Red Stripe in U.S. - Made in Jamaica

[Harleymon]

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 beer I hope it is in addition to a malted barley or wheat.

Guess you don't drink Budweiser, its always been made with rice and barley malt.

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.
