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.

Nope, but I did not know that. I wonder if the rice is supposed to sweeten it up some?

I suspect it's to save $$$ on the ingredients.
