is in addition to a malted barley or wheat.
