Chicken form Chicken's Magic Bus always drinks it warm. We did an overnight to Port Antonio last year. Gave him a warm red stripe the first day and he was still drinking it the next day. Warm and flat.![]()
After my best friend, a Jamaican, asked me to try warm Red Stripe, now I won't drink it any other way. Never gets "skunky" that way.
Ok Lisa, lets see the rankings. Inquiring minds want to know. I have my favorites, but I'm there 50 weeks less per year than you!!!
On my first few trips, cold beer was not a sure bet. I remember a long night at a concert on the beach. As daylight was just breaking, we asked for our last beers. "Make 'em cold ones!" we pleaded. We sat back and watched as the server thrust his arm to the bottom of the barrel of Red Stripes and started digging around. He finally pulled his arm out with two beers, "Here they are!" They weren't any colder than any of the other coolish beers we'd been drinking all night. We just laughed and shook our heads. Just another thread in the rich tapestry that gets woven by coming back to Jamaica for many years. Respect --Marblehead
We're all in this together and none of us is getting out alive.
My favorite driver and friend of 25 years, Garfield Watts, drinks his Red Stripe warm in the "winter"!
I like 'em hot. If you don't down a RS in 5 minutes there hot anyway. Darker beers imo taste better warm
