I did find brewed in Jamaica today at Riley's in Madison, WI. I kind of figured they would come thru for me. Was in town so I stopped.
Has anyone seen Red Stripe Light on the shelves? I had read it was going to be reintroduced to the States soon.
Finally, Was able to get Jamaica Brewed Red Stripe last night in Publix here in West Coast of Florida. Better yet it was Buy 1, get 1 free, I bought them out of 28 six packs. Worked out to $17.98 a case.
If I can't be in Ja. at least I can close my eyes and savor it's flavor again not that the swill they tried to pass off is gone.
Wow, I've only seen it at pizza shops here in PA for $11.50 a six pack.Originally Posted by Packrat
Haven't tried going to a beer distributor to see a case price yet.

~Just my two cents worth - I mostly only comment on places I've seen and or eaten at personally.
Red Stripe has returned to towns around us and it is way better than the product from PA that was around for way to long. Not here yet, but Hooray Beer.
The 4 ingredient heritage of beer (hops barley water yeast) comes from the 1516 Bavarian Purity law. Most American style light lagers have traditionally added additional grains to the mix. www.thespruce.com/rice-or-corn-in-beer-353284
Packrat,
We just returned from spending the week in Sarasota. We were very disappointed that the B1G1 sale on Red Stripe did not not start until the Wednesday of our Saturday to Sunday trip. We stocked up early in the week on 12 packs and when I walked in Publix on Thursday I thought I had died and gone to heaven. $18.00 bucks including tax for a case is crazy. Luckily we were able to drink enough to take advantage of the deal our last few days of the trip. Had that sale been on the whole week, we might have put a big dent in the financials of the importer. I agree with the earlier comment that when you get them ice cold and drink them with your eyes closed, it almost seems like you are in JA.

Finally picked up a made in Jamaica six pack ($9.99) to celebrate Jersey City Caribbean day festival this past weekend. That first sip transported me right back home. Also picked up a bottle of Wray and Nephew overproof to mix with sorrel at the festival.
Has anyone seen Red Stripe Light for sale here in the States?
An older PR from the company indicated/hinted that RSL would be again available on shelves here in the States. It was a few years back but then pulled and I haven't seen it since. If you remember it was in a stubby bottle unlike the clear bottle you see in Jamrock.
i bought some jumbo 24 ounce bottles last night...makes the 11.2 look like minis..
